SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Lucent Automatic OTF Black Mini delivers the same precision engineering as its larger counterpart, scaled down into a sleek, ultra-light design built for discreet everyday carry. With a 1.9" harpoon-style blade crafted from Böhler M390 steel, this knife offers outstanding edge retention and strength while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. Its black finish provides a tactical, non-reflective look that adds to its rugged appeal.
Measuring just 2.8" closed and weighing a mere 1.5oz, the Lucent Black Mini is purpose-built for portability. Its compact size makes it an easy fit for pocket, pack, or keychain carry without ever getting in the way. The dual-action automatic system deploys and retracts the blade with authority, delivering quick, reliable performance when it’s needed most. Small in stature but uncompromising in function, this knife proves that capability doesn’t always come in a large package.
The handle is constructed from anodized 6061-T6 aluminum with a precision-machined cross-hatch texture for a confident grip in any condition. The all-black finish keeps the profile understated yet refined, while the ambidextrous deep-carry pocket clip ensures it rides securely and discreetly whether carried left or right-handed. Its slim, ergonomic build feels natural in the hand, offering surprising control for a knife this size.
