CRKT MinimalX Black Stainless Steel Handle Black Brush & TiNi Coated 12C27 Blade CR5915K

The CRKT MinimalX Black is a compact folding knife with a bold, tactical edge and minimalist design. Built for everyday carry but designed to stand up to real use, this knife is a true example of less is more—streamlined, functional, and built to cut through the nonsense. Whether you're opening boxes on the job or keeping a reliable backup blade in your kit, the MinimalX delivers with precision and style.

At the core of the MinimalX is a 2.19" blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished with a black titanium nitride (TiNi) coating, which not only boosts durability but also adds a low-profile, tactical appearance. Its plain edge and modified drop point shape provide clean slicing performance and solid tip control for detail work.

Opening is fast and smooth thanks to the integrated flipper tab, making one-handed deployment easy and reliable. A strong framelock mechanism keeps the blade firmly in place during use, offering peace of mind and solid lock-up whether you're handling precise tasks or rougher work.

The handle is forged from stainless steel and finished with a sleek black brush texture that adds both style and grip. Despite its slim profile, the ergonomics provide a secure feel in the hand. It’s built tough, with the kind of heft that feels reassuring without weighing you down. The black hardware and tip-up pocket clip complete the low-vis look, making it ideal for discreet carry in urban or professional environments.

Closed, the MinimalX measures just 3.12", and at only 5.3" overall when open, it’s a pocket-sized powerhouse that doesn’t compromise on performance. At 2.6 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday carry yet built with the materials and durability you’d expect from a trusted field tool.

The CRKT MinimalX Black is a compact, all-metal folder that’s ready to work when you are—quiet, capable, and built to last. Order it today from SMKW!
