The Bourbon Blade MINI: EDC Pocket Chisel

The Bourbon Blade Mini is the world’s SECOND folding chisel knife with a flat back, designed to revolutionize your everyday carry. 

The original Bourbon Blade was created through collaboration with Jason Hibbs of Bourbon Moth, Jonathan Katz-Moses, and renowned Danish knife maker Mikkel Wilumsen. Together, they produced this one of a kind tool. 

There’s just one problem—size matters. But bigger isn’t always better. Enter the Bourbon Blade Mini.

This little brother to the Bourbon Blade still combines the precision of a chisel with the versatility of a knife, but in a more compact form that you can take almost anywhere. 

The new 2.9” blade can handle everyday tasks like opening boxes and scraping glue, but it’s also perfect for detailed woodworking tasks like marking lines, chamfering edges, and mortising out hinges.

Other design updates include a more flexible pocket clip, and a solid spine on the hammer strike that doubles as a burnisher. 

Unmatched Features

• Perfect size for EDC: With a 2.9” blade and a total length of 7.5”, you can take this bad boy more places without worry (original Bourbon Blade has a total length of 8.375”)

• High-quality materials: Made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with G10 handles for durability and rust resistance

• Safety and convenience: Features one of the industries strongest safety mechanisms, the crossbar lock. This is many times stronger than a traditional liner lock which can fail when experiencing shock loads from a mallet.

• Ambidextrous: Available in BOTH left-handed and right-handed versions.

• Updated clip design: The new spring steel clip holds your knife securely, but still flexible enough to fetch in an instant. Clip can be reversed to suit your preferences. 

• Mallet striker: Includes a hardened steel liner in the back for hitting with a mallet, closing paint cans, and even opening your beer. Full-width steel barrel pins ensure any shock load is transferred directly to the blade and not your hand or the body of the chisel

• Built-in burnisher: The back of the hammer strike plate doubles as a burnisher, great for closing up miters or sharpening card scrapers. 

Experience the perfect blend of precision and versatility with the Bourbon Blade. Exclusively designed for woodworkers and makers, this tool is a game-changer in the workshop.

Jonathan’s Hot Take:

I LOVE the original Bourbon Blade. Jason, Mikkel, and I worked our asses off to get this one right. But sometimes, smaller can absolutely be smarter. The Bourbon Blade Mini keeps all the precision, toughness, and versatility of the original, but in a pocket-friendly size that’s much easier to wield in some scenarios.

A few other updates I really love about the Mini—the spine of the hammer strike now doubles as a burnisher, so I’m using it twice as much to close up miter gaps or sharpen my card scrapers. And because I’m reaching for it so much, the new flexible clip is really nice. 

Give lil’ bro the credit he deserves. Get yourself the Bourbon Blade Mini.
