Overview
Designed by David C. Andersen
The Maximal is a highly adaptable pocket knife that I can recommend to anyone!
The name reflects its ability to perform for the widest number of people as possible. It carries small in your pocket but has the ability to "cut big" when you need it to. Paired with a versatile blade shape that will work for anything, this makes the Maximal a knife that you will feel confident carrying no matter what.
Whether you are a cutlery aficionado or you are buying your first ever pocket knife, the Maximal has features that will appeal to you. These include:
- A Drop Point blade that is razor sharp, slices great, and is tough enough for hard jobs.- A strong Crossbar Lock, providing security, ambidextrous use, and finger-safe closing operation.- A Deep Carry Pocket Clip, keeping the knife tucked quietly away and handy for both left and right handed users.- Strong Action which is both satisfying to experience and helps prevent accidental opening.- An Affordable Price Tag ensuring folks at any budget can have a stellar knife.
With all of the things I needed the Maximal to be, I knew CJRB was the perfect partner to build this knife. They possess the technical chops, the right materials, and the ability to combine them into a knife that feels premium without the premium price tag. I couldn't be happier with the way this project has turned out!
