I’ve bought a few knives over the years and most of them end up sitting in a drawer. The Whidbey Mini is the first one I’ve actually kept in my pocket.
It opens really easily with one hand, and the PushFold close just feels safer than the liner locks I’m used to. I don’t feel like I’m playing finger gymnastics trying to close it.
It’s lightweight and the pocket clip sits low, so it doesn’t stick out or feel bulky. I’ve used it for opening boxes, cutting cord, random stuff around the yard, nothing crazy, just everyday things. The D2 blade feels solid and sharp.
It’s not flashy or tactical-looking. It’s just a really well-designed knife that makes sense for daily use. That’s honestly what I like most about it.
