Good list. I have a lot of knives but love carrying small knives that just disappear in the pocket. My favorite is the Dragonfly 2, I have 5-6 including G10, ZDP189, teal S30V etc but the VG10 FRN is fine. I used a VG10 to make about 100 cuts on 5-6 boxes covered in packing/duct tape the other day. Other great small knives are the Kizer mini Domin (N690), Kizer mini Begletier (154CM), Spyderco Meerkats. The Boker Subcom is a good one but small. I have the FRN AUS8 and titanium VG10. More money but the Spyderco Chapparel is a really good knife in CF or Raffir Noble. I have at least XL hands but not concerned with small grip area because 95% of the time I’m only using a small knife for a few cuts. Great video

It can ride in a dress shirt pocket. It’s not my favorite for cutting boxes but it peels oranges very well and it has a wonderful scraping edge with the forward tanto portion. Most importantly it looks really cool.

My issue is similar to yours-the finish isn't as great as it could be.

Nice list sir. Have you looked into Finch knives yet? Kind of modern traditional style, but with pocket clips! Lol.. I have been carrying their model 1929 in carbon fiber as my new 5th pocket carry for about a month and it is a beautiful little knife. I'm gonna have to get their runtly model next. Before the Finch I carried a Kizer mini sheepdog for 5th pocket. They're both great! Cheers 🍻

Thank you Drew. Yeah, I have seen some of their stuff. I'm definitely interested.

My tuff lite opening hole is smoother for right hand deployment, but the left hand opening is not painfully. I think it is due to how the blade blank is cut or stamped out.

You're probably right about that Scott. Thank you

Great list. The mini Dozier is quite good... with the light weight, it works on a keychain (even though they don’t market it for that). I have the midnight manager version of that Victorinox. The pen is excellent. The light is convenient for everyday tasks, but I just hate that it takes button cell batteries. Even for a backup light, I want to be able to regularly top-off the battery with a usb cable. Also, the pen knives on those 58mm SAKs are so flimsy they’re useless. They should replace them with box openers.

Thank you Fox. I love that Midnite Manager too! I gave one to my son. I really like your idea about the usb cable, that would be awesome.

Great list, Jay! All of my small knives are either traditionals or different SAK models. But I've been eyeing the Tuff Lite for awhile now, I think I just need to pull the trigger and get one!

I’m with you on the Pilar, I luv that knife. But ever since I first got it I been trying to find bronze washers for it. That would make it an excellent utility knife for me, but that’s my opinion. Also have the squid, great value. Been wanting a new Swiss Army knife because I haven’t had one in about 30 years, and the midnight is in my watch spot.

I hear ya, I feel the same way about the washers. Any noticeable difference between the bronze and teflon might be minimal, but I think about it every time I pick up that knife. I really just need to get over it.
@airadaimagery6924 жыл бұрын
The Knife Beater I’m going to remove the Teflon washers in the Pilar and measure them with a set of calipers. Once I get the exact measurements I will search for some bronze washers the same size. I see bronze and brass washers on eBay and Ali express, so hopefully I will get lucky. We might have to wait a month for them to come in if I can find them, but it looks like I can get 6 or 8 of them for not a whole lot of money. If it works out for me I will let you know and send a couple of them your way.

They're not easy to get, but the Blade HQ exclusive squid solves a lot of your issues. The show side is natural G-10, so that helps with both traction and weight. The blade is upgraded to D2, and it only costs $35, if I recall. So far they've only released a black coated blade version, which I own and love as a fifth pocket beater/loaner knife, but coming soon is a non coated blade, I believe stonewashed.

You should try the Kizer Lieb I think it’s 50 bucks bohler n690 steel 2.5 inch cutting edge it’s a knock out it does not have any lefty love but as a third pocket knife it doesn’t much matter I as a righty don’t use the clip just into the third pocket.
