Measuring just 5.99 inches overall, the Mini Shakan is perfectly sized for discreet carry without sacrificing cutting ability. Its 2.48-inch drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a high-performance material known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The satin finish enhances the blade’s clean lines, giving it a refined, professional look while also providing subtle protection against wear and fingerprints. The drop point design is versatile, allowing precise control for slicing, piercing, and everyday cutting tasks, making it ideal for both outdoor adventures and daily use.
The handle is a highlight of the Mini Shakan’s design, constructed from durable black aluminum with a ripple texture that enhances grip while adding a modern, stylish touch. The lightweight handle keeps the knife nimble in the hand, complementing the blade’s smooth action. Its streamlined shape ensures comfort and control, while the stainless steel liners provide strength and stability. This careful combination of materials delivers a knife that feels solid, balanced, and exceptionally well-made, despite its compact size.
Operating the Mini Shakan is effortless thanks to its caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly, which allows the blade to deploy smoothly and quickly with minimal effort. The button lock mechanism ensures secure blade retention, giving confidence and safety in every use. Each motion—opening, locking, and closing—feels precise and satisfying, reflecting the attention to detail that CIVIVI is known for.
At just 1.94 ounces, the Mini Shakan is ultra-lightweight, making it one of the most portable knives in its class. Its reversible tip-up stainless steel pocket clip allows for convenient left- or right-handed carry, keeping it secure and easily accessible in any pocket. Every piece of hardware, from the screws to the clip, is made from stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and a cohesive look that complements the overall design.
