CRKT Folts Minimalist Cleaver – Green/Black Resin Fiber – 2383
The CRKT Minimalist Cleaver (2383) is a compact, high-utility neck knife that brings the efficiency of a butcher's cleaver to your everyday carry. Designed by Alan Folts, this 2026 favorite is part of a legendary series known for providing maximum control in a minimal footprint. The 2.13-inch cleaver-style blade is crafted from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel with a non-reflective bead-blast finish. While its appearance is a conversation starter, the design is purely functional—the broad blade and straight edge provide excellent leverage for dicing, slicing, and utility tasks, while the blunted "false front" edge adds a layer of safety during heavy use.
The handle is the standout feature of the Minimalist line, constructed from green and black polished resin-infused fiber. It features deep, ergonomic finger choils that lock your hand into a secure, three-finger grip, making the knife feel much larger and more capable than its 5-inch overall length suggests. The 2383 comes with a versatile polypropylene sheath and an included neck cord, though it can also be attached to a belt or tactical gear. Weighing a mere 1.7 ounces, this "svelte dynamo" is designed to be forgotten until the moment it’s needed, whether you're in the camp kitchen or the garage.
Includes: (1) CRKT Minimalist Cleaver Knife, Molded Sheath, Neck Cord, and Fob/Lanyard.
