These kinds of minimalist knives interest me. in looking for some info on the CKRT "Stiff Kiss.", I ran across this product announcement http://www.crkt.com/or-show-2015 .

More variations on the theme of "bare bones" blades. The "bivy" multitool looks intriguing - locking tools and interesting pliers, but it is rather heavy at nearly 8 ounces.

It is nice to have options.....
