China is where they're made. However, not all of them are as bad as they seem.
This knife is one I own, and the belt clip can be used to attach it to a boot.
Yes, as well as earrings! It comes with a black three-foot cord that looks like 550 paracord, and it's a cool little knife.
It isn't the drop point, no.
Selected User Reviews For CRKT Minimalist Collectioin
I bought the Bowie version four years ago and was completely enthralled by it. I finally attached it to my Molle backpack and decided to wear it as an EDC on my belt. The drop point version's blade quality isn't the same as the Bowie's. The sheath is also of lower quality. It appears to be made of low-cost materials. Even the holes for attaching the belt clip are not properly spaced and lined up. While the sheath was not genuine Kydex, it felt like it and the holes were all properly spaced and aligned. I was a bit let down. I'm thinking about returning it and trading it in for the SOG (which is more expensive but worth a shot).
br>br>Their response has left me feeling extremely disappointed and disheartened. br>br>After purchasing SIX of these knives for myself and as gifts, my knife fell out of the (loose) sheath and was lost for the first time. br>br>The sheaths are usually surprisingly secure and have never let loose of my knives, in my pack, hiking, or around the yard. The knife is great and was recommended as a subtle and small device for self protection on the trail, perfect for smaller hands. KNIFE IS VERY GOOD. SHEATH IS LOOSE! br>br> THE KNIFE HAS GONE MISSING! br>On the last knife, I didn't realize the sheath was much looser than the other and wouldn't hold my other Minimalist, so it fell out during normal use (light hiking). CRKT CUSTOMER SERVICE: CRKT CUSTOMER SERVICE: CRKT CUSTOMER SERVICE: CRKT CUSTOMER SERVICE: CRKT CUST I assumed the service would be excellent because the knives are fantastic and I've owned a lot of them. That was not the case. [Previously, I would have been a spokesperson for this product because I adored it]. br>br>Despite the fact that the sheath was defective, resulting in the loss of the knife, I was told that they would only replace the sheath, not the knife, which I don't need because I don't have one. A long, frustrating conversation ensued. br>br>There was no "great to hear from a loyal customer" or "I'm sorry that happened, how can we improve our product?" The representative simply stated that "knives are not replaced. " Even when it's due to a product flaw, they don't seem to do it. Even more astonishing was the fact that what I thought was a great company had no interest in learning what had happened in order to improve their product or keep a customer. It was as if I were conversing with a glum adolescent. WOW. br>br>WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW WOW. CRKT: Perhaps your salespeople require additional training in customer retention. Today, I believe you have lost a significant number of fans.
It appeals to me. The quality of each coat is outstanding. It is extremely portable and light. When I need it, I wear it around my neck, but this is my standard setup. The knife is securely held in the sheath. I've never had a problem with it coming out unintentionally during testing when the movements were above normal. Before I put my life in the hands of any edc equipment, I test it. You only get one chance, but you can increase your chances if you're prepared to defend yourself. I would strongly suggest it.
The blade is "sharp enough" and a very handy little fixed blade - however - The knife is easily knocked loose while on the belt line due to the poor sheath - My first day at work with it on my belt, this happened a couple of times - As a result, the blade is completely missing, so I wouldn't recommend it just because of the sheath. It's a pity, because it's a well-made little poker.
In general, the CRKT Folts Minimalist family is fantastic; The Tanto and the Bowie are two that I own. This one isn't quite as good as the rest. br>br>I was hoping for the same silky smooth handle- tang transition, similar to how the Micarta handles its siblings The G10 scales don't match the tang, and there's an uneasy groove with non-G10 scales. Where my fingers grip, there are rounded edges. br>br>I had anticipated the drop as well. point blade should be at least as thick as a Bowie-style blade near the tip blade with a design; Unfortunately, it tapers earlier than the Bowie and appears to bend or snap if significant sideways force is applied. It's also a lopsided grind. br>br>In short, given the rest of the family, this is disappointing.
I wouldn't be afraid of self-injury if I had to use it in self-defense because the grip is very secure, and I can't imagine my hand sliding forward onto the blade if I hit bone or a protective plate. For someone working in the security field (officer, soldier, etc. ), this would be an excellent "last resort" blade. ) The sheath that comes with the knife is well-made and secures the blade. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and plan to order a few more blade styles in the future.
It's a great budget EDC knife with a small form factor. For me, it was an excellent purchase. It isn't expensive, and because it is all black, it appears to be uncluttered. Because of its small size, it does not get in the way. Due to the last two points I've mentioned, it's also very discreet. With the included belt loop, I keep this knife on my belt. I use it for a variety of tasks, including opening boxes and removing plastic restraints from products. Basically, this knife has always been able to perform the tasks that I required of it. However, I have yet to encounter a situation in which a larger knife would be required, which could mean that it does everything I need it to do, or that I don't do things that require a larger knife. In any case, I am very pleased with this purchase, and I believe that most people would be as well.
As soon as I opened it, I examined the edge and found it to be a good grind - as well as being acute I experimented with it for a while on mundane tasks - I did cut through an amazon box tape (the paper kind with reinforced twine in it) and it sliced through it like a hot knife through butter, but no cardboard. I used my ceramic sharpener to hone the blade and will take good care of it. With proper care, I believe it will last a lifetime. My Gerber Guardian, which was purchased in 1995, is still in excellent condition. Take good care of your belongings. br>br>The belt holster functions as expected. I didn't agree with the reviewer who said it didn't line up properly. Depending on how you want to mount it, the holes line up in different ways. Whether it's horizontally or vertically.
