MINI FIREWATER KNIFE

Mini Firewater — Small Frame, Serious Work

The Mini Firewater Knife was designed to deliver full working capability in a compact, easy-to-carry format. Building on Paul Lackey’s original Firewater concept, this scaled-down version preserves the spirit of the original while refining it for lighter carry and everyday versatility.

Despite its size, the Mini Firewater is a true workhorse. Its full-tang construction and sweeping Scandi-style edge make it exceptionally effective for precision tasks such as feather sticks, notches, tinder shaving, and fine camp preparation. At the same time, it transitions effortlessly into everyday utility—handling quick cuts on the trail, at camp, or around the house.

The ergonomic, compact handle is shaped to lock securely into the hand, providing confident control when working close to the edge. For users who value efficiency, control, and portability, the Mini Firewater proves that serious performance doesn’t require a large blade.
