Nice Boker edap617!  :like: :tu: :tu:   

I like the Kershaw Shuffle.

It takes and holds a good edge and the with the broader blade it slices through cardboard effortlessly.

VM, its hard to argue against the Shuffle.  And you get a lot of utility for the money.  I think my current favorite in the mini knife genre is the Dragonfly.

I have not one favorite, but two.

The Kershaw Shuffle and Gerber US1

I use the Shuffle mostly at work. Like the blade, the pocket clip. Fits well and feel secure in hands.

The US1: Made in USA. Very light, slices well, disapear in the pocket. I really forget that I'm carrying it.

That will be the next Spyderco I buy. Once all the COVID stuff has blown over, I'm checking it out at my local knife store. If not, I might just order one.

It's a "normal" blade size for me. Wenger Traveler sprang to mind first, but I have several traditional pocket knives of this size too. My more modern pocket knives tend to be slightly larger at between 65mm and 75mm I think  :think: If I need more than that, I reach for a fixed blade.

Here's a few examples, simply because they were close by. There's no one single knife that stands out as being my No.1 Favourite though. They've all served me well for several years.

Indeed Kershaw makes very "fidgetable" knives.

Nice Scallion!

Yup, in addition it was a present for some very good people at a time when I was recovering from major surgery.

This is a tough one as most of my slipjoints are in this category and It's hard to choose one.     :dunno:
