With its ultra-lightweight build, compact size, and proven durability, the LST Mini is the perfect pocket knife for those who need a small but mighty everyday tool.
Gerber says:
The Gerber LST Mini packs the toughness of the original LST into an ultra-compact, modern design. Built for everyday tasks, this featherlight folder is small enough to slip into any pocket, bag, or purse without adding bulk. Despite its size, it’s just as durable and reliable, featuring a 440A stainless steel drop point blade with a stonewash finish for long-lasting sharpness.
The glass-filled nylon handle keeps it lightweight yet sturdy, while the lockback mechanism ensures secure use. A thumb hole opener allows for smooth operation, and the grab tab with a lanyard provides extra carry options.

Our Verdict
With its featherlight build, compact frame and reliable lockback, the Gerber LST Mini delivers sharp, straightforward performance for everyday trail tasks.
At just 14g, it all but disappears in a pocket yet still offers a 4.8cm blade of 440A stainless steel that slices cleanly through food and light camp chores. The glass-filled nylon handle feels firm in the hand, with enough grip for controlled cutting. Opening is simple, and the lock holds securely once engaged. Edge retention is serviceable for its size, and the blade is easy to touch up when needed.
I am not generally one for carrying a full Swiss Army knife on the trail, but a tool like this small one suits me perfectly. It handles sausage and cheese, two of my favourites, and manages the occasional cord slicing without fuss. For hikers wanting the lightest of pocket knives with practical utility, it fits the role well.
