MinimalX Everyday Carry Folding Knife: Razor Style with 12C27 Steel Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, 5915

Superb build quality, very rugged. Good factory edge (sharp). practical and compact design. Great value and an excellent minimalist EDC tool overall. 5/5.

Bad A little edc as always from CRKT. Small but sturdy and came with a GREAT edge on it. No play in the hinge. Pocket clip was very tight but broke in within a month.

Immediately became my favorite work knife. I initially got it because I wanted an edc blade that wasn't "threatening," but the functionality has kept it in my pocket as my primary edc knife. The blade shape allows for a ton of different uses from slicing to scraping, it holds an edge well, very lightweight in the pocket, and the knife feels comfortable to hold/use from a number of angles/positions.

Cool looking little "CHUB" knife but pretty much useless in most cases other than opening boxes or your finger lol. Blade wobble is significantly noticeable after a dozen open and closings, so get the lock tight n trox bit rdy. Scales have 0% gripp. Which is why the photo of my MX has adhesive hexagonal stickers on it. Extra Grippage is needed... Its sharp. but not razor sharp like it should be considering the price I paid for it. Its a gimmick knife and nothing more. Something to show your next door knife neighbor and ponder why something like this even exists in the first place. Its basically the knife version of a 22 derringer.

This little guy has been my EDC for the past month, so I figure it's review time. My previous EDC was a CJRB Crag, the extreme polar opposite the MinimalX. The Crag is hilariously excessive and fun to whip out whenever a knife is necessary. Before the Crag, I primarily carried either my Benchmade automatics which are more military memorabilia at this point, but still so useful...or the smallest Gerber's I could find, which I might as well have bought them in bulk because I've lost more than I care to admit for various reasons. When this knife was announced, it brought back that desire in my for a smaller framed knife. I like it. A lot. It will continue to be my EDC until something else usurps it (I've got my eyes on things, the EDC knife bug bit me bad). It's weird not having a knife with a point, like you're standard drop point or the cleaver-like Crag, but the edge is sharp enough that it really hasn't made a difference for my usage. It was as sharp as you'd expect out of the box and is holding it's edge ok. It could use a little sharpening now, but I wouldn't call it dull by any means. Primary usage has been to open boxes and mail. The front edge being sharp is a nice touch. It's small and lightweight, but heavy for its size and very sturdy, there is no flex in the body or blade whatsoever. It's like holding a small block of dense metal...which it is. It doesn't feel like a cheap knife, which is good because it's not. I never used the clip, but it was super easy to take off. This knife has such a flat profile that I can keep it in my back pocket all day long and never feel it once. I'm a fan of how the knife is opened, which takes some getting used too. It's like flicking a lighter with your index finger instead of your thumb. The action isn't smooth all the way through as it does take some pressure to get it to open and it does start to catch a bit before it locks. If you flick it hard enough every time, it's not a problem, but it will let you know if your flick was a little too weak. I have no trouble operating it with one-hand, opening or closing. Final thoughts: If you're looking for something quality, simple, elegant, unique, than this is the knife for you. It's a no frills, mature, professional piece in the palm of your hand. If you want something in your face and exciting, this isn't it. Might I suggest the Crag?
