Built around a substantial wood and aluminum handle construction that gives the Crooked River its signature look and feel, the Mini delivers the same iconic design DNA in a lighter, more pocketable package for daily carry. The clip-point blade geometry handles the everyday cutting tasks of EDC and field use with the same confidence as the full-size, while Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock and reversible split-arrow clip round out the modern technology that makes the Crooked River family as functional as it is good-looking. At 3.29 ounces with a slim 0.52\" handle profile, the Mini rides lighter on the belt or in the pocket without sacrificing the classic Crooked River character.
