For a small knife, the Mini Pal™ delivers heavyweight performance! It has an edge that zips through a host of materials at unbelievable speed. And, since the one inch long blade is razor sharp, it will open delicate packages and envelopes, cut rope or punch through heavy cartons with ease. Also, the Kray-Ex™ handle totally encapsulates the tang and part of the shaft, for increased comfort and improved control.
