tinyBLADE

Everyday-carry knives tend to trade size for capability. tinyBLADE, a Kickstarter project, aims to shrink the format down to something that can hang on a key ring while still functioning as a tactical knife, according to the maker.

M390 steel at a small scale

The blade is made from M390, a premium knife steel the maker highlights for its durability and wear resistance. The campaign says this choice is intended to deliver a sharp edge that lasts, reducing how often the blade needs maintenance in daily use.

Built to be carried

The maker describes tinyBLADE as compact enough to attach to keys, with a design meant to stay out of the way in a bag or pocket while remaining quick to reach when needed.

• Blade steel: M390, per the maker
• Carry: small enough to attach to a key ring, according to the maker
• Intended uses: everyday tasks through outdoor use, including precise close-up work

Despite its size, the campaign positions tinyBLADE as a genuine tactical knife suited to a range of situations, from routine cutting to fine detail work where accuracy matters.
