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.

I agree, it looks like a must have. Unfortunately, I am at four must haves, and counting.

Does anyone have a clue on the weight and blade thickness ?

Wow, I’m unexpectedly much into it than I thought I would be.

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.

Both are looking interesting, I'm eager to know about their respective specs & prices.

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.

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.

Looks like EDC perfection achieved!

Hopefully it'll be available in DLC.

That would be righteous, I always liked Yo > Yo2

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.

I prefer that though. It's one of the things I prefer in Salts vs Delicas/Enduras, for example.

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.

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.

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.

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