Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
looks like it might need a little tweaking still, but i'm looking forward to this one. i like it better than the lil native wharncliffe, from the looks of it, but i need to see more.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I agree, it looks like a must have. Unfortunately, I am at four must haves, and counting.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I am excited.
Does anyone have a clue on the weight and blade thickness ?

Wow, I’m unexpectedly much into it than I thought I would be.
rex121 is the king of steel, but nature’s teeth have been cutting for hundreds of millions of years and counting :cool:

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
Prototype looks good. I feel like if you slap some blue scales on it that it would look more similar to the original Yojimbo than to the Yo2.
Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
with the shorter grip area, this could be a great candidate for a 5x5 talisman exo-tool ring and a pickpocket. i wonder if they'll be making those for this model.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
The full thickness FFG is what I've been wishing for ever since the Yojimbo 2 came out. This would make a great tactical box knife lol.
All SE all the time since 2017

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
Looks like EDC perfection achieved!
Hopefully it'll be available in DLC.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I'm feeling an unexpected attraction to the MicroJim. I liked the Yo1, but passed on Yo2 and on YoJumbo. But the MicroJim? Will be difficult to say no.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I love this thing, but dang, that opening hole looks HUGE!

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I prefer that though. It's one of the things I prefer in Salts vs Delicas/Enduras, for example.
Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
I think I'm actually just as interested in having the smallest opening hole which is still usable.
I don't really stick the tip of my thumb in the hole, I push the top of the hole with the tip of my thumb.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
Fair enough. I don't see larger as a disadvantage though. I don't really use gloves often, but that can be a concern also.

Here’s a new video from Knifecenter with Eric presenting the Microjimbo at Shotshow 2023. The Microjimbo is revealed at 9:51 in the video. Just thought I’d share.

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?
Thank you so much for pointing this out, I never would have caught it otherwise. I love the deep carry wire clip, flat grind, and compact size.p_atrick wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:41 amThis makes an appearance in the latest Knife Center video from Shot Show.

I'll definitely be buying one of these (and if it fits my hand, a spare).
