Grovemade has brought a sense of refinement to our work place, sound system, and other useful gear. Now the brand is doing the same for our EDC with the introduction of the Minimalist Knife, a pocket folder with clean lines and a simple design. Inspired by the iconic Higonokami knife of Japan, the Minimalist Knife is held closed by friction and open when you place your thumb on the tang. It’s a simple mechanism that has been trusted for centuries, only now it’s available in a contemporary package. Designed to be lightweight, this knife is comfortable in the hand and satisfying to use, as the elegant body feels feather-like when you’re slicing through packages. The Minimalist Knife is machined from a solid block of metal right here in the USA, and it’s available in Aluminum, Black (aluminum with a cerakote finish), and Brass. It’s the pocket knife for the guy who prefers being a city slicker to a cabin-hopping nomad.
