The Minnow is quite a bit smaller than the Bigfish. The UHC blade is about 4 3/4" long, 13/16" wide, and only .039" thick. The knife weighs only 1 3/4 ounces. Even with the birch handle it's said to float, although I didn't try it. Again, it's supplied with a sheath, but would be a great food prep knife
