Katana

I like the mfgr (CRKT) to begin with I've owned several of their products and while I don't like many styles, their quality, fit & finish is always great. I wanted a neck knife that was compact enough to be comfortable to wear under a shirt and still not be noticeable. This is the longest/ largest neck knife in their line. If you want the largest blade in this "small category" this IS IT! Razor sharp, fits the kydex sheath perfectly and the smallish looking grip is amazingly easy to draw and control. They also include a kydex belt loop attachment for horizontal carry on the belt. There in no manual to reference this part, or anything about the knife, at all, in the box.. but if you have no idea what a neck knife is for or how it works, you probably shouldn't buy one. I ALSO bought my lady a normal size minimalist in neon green (gears) it is a very attractive and novel look. I'll try and review that one separately. In short, all the CRKT neck knives are great quality, and worth the price. When selecting one, buy one that's the right size to carry 24/7 if need be, and get one you personally find cool looking; you'll be more likely to carry it and use it.

Had the basic Minimalist, which I really enjoyed. Used it for everything from opening boxes, skinning small game, getting the dirt from under my nails, and picking my teeth. I get much the same use out of this one. Never had to sharpen it. The finger grip is excellent and even though the handle is teeny tiny, it remains one of my favorite blades to hold, especially for skinning. No matter how much viscera you get on it, you can still hold onto it and maintain perfectly detailed control over the blade. The only real problem I've had is figuring out how to get it to clip onto my belt. Other than that, it's damn near perfect.

What can you say? Crkt always makes good stuff. Knife came in extremely sharp

Well-made, arrived in a timely manner, and as described and pictured. Good value. Pleased customer.

Decent value, I expected more. Not exceptionally sharp. I replaced the belt loop with an ulticlip and it doesn't fit perfect but it passable. I expected more cutting power from this, end up using my leatherman 154cm blade more often. I like the longer blade length but its not as useful as I thought it would be.

Customer service WOW I Oder this and found it the be better than expected nice blade size super comfortable grip CRKT sent a email to review my purchase, I said the same things, except that I had lost the knife shortly after the purchase while on a hike with my dog the customer service department Actually, read my review and replaced my lost knife at no charge I have a few CRKT knifes all of which are very fine blades each of witch has it’s purpose but this kind of customer service in all but unheard of in todays world so thank you for a great product and some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced

Outstanding EDC knife. I love the modern take on the classic katana blade shape. Great knife ergonomics; fits perfectly in my hand. Quality materials, sharp blade, and snug fit in the sheath - no rattle whatsoever. This is my second CRKT minimalist and highly recommend them.

nice knife, but came really dull, my butter knives are sharper :0(
