Yup -- mighty thin, but still not as thin as it gets . . .(Image removed from quote.)The Excelsior is a half a millimeter thinner and the Beginner knocks almost 3/4 millimeter off of that! They are extremely thin knives. The Excelsior, Sentry and Beginner are the thinnest knives I've ever handled.John

Nothing heavier than an XLT.
Lots of great input here... I'm thinking it's really splitting hairs not to include the compact as a contender... Which leads me to second guess including the SpartanMaybe 85mm 2 layer should be the cutoff...

Well... For me will always be these two: (Image removed from quote.)Small Tinker and Tourist.I finally got fed up with the damn key ring and decided to chop it off. Best decision i ever made. They carry and feel a whole lot better now

They carry and feel a whole lot better now Funny... I used to dislike the keyring but have become so accustomed to the p7 pocket clip, I scarcely carry a sak without keyring anymore. I admit, the kr can be uncomfortable when putting the large blade to work... but for me, the benefit of not having a sak fall out of my pocket, and be comfortably secured in the pocket outweighs the discomfort the kr may cause.
