The Gift That Keeps on Slicing

7 Forge's Minimalist lives up to its name—no extras, no gimmicks, just a 3.75" MagnaCut blade in a sub-3-ounce package that works. Natural canvas Micarta scales ride on flared stainless tubes, giving this Iowa-made fixed blade a classic look that pairs nicely with the blasted blade finish. Black leather sheath comes standard.

Blade stock measures a lean 0.093", which combined with the full flat grind creates a slicer that glides through material rather than pushing it aside. Upgrading to MagnaCut means you get corrosion resistance that laughs at wet conditions and toughness that lets thin edges survive impacts that would chip lesser steels. Tim Ogg and Forged in Fire winner Jessie Wipperman designed the Minimalist for people who actually use their knives daily—the 4" handle fills your grip while 2.93 oz keeps your belt from sagging.
