Designed by personal-defense expert Michael Janich, the MicroJimbo™ concentrates all the key performance qualities of his iconic Yojimbo™ 2 into a smaller, more legally compliant package. This elite expression of the MicroJimbo supercharges the design for use in and around the water with state-of-the-art, ultra-corrosion-resistant materials. Its full-flat-ground, Wharncliffe blade is precision machined from CPM® MagnaCut® to offer a superior combination of toughness, edge retention, and extreme corrosion resistance. The blade is housed in a handle featuring nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and black G-10 scales. The liners form the heart of the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism, while the peel-ply-textured scales are painstakingly machined with our Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for an ultra-secure grip. Optimized for tactical applications, the entire knife features a non-reflective, all-black theme. Its blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating and its liners, reversible deep-pocket wire clip, and all other hardware also boast low-profile black coatings.
