Alan Folts is a knifemaker and metalworker in Greenville, N.C., who makes a remarkable range of custom objects, including titanium chopsticks. His Minimalist® neck knives have proven to be very popular, so we are now offering three CRKT production versions.

The CRKT Minimalist Tanto neck knife, designed by renowned custom knife maker Alan Folts, is a very small and lightweight knife which gives surprising comfort and control, thanks to the unusual geometry of the full-tang blade, aided by three finger choils, friction grooves for the thumb, hand-contoured green-black Micarta scales, and a braided fob. Unlike many small neck knives, this handle is really functional for a wide variety of daily cutting tasks.

Each Minimalist comes with a custom-fitted Zytel® sheath and neck paracord for inverted carry as a neck knife. The knife is held securely in place by a positive detent which locks the base of the blade in place for maximum safety. Because the knife and sheath weigh about two ounces together, it is an EDC personal carry knife you will barely notice.

Minimalist® Tanto. The 2.125" Tanto blade shape is very strong because of the strong central spine of metal which extends nearly to the tip. This version has a straight Razor-Sharp front edge, which allows push cutting, and a concave main edge which feeds material into the edge for fast cutting.

True to their name, these really are minimal fixed blades, but they are also the most useful for their size that we have seen. And they are certainly a great value, which explains why the Minimalist family continues to grow.

Optional C-Clip Converts Neck Sheath to a Belt Sheath: Expand your carry options with a C-Clip belt adapter which will enable you to also carry your Knife on your belt! The belt adapter includes mounting slots that facilitate wearing your knife vertically, upside down, or even in a forward or backward slant! All the essential hardware (screws and rubber washers) is included. Plus, it can be attached to either side of your sheath so, if desired, you can even wear your knife inside your waistband! Fits up to 1 3/4 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick; belts, straps, molle, etc. If you want to add the optional C-Clip to your order, please select the option when adding the knife to your cart.
