Join me as I unbox and compare the long awaited Koenig Mini Arius to the full size Arius. I share some initial impressions and suffice to say I really dig it! ------------------------- ------------------------- #edc #knifenerd #everydaycarry #knives #everydaycarryknife #cnc #america #madeinamerica #knife

My full sized arius is the perfect size for my 2xl size hands. I would love to add a mini to the collection, but it be easy too small and won’t get any pocket time unless I’m dressed up for a night out, which is rare. My normal edc is either an smf, zaan, 229, etc. I try not to go any smaller than 3.5” blade. 3.25 at the very minimum for dress carry. My mcnees Mac 2 3.5 is right on the line of being too small. If it didn’t have a choke up area, it wouldn’t have had enough handle room for me.

Yea I think even XL size hands would have difficulty with the mini arius. Probably best to steer clear with those 2xl mits of yours! That said it’s easily my favorite mid-tech knife hands down. Still have my full size though!

It really is the perfect size. Though I think larger hands may prefer the full size Arius.

I’m loving the mini. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and it’s definitely my most carried knife in that time

Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours! I’m looking forward to carrying mine now that I have it. Definitely won’t be leaving the pocket for a while. Size really send perfect for my taste!

Awesome video Bryan! I loved the mini that I handled. I would opt for a flipper delete (not currently an option unfortunately) but in that config it might be the perfect EDC 🎉
@Gluten-FreeEDC Жыл бұрын
I’d have to agree with ya there. I had a flipper delete arius and really liked it. It’d be awesome to get a 55 stylized mini and do a flipper delete.

Love my full size however it can be a bit big at times so completely see why this one would be so good! Im an XL hand and a lefty so probably not for me sadly but man looks amazing! Your gluten sensitive viewer Torey
@Gluten-FreeEDC Жыл бұрын
Hahaha funny seeing others in the community don’t do gluten. But yea man I would guess with an XL glove size your hands are too big for the mini. But I could be wrong but it’s definitely a small knife.y small hands make the knife seem huge I know 😂

@@toreycasey1214 yea and the lockbar on the arius is rough in that regard. Slightest pressure and that blade ain’t coming out. Not easily at least.

I can totally see that. More angular handle though and more usable blade. Bigger primary choil. Definitely differences but I see the comparison. Though I haven’t handled a Ti’an.
