Minimalist Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath, Black, 2384K

I have a lot of knives. This one has a special place and a tremendous amount of usage for me. I am a falconer and I need to crouch down to dispatch prey under my bird. With the belt sheath I can access the knife even in a crouch and the handle never slips at all even with blood because of the molded handle and the cord at the end. The blade is very small so it minimizes the amount that the bird could contact. It stays securely in the sheath when we're scrambling all over creation. The blade is extremely sharp. It does need to be sharpened with some frequency, but squirrel skin is tough and it does a great job. My sons and I have been carrying these for 11 years and each of us love them. Perfect for our use case.

I now own three knives in the CRKT Minimalist Series. I like them all, but this one is my favorite. I work in a warehouse and needed a knife for various uses, but primarily for opening boxes and cutting cardboard. I originally bought the Minimalist Bowie, and loved the light weight and how the finger grooved handle fit my hand, but the blade shape wasn't ideal for using the tip to pierce tape on boxes (tip curved up a little too much), and also wasn't great for cutting cardboard due to the short length and curve of the blade. I then purchased the Minimalist Wharncliffe, thinking that the blade shape would be better and everything else would be the same. Unfortunately, the handle on the Wharncliffe model is smaller and has significantly less girth. It didn't fit my hands nearly as well, so it wasn't the perfect knife for me either. I don't know if this drop point model is newer than the other two I own, but for some reason I only noticed it recently, so I figured I'd give it one more try. Just as I'd hoped, this model is exactly what I'd been looking for. It has the larger handle like the Bowie model, but the blade shape is much better and works perfectly for the warehouse tasks I need it for. I wear it on my belt, with the handle down, and it's so light and small that I don't even notice it. The only downside is that the drop point model doesn't fit as tightly in the sheath as either of the other models I tried. It still feels pretty secure when you sheath it, but it doesn't have the satisfying click of the other two models to give me as much peace of mind. I may have to change the orientation of the blade on my belt if this becomes an issue, but so far it hasn't been a problem. It could just be an issue with the particular sheath I received, so others may have less of an issue. The knife is great, though, and I will be carrying it every day.

I bought this about 2 years ago and have used it nearly daily since then. I carry this as a neck knife - originally worn on the supplied cord lanyard, and eventually I replaced the cord with a chain. Wearing it on a lanyard keeps it immediately available. I also carry a folding knife in my pocket, but I tend to use THIS knife for most of my daily needs due to it being right there on the lanyard hanging at my chest. I find it easy to pull the knife from the sheath and reseat it back into the sheath one-handed. Despite being drawn from the sheath and replaced several times a day every day for the past (nearly) 2 years, it still clicks into the sheath securely every time. The short grip makes it less useful (to me) for heavy use, but it's been perfect for daily light duty such as opening and breaking down packages, cutting small cordage, etc. The drop-point blade works well for slicing, cutting, and piercing. The edge has held up well, and takes resharpening well. I also like the look of it - the black blade and black grip. Though, I realize that is a subjective personal preference.

Great blade for EDC as long as you have an outer jacket. Folks have asked if I think I'm Rambo. Although the answer is yes, I humbly state, "No.. it's for k9 defense," they tend to continue on their way. :-)

Love this knife. Hangs around the neck, and is very comfortable to wear. Holds an edge very well, and also easy to sharpen.

For once a knife that is bare bones and nice. Sharp out of the sheath, love the holder, and takes some pretty good abuse..I've bought another one for a family member, and he loves it as well.

These are great little knives. I honestly don't know how many I have because I keep buying more to be able to put one in every bag and backpack I own. My wife carries one during her daily runs and has asked me to get more to give out as gifts..

Just what i wanted. Just what i needed. CRKT has always been a standard for bushcraft and blades! Buy this thing!

Le design est réussi, le couteau tient très bien en main malgré sa taille réduite et assure une prise forte et confortable. C'est un défaut récurrent des couteaux de cou, la prise en main est souvent trop faible à cause de la longueur réduite du manche si l'on doit forcer pour couper, en l'occurrence, cela n'est pas le cas; la prise en main est meilleure que sur tous les autres necks knifes que je possède. La lame est tranchante dés la sortie de boite, adaptée pour des petits travaux EDC ou pour la défense personnelle, trés précise au niveau de la pointe pour les petits travaux du quotidien. Peut être porté très discrètement à la ceinture ou au cou sous une chemise, la finition est excellente et sans défauts.

Awesome

Gran Cuchillo con excelente Calidad

Ottimo neck knife

Wirklich super ich bin begeistert. Das Messer kam Rasiermesser scharf an und liegt optimal in der Hand war erst was skeptisch das der kleine Finger kein extra Ausbuchtung hat aber dies stört garnicht. Das Gewicht ist optimal für kleine schneide arbeiten und zum öffnen von Paketen etc. auch wenn die Schärfe damit eigentlich unterfordert ist. Eignet sich auch gut zum schnitzen. Sitz fest in der dafür mitgelieferten scheide und kann an Gürtel oder um den Hals getragen werden beide Halterungen sind miteinbegriffen. Optisch macht es echt was her und ist in meinem Freundeskreis direkt aufgefallen. Hinten hat es ein wenig dünnes geflochtenes Schnur oder Paracord für den „Notfall“ wobei ich vermute das es von der Länge nicht zum abspannen eines Tarp reicht auch wenn ich das nicht mit Gewissheit sagen kann. In diesem Sinne ich hoffe ich konnte helfen.
