HOW DID WE DO?

Feel free to yell at us about stuff.

A FAN FAVORITE, REDUCED
An elegant and functional design trimmed down to 70% original size: Introducing the Keen Mini by Ray Laconico.

This 6.71-inch titanium frame lock is a master class of minimalism with robust components to get the job done. The Keen Mini Frame Lock Features a smooth, slightly curved titanium handle and a satin or stonewashed-finished spear-point blade. The full flat–ground S35VN steel blade measures 2.88 inches. It's easy to control for slicing, and the spear-point tip provides exceptional piercing power. Deployment is smooth thanks to the caged ceramic-bearing system and subtle flipper tab.

What’s more, the frame lock comes in six variations and even an Aluminum Liner Lock version. Of course, if size is an issue, the original Keen is always a fan-favorite.

ABOUT RAY LACONICO
Ever since seeing the movie First Blood when he was a kid, California–based knifemaker Ray Laconico was fascinated by blades. As he grew older, Ray started collecting them, until his hobby got out of control—to a point where he needed to try his hand at making one. That opportunity came under the guidance of Bob Engnath, who sold Ray blade blanks and parts to experiment with. Once he got the hang of things, there was no turning back. Since officially taking up knifemaking in the ‘90s, Laconico has become known for a simple, clean, and functional style that shows through in each of his designs. He currently operates out of his garage workshop in Visalia, California.
