Koenig Knives Mini Arius Flipper Knife 3" M390 Burnished Two-Tone Blade, Pattern Milled Titanium Handles, Frame Lock
The Mini Arius, born from the legendary Arius design by the talented duo of TJ Schwarz and Bill Koenig, is a heavy-duty yet nimble mid-sized flipper. It serves as the ultimate sidekick for your everyday carry adventures, encapsulating everything you seek in a knife within its compact 3" blade and 4.25" closed package. Featuring a full titanium frame lock, it's not only as tough as nails but also easy to manipulate and disengage. The ergonomics are precisely what you'd expect – spot on.
Originally produced by Millit Knives, the Mini Arius is now exclusively handcrafted in-house by Bill, showcasing his unwavering commitment to artisanal quality. Packed with features, the knife boasts a smooth flipping action facilitated by ceramic bearings. The generously sized flipper tab functions both as a practical element and a secure finger guard when the blade is deployed. For discreet openings, the thumb slot provides a silent alternative. The blade itself showcases a well-designed thumb ramp, expertly ground swedge, and drop-dead centering within the machined titanium handle. Internal lightening pockets contribute to weight reduction without compromising structural integrity.
The Mini Arius demonstrates next-level attention to detail throughout its entire design. The milled backspacer includes an integrated lanyard slot, while the pocket clip aligns seamlessly with the lockbar relief cutout. The D-shaped female pivot prevents rotational issues during adjustments, and the jimped lockbar ensures a secure grip. Its compact size strikes a perfect balance between functionality and discretion, making it the ideal companion for daily carry.
