Best little folders

[Essexman]

The Nano comes as locking or non locking 42.

It's my new EDC for work, I love it.

Fallkniven U2 (with custom pocketclip)
Fallkniven TK3
Small Sebenza
Opinel

I changed my mind.

I can't really say about the Sebenza. Had a nice one in my hands a few times,
but haven't done serious cutting with it. Not sure about the blade profile.

The carbon Opinels are hard to beat after convexing. Some shaping of the handle.
They are cheap enough to have a few and play with.

TK3 is almost too nice to use, until you do. Custom made feel to it, as is the price.
For that you get a heavy knife for it's size, with great fittings and materials.
I don't find the hard steel too hard to hone or sharpen, but could well be for others.

U2 I don't know what not to like about it. A little laser that keeps on going and going.
Not a very spectacular folder from first looks, but it works and never fails me.

Spyderco's I'm not familair with at all, so can't tell. I would love to try a small Spyderco folder with VG10 steel, flat grind, spearpoint, backlock, lowrider, and comfy handle

Dragonfly 2.  Hits all of your wants, though the blade is more leaf-shaped than spearpoint (wider, mostly).

Dragonfly is a great little knife one of my favourites. Here it is next to some others for size reference. The Opinel is the #6. I like smaller knives. You should also check out the Case Sodbuster Jr. It's the one left of the Opinel. Sits great in the hand. Or maybe a doctors knife of some sort (tortoise patterned). Mine is a two bladed one, but there are a single blade versions too.

This was one of the first higher end knives I got when I started getting into knives about six years ago - Al Mar Ultralight Falcon. It's wafer thin and weighs only 1.5 ounces and has a 3.25 inch blade. What I really like about this knife is the blade steel, AUS 8. While so far I've been able to get any knife sharp enough to whittle hair, this one just gets a little bit sharper than all the others and with less effort. I love this little knife

Amici,
Please let me add the Chive and the Centofante/Onion 1610 BLKST both made by Kershaw I'm really getting to enjoy those flippers over thumb studs!

Cheers,
Serge

I have a few, that I like very much. Buck 112 is definitely one of them. But for pocket carry I prefer more 501 Squire, or Schrade SP3+.





But if we are talking for very small knives - my favorites are Buck 525 and Case tiny trapper!

One small knife that gets very little attention is the Case Mini Blackhorn. They sell for about $10 at Lowes, and are simply wonderful little pocketknives. Compact, nice grind, lockback, can even be opened one handed with some practice.
