BRS E-Volve Minuteman Titanium Folding Knife

The BRS E-Volve Minuteman is futuristic in appearance and traditional in operation. The materials are top notch: Made with an S35VN stainless steel blade and a titanium handle, the knife is built for hard use. But unlike many titanium frame locks these days, this one opens the old fashioned way, which, in this case, works to its advantage. The lack of a flipper tab keeps the profile of the knife nice and slim and adds to the sleek, angular build. And thanks to the bearing-driven pivot system, it opens with little effort. Blacked out from head to toe, the Minuteman is nonreflective to keep a low profile. The modified wharncliffe blade is excellent at piercing and slicing. Feel free to switch the titanium clip to the other side for left-handed carry. For this drop, we’re throwing in some cool extras, like a Massdrop-exclusive skull challenge coin, a cleaning cloth, a carrying case, and some sweet stickers.

Developed by Crucible Industries (one of the leading manufacturers of specialty steels for the cutlery industry) and Chris Reeve (arguably the most famous knifemaker in the world), S35VN is perhaps the most balanced blade steel ever created in terms of all-around performance. It’s made through a process of powdered metallurgy (CPM), which results in near perfect consistency in the distribution of carbides. Compared to conventional melting practices, the CPM process produces a steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness.
