SPECIAL NOTE
When other knife companies make a mini, or downsized version of one of their knife
models, not only do they reduce the overall size of the knife, but they reduce
the thickness of the blade also. This results in a much weaker knife. Emerson
mini's are left at the same full thickness as the parent knife. We will never
sacrifice strength for convenience. You may choose to use your mini just to
open your mail, but you can still drive it through the hood of a car if you ever
need to.
