Designed for everyday carry with premium performance in mind, the Begg Knives Mini Sheepsfoot Folder is a compact cutting tool that combines clean design, smooth functionality, and high-grade materials. Crafted by custom knifemaker Jared Van Otterloo, this compact folder is a perfect example of modern utility meeting traditional style in a durable, pocket-friendly format.
The 2.37" blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance alloy known for its corrosion resistance and edge retention. With a sleek satin finish, the Sheepsfoot blade provides excellent control for precise cutting tasks, whether you’re opening packages, slicing cord, or working through daily EDC needs. The Sheepsfoot design, known for its flat cutting edge and safety-first tip profile, is ideal for those who prioritize utility and control in a small knife.
A classic nail nick offers easy, two-handed deployment, while the smooth washer-based pivot and half-stop mechanism enhance safety and control during opening and closing. These subtle mechanical details contribute to a refined, reliable action that stands out in the compact knife category.
This mini folder is more than just functional—it’s built to look good and feel great in hand. The stainless steel handle scales offer durability and a clean, industrial aesthetic, while the inlaid brass shield adds a sophisticated touch that pays homage to traditional slip joint styles. Weighing just 2.43 ounces and measuring 3.12 inches closed, this knife is compact enough to disappear into a pocket but substantial enough to deliver confidence during use.
Jared Van Otterloo’s thoughtful design work is evident in the knife’s clean lines, practical proportions, and quality construction. Whether you're a knife enthusiast collecting custom collaborations or someone in need of a high-performing everyday tool, this knife delivers craftsmanship and cutting performance in a sleek, carry-ready form.
