KA Jiblet Junior - Short Blade

The smaller offspring to the Jiblet, the Junior here is purpose built as small concealable neck knife. Still carrying that prominant drop belly aesthetic, this time in a upswept design, the Junior is a capable little hideout piece. With an overal length of 3 5/16", the Jr. still has 1.5" of actual cutting edge produced by a nice thin hollow grind. In all honesty, most EDC cutting chores are performed with the front 1.5" of a knife anyway. The all important "just the tip" phenomenon. Ok, this could be heading the wrong direction quickly. Let's just say Junior is all Tip and gets the job done! (no that doesn't sound better). You know what we mean.

Built in a "skeletonized" form without scales...instead choosing to hand grind the sculpted pattern you see into the knife in its entirety. Not only does this give a unique and organic appearance much like old stone flint knapped tools, but it also does a great job of reducing the weight while providing some extra grip in thick stock like this. The addition of the "gutted" para cord wrap on the end adds some additional intererst and gripping surface.
