Radically Simple
Inspired by the classic Japanese Higonokami, the minimalist knife has crisp lines and refined angles. The gracefully curved blade nestles flush in the handle with no wasted space. The Grovemade Minimalist Knife is held closed by friction and held open by placing one’s thumb on the end of the tang. It’s a simple, classic mechanism.

The brass body provides a satisfying heft. The raw machined marks are clearly visible, hallmarks of the unique manufacturing process.

Made the Hard Way
The minimalist knife is constructed using a unique monobody, custom machined from a solid block of metal. We eschewed the standard sandwich method of knife construction, choosing instead to pursue our radical build design. It’s much harder to manufacture a knife this way—but the result is wonderfully clean and simple.
