Inasmuch as I would happily use the No. 10 for all my cutting needs, it occurred to me that a more sheeple-friendly size might be in order for certain activities.

Enter the No. 5.  It is just slightly larger than a Case Peanut, so should be inoffensive to all but the most ardent of hoplophobes.

I consider myself fairly well prepared for the challenge at this point.  I’m having a hard time envisioning a scenario in which I personally would want something smaller than the No. 5, but it is interesting to note that Opinel actually offers three sizes that are smaller still.

I have one of each of said sizes. Perhaps I'll eventually snag a No 1...but I'm not holding my breath, as that size was discontinued nearly 100 years ago.
