Crkt Minimalist Katana 3.56" Plain

The Crkt Minimalist Katana 3.56" Plain is a precision-engineered fixed blade designed by Alan Folts to provide maximum control in a highly portable footprint. This model expands on the legendary Minimalist series by incorporating a longer, katana-inspired blade profile that balances tactical reach with everyday carry convenience. It is an ideal solution for duty professionals and prepared citizens who require a lightweight secondary tool that does not compromise on cutting capability or ergonomics.

Technically, the 3.56-inch plain edge blade offers a versatile belly for slicing while maintaining a reinforced tip for piercing tasks common in field environments. The signature deep finger grooves in the handle ensure a secure, "locked-in" grip even when wearing gloves or operating in wet conditions, which is a critical safety feature for high-pressure applications. At a total weight of only 0.38 lbs, this knife provides a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes it easy to integrate into any kit without adding significant bulk.

The Crkt Minimalist Katana 3.56" Plain excels when used as a discreet defensive tool or a utility blade for on-the-road versatility. Its slim profile is compatible with various mounting solutions, allowing for neck carry or belt attachment depending on your specific mission requirements or personal preference. If you are looking to buy a reliable, low-profile blade with professional-grade specifications, this Folts-designed knife offers the durability and performance needed for rigorous tactical use.
