Alliance Designs Mini Slim Pickins (Micarta)

The Mini Slim Pickins is the second in-house design to come from Alliance Designs. When we first set out to create the original Slim Pickins in 2018, our goal was to build a beautiful, well-made and functional folding knife that was also satisfying to fidget with. 

We believe that this latest reiteration still checks all those boxes, with an added dash of innovation. This bolstered version of the Mini is paired with 2 handsomely contoured scales of OD Green Micarta, solid Bronze Pivot Collars and a brand new auxiliary detent which holds the blade in the closed position even while the buttonlock is depressed. This not only improves the action, but also reduces the chance of accidental deployment. 

The blade still features a deep hollow grind, but this time we went with ELMAX for its impressive durability, high compressive strength, and superior corrosion resistance.

Blade steel: ELMAX
Blade length: 2.9 in
