Recommendation? 2.5" or less EDC knife

[PeterS84]

Maybe a case pen knife or a small jackknife would be something to consider https://www.knifecenter.com/item/CA...Synthetic-Pen-Knife-3-38-inch-Closed-32087-SS

I would definitely be open to that. I have a couple of small Bucks but no Case knives. Will have to look into that.

I can't believe kershaw reverb hasn't been mentioned, good value

Looks like a nice knife but the measurement on blade comes in a little over 2.5

If you look around you can find one in the $150-160 range, even lower if you get lucky. It's a great little knife, and elmax does not get the attention that it deserves. It's a great all-around steel.

SMKW has them for about $140. Might have to pick one up. Although I gotta be honest, the pattern on the Ti is rather odd.

that's odd - Kershaw usually does not get measurements wrong: https://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/reverb#tech_specs

Lots of good suggestions. I'll plus one the peanut/small slipjoint or SAK suggestions. For lightweight carry I like the SAK Waiter. Very light, single layer so pretty thin, combo can/bottle/pry bar/screwdriver tool, cork screw which I like for holding the optional eyeglass screwdriver. The blade is the same as the blade in the small Tinker and the Tourist. Really cheap too - $16 -$17. I got mine on sale for $10!

I took my info off of Blade HQ, so that could be the reason for the difference -- maybe they're measuring total length vs. cutting edge or something like that. In any case, very close.

The Li’l Native is an amazing office EDC knife. It’s the perfect knife if you want more “robustness” than the DF2.

Love my regular Native 5 LW, so that's definitely high on the list! Thanks!
