My small Vantage Pro arrived a few minutes ago. I'm pleased. While the blade is not centered as my large Vantage Pro was it does not rub anywhere. Other than that f&f is quite good. My large came in shaving sharp, this one was about as dull as any knife I have ever bought. A little time on the Sharpmaker and strop and she's ready to go. Despite these minor issues I do like this little knife. Time will tell how much it gets carried. Vantage Forcr Pro in OD next?

Congrats on your new Buck. I like mine well enough but it's really too small for my hand so it's been tasked with guarding my BCCi Life Member Certificate.

Very nice display. I have found over the years that I can adapt my grip and usage to fit most knives from a tiny Manbug to my larger BK&T's / Hoodlum / JAB sized knives. Now pistols and shotguns must fit me, rifles I adapt.

I loved my Small Pro until I bought the large, now the small seems tiny... There all great though.
 
Agree on the size issue. I bought the small Pro and promptly gave it away to a young (12 year old) lady that it fit just fine. It was a fine "liitle" knife but just didn't suit me.
 
My 10 year old Grandson got mine, now he thinks he's top knife collector on his street. LOL. Now he wants one of my large ones, told him he needs to wait a little longer. I plan to give him a 102 for his birthday next month. He is smittem already.

All of you folks can just send your tiny lil knives my way. I will figure a way to get some use from them. LOL
Do none of you carry a peanut, small stockman, solitaire or the like?

No, never. The 301 is the smallest I ever carry.

I'm not saying that the small Vantage is too small to carry, it's just my opinion that it's too small for the type of knife that it is.
 
I carry my small pro more than my larger Vantages, and I have very large hands...
I took off the clip, and find it makes an excellent,discreet, pocket knife...slim enough where it doesn't present an obvious outline, and plenty of cutting edge for most EDC tasks, and if deployed discreetly doesn't scare the Sheeple ;)
