5th Pocket Knives - My Favorite Small Capable Pocket Knives

[@MichaelJWeinstein]

You can never have too many knives!! Love the small blades!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A fun video to make. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@jasonporter6078]

Great list. I love the Old Timer knives. My favorite 5th pocket knife is the Buck 505. Enjoy the channel.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Jason. I hope you found some things you liked. Take care.

Agree w legion - great vids man - just found ya tonight - stellar reviews 🍻🍻👍👍✅✅

[@rkoenig100]

Very cool little knives. I almost always carry a modern folder, but for about the last year I like to put a small traditional knife in my fifth pocket whenever I wear jeans. The only drawback to your channel is I keep seeing more traditional knives I want!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a good proble to have Koenig. Thanks for watching.

[@Mike-uh2gw]

The cut out for your finger is called a choil. Great channel, you got me warming up my credit card to get a couple to put in my hoard.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Mike. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@pa1adin111]

I just yesterday got an Old Timer 106OT, the Granddad's Folding Pocket Knife. It's 2.78" closed and has two blades and a pair of scissors. It's a fantastic 5th pocket knife and I can't find a single video review of it. I think you'd like it.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yea that's one on the wishlist, Rick. I just haven't gotten round to getting one. Thanks for the feedback.

[@RJsKnives]

Sweet collection of little knives! I love small knives and like you, am always looking out for ones that are small but capable. And you provided a lot of options for everyone both here and abroad.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Much respect RJ. Those are the best type of small knives, small in stature, but big in performance.

[@knifedelights7473]

That is a great selection! Thanks for sharing.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hey KD. I appreciate the visit. Thanks for stopping in.

[@diverdave2179]

The Cub lockback always impresses me in videos. And though I prefer blue, the red one is pretty nice! Thanks TK!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Quite a few options of it out there. From classic, sparkly, to snake like.

[@JollyPeanut]

Nice selection for the 5th pocket good to see you got a Cub , I have another Cub on the way from CKW Sparkle flavor

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Oooooooh Sparkly, I know the one. Let me know how you like it in person JP.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Thank you sir.

Nice selection of 5th pocket knives.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Much appreciated William.

[@jelkel25]

Thanks for taking our ridiculous knife laws into consideration. Usually use an RR Splitback Whittler as a third pocket type knife. Your Mini Canoe reminds me of it, a similar stout little spear point blade and nice jigged bone.

[@Elphoenix1]

I forget sometimes how good we have it in Arizona I have seen people carrying machetes on their side no problem

[@jelkel25]

@@Elphoenix1 These things creep up on you and as long as it's done bit by bit few object because it doesn't affect them directly. Can't remember too many machetes but as long as you weren't waving honking great big knives around in city centres you were good here not that long ago. Be vigilant, it's the little laws always for your safety that start things off. Once they've gotten away with a couple they go hog wild control/power mad.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

You're so very right, that's generally how it happens. Thanks Richard.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hey you guys support me, and I support you. Thanks my friend.

[@rustyknifelover4463]

My favorite is the Rough Ryder VG10 Stockman. Those blades are so darn slicey.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hey thanks for the feedback choice Rusty, I'll take a look.

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Thanks for sharing! Gotta get a "Watermelon"! That cub is a exact profile of my squirrel hunter. Gotta get one,too! Thanks again, Steve

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, the squirrel hunter is pretty much the same thing. Thanks for the feedback and welcome to the channel.

I love them all! I got to look into the old timer line now. I love slip joints!!! I am gonna give shoutouts to similar channels like this that got me hooked.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That's great Tactical. Traditionals are terrific. Happy to hear you are enjoying the content.

[@Zen_Ali_123]

The Boker pony stockman is my favorite but the Uncle Henry 807 stays in the tray. Gave away my Camillus 22 and have missed it every day since. Currently eyeballing Case tiny stuff.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The Boker Pony Stockman is a beautiful knife. Thanks for the feedback Zen.

[@felinebline7154]

Just rec'd my rr mini canoe purple swirl. Magnificent. Walk and Talk perfect no gaps center. Both easy access with nicks not covered both on the outside. Long pull on the main I really like. Sharp. I like the spear points. Smooth. Mag box. Thanks nice tip for a fifth carry! 1.35 oz!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, that's the only downside is you may forget it's there and toss it in the wash. Stay sharp Rick.

[@marycahill546]

The mini Canoe and mini Barlow are both so tempting. Today I'm carrying a small light Ruike on my keychain.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

If you like them small then you found the right video for sure. Thanks Mary.

[@felinebline7154]

Well 3rd 5th pocket will be my RR Copper swirl cub. Perfect company for my Purple Mini Canoe and the Mighty Might.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Haven't yet got that one. Thanks Rick.

[@felinebline7154]

Just got my Mighty Might. Nice piece. Perfect name for lit. Thanks.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Right on! Great little knife I think.

[@felinebline7154]

That old timer mighty mite. Is next for me! I checked out R.R. Purple swirl mini Canoe gets real interest. Really like that Novelty brass horse knife too. Thanks.

The Minuteman, it's a great name for a knife. Thanks Stuart.

[@gizmocarr3093]

You have a nice selection of small pocket knives in your collection. Small knives are highly underestimated on how handy they can be and how much they can do too. First time I saw a Mighty Mite and it looks like it could live up to its name. It seems if you like bigger pattern knives you will also like the smaller pattern ones too. Thank you for sharing your collection. 🔎💰🔍🙂

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

So true. There's some great smaller knives out there. Thanks for commenting Gizmo.

[@steveg.1502]

Good choices TK. Looks like you have one for every day of the week. I like the Old Timers.👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Will do Jersey. Thanks for stopping in. Small knives can be great.

[@terrillschneider3778]

Nice presentation TK However I seldom fifth pocket carry for two reasons First a knife in my fifth pocket interferes with my ability to draw my pocket pistol And secondly if I am carrying my pistol by other means or not allowed to carry I am reluctant to carry any expensive knife in a pocket I might lose it out of

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for sharing you comments Terrill. Take care.

[@timvest8141]

Nice selection. I have a few Frost small Copperheads that fit the 5th pocket nicely that I like to carry. Definitely need to get that small canoe. It's one of my favorite patterns too.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I don't know that I've seen the Frost ones you mention I'll give them a look. Thanks Tim.

[@r1ckgr1m3s8]

I like the case pocket Hunter I have two of them. Wish Rough Rider would make a pattern like that at sixty bucks a pop the case is just too expensive to collect a bunch of them

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the comment Rick and welcome to the channel.

[@r1ckgr1m3s8]

@@ThriftyKaniffy thanks, and I got my first Rough Rider knife today, The Buckshot bone copperhead and I have to say I am very impressed with it. It's actually nicer than some of the case knives I have gotten recently, that being said I want to get the new Vault knife in the Caribbean blue saw cut bone, so pretty.

[@lanedexter6303]

People my age never called it a 5th pocket. That’s a watch pocket.😉

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Sounds good Lane, that works for me too.

[@Semitotal]

I've gone almost exclusively fifth pocket lately and have been eyeing the Cub and mini canoes, but I didn't know that small Barlow existed! Might have to grab that one. 👍👍

[@brandonzimmermann]

Love the barlow, but wish it had a “fatter” blade like most do. My watch pocket is large so my 5th carry is a Super Tinker.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Victorinox is never a bad choice. Thanks for the comment Brandon.

[@krazykat64]

Peanut is my hands down favorite. Also if you like the Minuteman check out the 106OT Grandad’s Folder. It’s basically a Minuteman but with scissors.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Will do John. I've admired it in photos. Thanks.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

Quite a fine selection TK, ofcourse you can't get around the Angry Watermelon, even if only for the fun factor. The mini canoe is probably my favourite choice, i like them very much, but i do carry a peanut often these days. The minute man is really a good option too. Thank you for the great video buddy.

Lady leg, yep not for me. The SD is great, it could've easily been on the list. Thanks Tobias.

Thank you for thinking about us UK viewers, not to fond of little knives though I do have a few of your selection the one I would choose is the mini Barlow, surprising because I don't like Barlows that much however that RR with that lovely handle colour appeals to me. Another well presented video I hope your channel grows it deserves to.

Very kind of you to say Lewis. I do try to make a point to look out for the UK viewer. Be well my friend.

I'll let you into a secret...I live in England and I will often carry a locking blade! I'm not a thug, I don't go flashing the thing around and locks are a safety thing.
