Cudeman Mikra: Cutting excellence in an ultra-compact format
For everyday use, the best tool is one you can always carry with you without it being a burden. The Cudeman Mikra (335-R) was designed with this in mind, offering surprising cutting ability in a piece that barely reaches 45 grams. Made entirely in Albacete, this model is the definitive solution for those seeking a discreet, extremely lightweight knife with the mechanical security of a larger piece.
Why this knife is right for you
- Absolute portability: At only 15 cm long, it disappears in your pocket, making it ideal as an everyday carry (EDC) tool.
- Guaranteed security: Unlike other knives of its size, it incorporates a back-lock system that firmly secures the blade during use.
- Surgical precision: Its clip-point tip and 2.0 mm blade allow for meticulous cuts with good control.
- Lightness without compromise: Its 45 grams make it one of the lightest pieces in our catalog without compromising its structural solidity.
Steel and edge performance
The Mikra's blade is made of molybdenum vanadium steel, an alloy known for its great toughness and resistance to environmental corrosion. With a hardness of 54/56 HRc, this steel offers a masterful balance for everyday use: it maintains a functional edge for a long time and, above all, allows for extremely easy resharpening. It is the perfect choice for those who need a tool that is always ready with minimal maintenance.
Construction and resistance
Despite its contained dimensions, the structure of the Mikra is surprisingly robust. The handle is anchored with brass liners, ensuring a solid union between the scales and the chassis. The satin finish of the blade not only gives it a professional aesthetic but also helps protect the surface from signs of wear. It is a precision tool designed to last, although due to its 2.0 mm thickness, any lateral prying effort should be avoided.
Handle and control in real conditions
The handle is made of satin red stamina, a highly durable composite material that offers the visual warmth of wood with superior resistance. Its 8.5 cm length has been ergonomically contoured to allow for a firm grip, ensuring absolute control over the tip. The satin finish of the stamina provides a soft and pleasant feel, preventing the knife from becoming uncomfortable after repetitive use.
Sheath and portability
Such a subtle piece can be carried perfectly in your pocket, but if you decide to carry it on your belt, we offer two options:
- 335-R: Knife without sheath
- 335-RF: Knife with self-made brown sheath (sheath 635-C)
Use scenarios
- Everyday utility (EDC): Perfect for opening mail, packages, or making auxiliary cuts in the office or home.
- Precision cutting: Its tip is ideal for meticulous tasks in modeling, crafts, or cleaning small tools.
- Collecting: A piece that represents Albacete's mastery in creating functional tools in reduced formats.
Care and maintenance
- To preserve the integrity of the red stamina, it is recommended to store the piece in a dry place and never wet it under the tap.
- After each use, clean the blade with a soft cloth to remove moisture or dirt residues, keeping the satin finish impeccable.
- Periodically apply a drop of light oil to the pivot and the back-lock mechanism to ensure that deployment is always smooth and crisp.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat sources to prevent any alteration in the tone or structure of the handle material.
The Cudeman Mikra (335-R) is proof that a good cutting edge has nothing to do with size, but with the quality of the steel, the fit, and the materials; a small tool that will accompany you for life.
