Cold Steel Leatherneck Mini 3.5" Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath - 8Cr13MoV Steel, Black Kray-Ex Handle

The Cold Steel Leatherneck Mini 3.5" fixed blade knife is a compact, purpose-built carry blade that proves serious capability doesn't require a serious size. Built around a clip-point blade ground from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, this fixed blade delivers practical edge geometry in a package that fits deep into a pocket or tucks tight to your belt. It's the kind of knife that sits on your person without complaint and performs when it matters—perfect for hunters, campers, outdoor workers, and anyone who wants a dependable knife they'll actually carry every day.

The design philosophy is borrowed directly from Cold Steel's larger Leatherneck line: a stainless steel guard with broad quillons keeps your fingers safe during hard use, while the Kray-Ex handle—a proven synthetic material used across Cold Steel's lineup—gives you a secure, weather-resistant grip that works in wet conditions. At just 3.3 ounces and 6¾" overall, the Mini Leatherneck rides light without feeling fragile. The 3mm blade stock strikes a balance between edge-holding and ease of sharpening, giving you a practical tool for field dressing, camp chores, and general-purpose cutting tasks.

Every knife ships with a Secure-Ex sheath that's built to last. The sheath supports both bead lanyard and Cold Steel C-Clip carry options, so you can configure it for your rig—whether that's a backpack, belt, or chest rig. This is a no-nonsense fixed blade that earns its place in your outdoor kit without any of the bulk or attitude.
