LionSteel Mini Folding Knife Olive Wood 2.36in Plain Satin Drop Point LS8200UL

The LionSteel Mini Olive Wood is a refined example of how compact design and premium materials can come together to create a folding knife that’s both practical and elegant. Purpose-built for everyday tasks, this ultra-compact folder is remarkably light and easy to carry, yet it remains dependable and capable when it’s time to cut. Its reduced dimensions make it one of the smallest everyday carry knives available, ideal for those who prefer a minimalist tool that’s always within reach.

At just 5.71 inches overall, the Mini lives up to its name while delivering confident performance. The 2.36-inch blade offers precise control for small cutting tasks, and its slim profile makes the knife feel nimble and intuitive in hand. Weighing only 2.58 ounces, it rides comfortably in the pocket without pulling or shifting, making it an excellent choice for all-day carry in any setting.

The blade is crafted from AISI D2 steel and finished with a smooth satin polish that enhances both its appearance and performance. D2 steel is valued for its excellent edge retention and long-lasting sharpness, allowing the blade to handle daily cutting chores without frequent maintenance. The satin finish gives the knife a clean, classic look while maintaining a practical, low-reflection surface that ages gracefully with use.

Opening the Mini is simple and natural thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, allowing easy one-handed deployment for both right- and left-handed users. Once open, the liner lock engages securely, providing reliable blade lockup and added confidence during use. This proven locking system complements the knife’s compact size and reinforces LionSteel’s focus on safety and usability.

What truly sets this version apart is its olive wood handle. The warm tones and organic grain of the wood give the Mini a timeless character, ensuring that no two knives look exactly alike. The handle feels smooth and comfortable in hand, adding a natural warmth that contrasts beautifully with the satin-finished blade. Titanium 6Al-4V bolsters add strength and durability while elevating the overall fit and finish, balancing traditional materials with modern engineering.

Designed by Max, the Mini reflects LionSteel’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and thoughtful details. The stainless steel pocket clip, included on versions with titanium bolsters, allows for secure and discreet carry, keeping the knife accessible without drawing attention. Every element of the Mini is carefully considered, resulting in a folding knife that feels purposeful, elegant, and easy to live with.

Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the LionSteel Mini Olive Wood is an excellent choice for those who appreciate compact design, premium materials, and Italian craftsmanship. It’s a standout option from the best online knife store for anyone looking to add a small, stylish, and reliable folding knife to their everyday rotation.
