Parachute Mini grade 5 titanium, M390 steel blade, magnetic open and closure, gravity knife DCPCMIN

The Daily Carry Co. Parachute Mini is a purpose-built gravity knife that merges tactical roots with clean, modern craftsmanship. Inspired by the compact gravity knives issued to WWII paratroopers, this tool channels that heritage into a streamlined form built for today’s EDC needs. With its under-2-inch blade, featherweight construction, and smart deployment system, the Parachute Mini is designed for everyday reliability in a sleek, minimalist profile.

At the heart of this knife is a 1.61" M390 stainless steel tanto blade, chosen for its remarkable sharpness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The tanto geometry adds piercing power and structural strength at the tip, giving this short blade serious cutting ability. Whether you’re handling quick utility jobs or precision slicing, the blade holds its own and stays sharp through hard use.

The standout feature of the Parachute Mini is its magnetic gravity deployment mechanism. This innovative system delivers a fast, fluid, and satisfying one-handed open and close. Free from the friction of springs or hinges, the design reduces moving parts while boosting durability and mechanical efficiency. It’s a dependable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional gravity or automatic knives.

The body of the Parachute Mini is machined from aerospace-grade Grade 5 titanium, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio and long-term durability. At just 1.58 ounces, the knife practically disappears in the pocket, but still delivers a full grip and confident handling when deployed. The sand-blasted finish gives the titanium handle a clean, matte appearance that resists wear and adds a refined edge to its rugged build.

Its compact closed length of 2.48" and total opened length of 4.09" make it a discreet yet functional carry option, especially for users in areas with blade length restrictions. Fully compliant with California gravity knife laws, this knife offers a legal way to carry high performance in a small footprint. A titanium pocket clip rounds out the package, keeping the knife secure and accessible at all times. Order it today from SMKW!
