The Mini Crusader was announced on 17 December 2003. This downsized version of the regular Crusaders uses a lever rather than the plunge/button lock of its larger brothers. There were 192 pieces made with black handles. “Dalton��? is engraved on the handle. The little 1.2 inch blade was too small to fit a regular Proto marking. One piece was marked with a “P��? on the charging lever and the remaining Protos were marked with a “P��? on the blade. The mini-Crusader could be considered to be the first “wearable��? Dalton and a number of people wear these on a necklace as a pendant.
Specifications:
Overall Length(open): 4.329"
Blade Length: 1.209"
Length Closed: 3.120"
Max Width: 1.462"
Max Thickness: 0.319"
Max Blade Thickness: 0.091"
Weight: 452 grains (very slightly over 1 oz.)
The Daltons made 6 special hi-polished nickel silver handle sets in March 2004. The first one was fitted with an ATS-34 blade in March. The remaining 5 pieces were fitted with damasteel damascus blades in July 2004. All the nickel-silver pieces had the Shamrock engraved on the front.
