CRKT Minimalist Bowie Gears — a compact, all-metal knife designed for urban and recreational use, crafted by knife designer Alan Folts. This knife comes with a plastic sheath that can easily be attached to a belt or a MOLLE system.

The blade is made from 8Cr14MoV steel, which is nearly rust-proof and sharpens quickly. It's a pretty solid choice for everyday carry knives; it doesn't offer any superhuman performance, but given its price, it has commendable features. It stands up well against corrosion, boasts good wear and cutting resistance, yet it isn't as durable as pricier alloys.

The handle is constructed from G-10 — a composite material comprising fiberglass and epoxy resin. It's incredibly durable, moisture resistant, and impact-proof. It also has excellent machinability and dyeability. It’s widely used in all modern knives.
