INAUGURAL ALUMINUM COLLAB
An elegant and functional design trimmed down to 70% original size: Introducing the Keen Mini by Ray Laconico.

This 6.71-inch aluminum liner lock is minimalist perfection with a practical size to carry daily. Featuring a smooth, slightly curved aluminum handle and a satin or stonewashed-finished spear-point blade, the Keen Mini is a work of art—but it’s robust enough to perform strenuous tasks if you need it to. The full flat–ground 14C28N steel blade measures 2.88 inches. It's easy to control for slicing, and the spear-point tip provides exceptional piercing power. Deployment is smooth thanks to the caged ceramic-bearing system and subtle flipper tab. Along with the profile reduction, we also shrunk the price: landing a Laconico Keen into your pocket for under 60 bones.

What’s more, the Kaviso x Keen Mini Liner lock comes in six variations and even a Titanium Frame Lock version. Of course, if size is an issue, the original Keen is always a fan-favorite.

DRAWING BOARD POLL RESULTS
The final form of our Kaviso x Laconico Keen Mini Liner Lock lineup was born entirely from our community polls on the Drawing Board. Based on your feedback, we landed on 14C28N blade steel offered in both Satin and Stonewash finishes along with blue, green, and black aluminum handles. Signature R. Laconico branding appears on the spine of the blade.

SIDE BY SIDE
The Keen Mini is a master of everyday carry with a feather light weight of just 2.85 ounces (compared to 4.4 ounces on the original Keen). Weight savings are achieved by insetting the liners of the handle and trimming the blade stock to create harmony with the new shorter blade and handle length. Overall length of the Keen Mini is 6.71 inches featuring a practical blade length of 2.88 inches – the first Keen model in the sub-3 inch blade category. Keen Mini Liner lock is manufactured by QSP Knives, and includes Kaviso signature branded drawer box and bandaids for the first bite.
ABOUT RAY LACONICO
Ever since seeing the movie First Blood when he was a kid, California–based knifemaker Ray Laconico was fascinated by blades. As he grew older, Ray started collecting them, until his hobby got out of control—to a point where he needed to try his hand at making one. That opportunity came under the guidance of Bob Engnath, who sold Ray blade blanks and parts to experiment with. Once he got the hang of things, there was no turning back. Since officially taking up knifemaking in the ‘90s, Laconico has become known for a simple, clean, and functional style that shows through in each of his designs. He currently operates out of his garage workshop in Visalia, California.

Sweet little blade

This is a very nice budget version of the Keen Mini. This is one of the sharpest knives out-of-the-box I've ever bought, nice job, OEM! Good one, Kaviso, I might spring for the frame lock version if you mark it down!

Outstanding Value

I've owned Laconico knives made by the man, himself. He's a terrific guy. This Keen Mini is totally consistent with his work at an insanely low price. I very highly recommend this knife. Thank you.

Great knife!

Very high quality for the price. Lots of little details you wouldn’t normally see on knives under $100. Super clean with almost no badging, too. Being the smaller of the two sizes, it still felt fully functional and not too small at all. I bought both the green and blue versions, and they are even better looking than in the photos.
Overall highly recommended.

Couldn't Ask for Better

Gorgeous knife, silky feel to the scales, but not in a way that makes you worry about the grasp. Nice, solid action with a chunky thunk when the blade fully clicks open. REALLY happy that I tried out Kaviso, as this was a new brand to me!

Very Minimal Ray Laconico Winner

I am enjoying the knife. Great size for a smaller knife. Contoured aluminum scales, snappy flipper. I did disassemble, clean and lubed with KPL. This knife is very minimal, which is a good thing for me. Came sharp with a nice even bevel. I would like to see the blade stock be a little thinner, but it’s not a thick knife. The pivot holds well and the blade is nicely centered. Quite fidgety. You can light switch flip with the pad of your finger or get on top of it more with the nail/tip. You can also push button and it fires out.
