The MicroJimbo™ encapsulates all the essential features of Michael Janich's innovative Yojimbo™ 2 design in a more compact and legally compliant format, while maintaining the critical dimensional relationships. The outcome is an ultra-compact "tactical Wharncliffe" folding knife that deploys just like its full-sized counterpart, while perfectly accommodating smaller hands and pockets.
This elite version of the MicroJimbo further enhances the design with a blade crafted from proprietary CPM SPY27 stainless steel. This improved, powder-metallurgy variant of traditional VG-10 stainless steel incorporates an advanced alloy formula featuring vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, and nitrogen, all amplified by the steel's hallmark element—cobalt. Together, these components create a blade steel that strikes an impressive balance between edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The MicroJimbo's full-flat-ground Wharncliffe blade fully exploits these properties, providing cutting performance that exceeds expectations for its compact size. It is complemented by a handle that features nested, skeletonised stainless steel liners, cobalt blue peel-ply-textured G-10 scales, and a robust Compression Lock® mechanism.
The MicroJimbo comes equipped with a reversible wire clip that accommodates left- or right-side tip-up carry.
