The Amtac Blades Minuteman is a mid-sized fixed blade knife for belt or pocket carry. It has larger handle than the Amtac Blades Northman but a more compact blade than the Amtac Blades Magnus for better concealment. The larger handle allows for better speed and consistency on your draw, with a shorter blade.
The Stonewashed Minuteman II
The Stonewashed Minuteman II with full flat grind uses Magnacut steel which is significantly tougher than M390, is slightly better at corrosion resistance, and only sacrifices a small amount of edge retention as compared to M390. The Minuteman II is slightly narrower than our regular Minuteman blade, the width is decreased by 1/8th of an inch.
The Stonewashed Magnacut Minuteman II features a 4-inch full flat ground blade with a swedge. This blade geometry allows for great thrusting ability and strength. The 1.3 inches of spine directly forward of the handle has a semi-sharp 90° angle to facilitate better striking of a ferro rod and other backcountry tasks. The handle of the
Minuteman is 3 3/4 inches long. The Stonewashed Minuteman II with full flat grind comes standard with a low profile belt sheath, aluminum training blade, and storage sheath.
