The CRKT Minimalist Cleaver is built for those who refuse to slow down. Designed to handle the everyday tasks that fill your day—from slicing through stubborn packaging to preparing a quick camp meal—this fixed blade embodies the perfect balance between compact size and uncompromising strength. Measuring just 5.06 inches overall and weighing only 1.7 ounces, the Minimalist Cleaver delivers the utility of a full-sized tool in a form so lightweight you’ll forget you’re carrying it until the moment it’s needed.

Created by master knife designer Alan Folts, the CRKT Minimalist series has become a global favorite among everyday carry enthusiasts for its exceptional ergonomics and performance-driven design. The Cleaver Blackout model pushes that legacy even further, combining bold aesthetics with purpose-built functionality. Its cleaver-style blade, crafted from durable 5Cr15MoV stainless steel, offers unmatched versatility for slicing, chopping, and scraping—whether you’re working in the shop, on the trail, or at your desk. The distinctive black stonewash finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also conceals wear, keeping the knife looking sharp and stealthy through years of use.

Despite its size, the CRKT Minimalist Cleaver feels rock-solid in hand. The black G10 handle features three deep finger choils that provide a natural, locked-in grip for precise control and confident handling. A braided paracord fob extends the grip for added leverage, allowing for surprising power in a compact frame. Every curve of this knife was designed with ergonomics in mind, ensuring it performs far beyond what its dimensions suggest.

Portability is at the heart of its design. The included thermoplastic sheath offers multiple carry options, letting you wear it discreetly as a neck knife or mount it to your belt or pack for quick deployment. Wherever you take it, the Minimalist Cleaver is built to be ready.

For anyone who values efficiency, reliability, and precision, the CRKT Minimalist Cleaver stands as a true everyday companion. It’s a knife that proves small can be mighty—and it’s available now from SMKW, your trusted source for the best knives and gear on the market.
