Precision is power. Knifemaker Alan Folts introduces the Minimalist® Katana, a design that’s just as much about control as it is capability. Following in the footsteps of the original Minimalist® with a slightly larger blade, you can still revel in its lightweight, portable composition for on-the-road versatility. Grabbing hold of the three finger grip handle, you’ll know right away—this is a Minimalist® through and through.

The sidekick that springs into action. This Lucas Burnley everyday carry knife gleams strength and durability at the heart of its design. Complete with Assisted Opening, the knife’s flipper deploys the blade fast, teaming with the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot for added smoothness. Never worry about who’s got your back again.

Squid™ Assisted

It’s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid™ to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry, the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality. Now, Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design, bringing us the larger SQUID™ XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry, the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small—and is now recognized as a bit more “extra medium” in size.

Singularly built for anything that needs to be cut. The Minimalist™ line is a series of compact, fixed-blade knives designed to handle a variety of tasks. They feel equally at home in the woods or around the house. This version features a drop point blade with 154CM steel for superior edge retention, as well as a black micarta which, along with the included stitched leather sheath, gives it a refined appearance over the standard model.

Minimalist® Drop Point

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® Zap morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Now built with Grivory®—a strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplastic—it’s more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.

Refined, reinforced, and ready for anything. Melding the usability of an everyday carry with the strength and polish of a high-end custom design, the Italian-made Squid™ II Black is a bold reimagining of the classic Squid™ folding knife. It’s both beautiful and practical, with a black G10 handle for a stealthy, understated look. The Squid™ II is made to feel just as at home in your pocket as it does on display with the rest of your collection.

Squid™ II Liner Lock

Refined and every bit as rugged. This upgraded version of the Pilar® III adds a bit of flair to an otherwise understated design. The blade is now coated black and made from 12C27 steel for improved edge retention, while the G10 handle features a new hammered texture for even better all-weather grip. Otherwise, it’s the same hard-workings folder the Pilar® III has always been.

Pilar® III Frame Lock

Specifically built for anything that needs to be cut. This compact, fixed blade knife features a versatile, stonewashed spear point. Measuring just 5.2 inches total and weighing 2.1 ounces, this knife stays true to its name, giving you a take-anywhere minimalist knife that’s ready for anything.

Minimalist® Spear Point

Power in your pocket. The Provoke® Compact is a classic reimagined, redesigned to be an ultra portable everyday carry. Wielding power in compact size, its sturdy aluminum handle adds to its superbly lightweight design, doubling in purpose as the perfect self-defense carry. Featuring Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit, and comes to life when called to duty.

Provoke® Compact Aluminum 

A time-honored design built for today. Honoring an iconic 17th century Persian blade, the Minimalist® Persian features a long curvature design with minimalist grip for absolute precision and control. Put to use outdoors or for fine detailing, this fixed blade knife wields the impressive rigor of a scalpel—gliding and cutting wherever you decide it lands.

The Provoke® Trainer is a unique version of our morphing karambit designed to give you an edge where no innovation or specialized material can: practice. With its unsharpened blade, the Trainer lets you familiarize yourself with a karambit with reduced risk, perfect for first responders who need to know their tools like the back of their hands before going into high-pressure situations. Otherwise, the Trainer is every bit a Provoke®, with the same innovative Kinematic® technology to keep the blade neatly and safely tucked away until needed.

Provoke® Trainer

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® is a super compact everyday carry folder with distinctive minimalist design and an epic tale behind its name. It’s low profile and understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.
