Icarus Dp Mini

The 5.11 Tactical Icarus DP Mini is a purpose-built everyday carry knife engineered for professionals who demand reliability in compact form. Law enforcement, military personnel, and tactical operators choose this drop-point design for its balance of cutting performance and discreet pocket carry. The Mini variant strips away excess weight while retaining the blade geometry and steel quality that make the Icarus platform trusted in field operations worldwide.

Built around a 2.8-inch 8CR13MOV stainless steel drop-point blade, the Icarus DP Mini delivers precision cutting with corrosion resistance critical for sustained carry in variable environments. The full skeletonized liner construction reduces overall weight to just 2 ounces, eliminating unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity and edge retention. The lean profile—measuring 8.45 inches in overall length with only 0.85 inches in thickness—ensures this knife disappears into a pocket, pack, or tactical loadout without printing or creating snag points during movement or gear transitions.

This knife excels in austere environments where minimal weight savings compound across a full tactical kit. Field-proven by users who require one-handed deployment, precise utility cuts, and all-day carry without fatigue, the Icarus DP Mini suits both duty and civilian contexts. The drop-point geometry provides flat-belly cutting surfaces ideal for controlled slicing while the reinforced tip resists rolling on harder materials—essential characteristics for anyone who treats cutting tools as mission-critical equipment rather than convenience items.
