Oregon-based workshop Grovemade just released an incredibly simple all-metal knife. A modern take on the Japanese higonokami, this friction folder pocketknife features a single-piece handle, machined from a solid piece of metal (either aluminum or brass). Its 2.8-inch blade is hand-sharpened from a piece of 440C stainless steel. The Minimalist Knife ranges in price from $99 for unfinished aluminum to $109 for aluminum with a Cerakote finish and up to $119 for brass. If simplicity and functionality are your jam, this is the knife for you.
