The Koenig Mini Arius Folder delivers the same premium craftsmanship and uncompromising performance that made the Arius a modern classic, all in a more compact and everyday-friendly size. Designed for those who appreciate precision engineering without unnecessary bulk, this folder combines elite materials with clean, purposeful styling that stands out in any collection or pocket.
Its 3.0-inch drop point blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel, a high-performance alloy trusted for its remarkable edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. The hand-rubbed finish paired with polished flats gives the blade a refined, custom-built appearance that highlights the quality of the machining and finishing work. At 0.13 inches thick, the blade offers excellent strength while maintaining the slicing performance and versatility that make a drop point profile one of the most practical designs available.
The Mini Arius features dual deployment options with both a flipper and a thumb hole, allowing for quick, smooth operation with whichever method you prefer. Every opening is crisp and controlled, backed by the precision tolerances Koenig is known for. Once deployed, the dependable framelock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, creating a solid and confidence-inspiring tool for everyday use.
The handle is machined from lightweight 6AL4V titanium and finished with the distinctive burnished two-tone Q pattern. The contrasting finishes give the knife a sophisticated look while enhancing the visual depth of the titanium scales. Strong, corrosion resistant, and remarkably light, the titanium construction helps keep the Mini Arius at just 3.4 ounces. Measuring 4.375 inches closed and 7.25 inches overall, it offers a comfortable grip and capable cutting platform while remaining compact enough for effortless pocket carry.
Attention to detail extends beyond the knife itself. The Mini Arius arrives packaged in a premium box with a magnetized closing lid and includes a cleaning cloth and a sticker, providing a presentation that reflects the quality and craftsmanship of the folder inside.
Built for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise, the Koenig Mini Arius combines premium steel, aerospace-grade titanium, and exceptional machining into a knife that's ready for daily work while carrying the fit and finish of a custom piece. It's proof that a compact folder can still deliver big performance.
