Better In Hand; Better Aesthetics!

While I thought (and stil do!) the MINIMIS was a great little fixed blade, the updates, though minor, make it a whole new knife! The round holes in the handle make it grippier; the swedge does, in fact, make the blade pointier; and that combo makes the knife appear more aggressive, capable, and aesthetically pleasing! A Great Update! Highly Recommended!

Pros: Weight, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Overall Quality, Sheath/Scabbard, Finish

So close, yet so far away

I really wanted to like this little buddy, but all in all it just wasn't going to work out. There's nothing wrong with the blade itself, but the sheath is bad enough to knock off two stars. The fit to the blade is horrible. There's no click in and if you insert it too far the blade becomes wedged in and needs a serious hard tug to free it. I tried loosening the pocket clip but that had no effect. I bought this for a fixed blade edc, but the sheath issue negates that completely. Also, I know that this is an inexpensive blade, but the lanyard was chincy and sad. I've had nicer shoe laces.
