A small fixed blade knife makes a great survival knife. Why you ask? If you don't have a knife with you when a survival situation pops up by surprise (they always do) then what good does that big survival knife laying on your bench in your garage do for you?
The new Minimalists are small fixed blades that are easy to carry at all times. Using the lanyard you can carry them around your neck unobtrusively or with the belt attachment you can wear them on your side. Either way the new Minimalists will be there when you need it!
