Best mini-PSK knife?

[CSG]

While I've made a little Altoids tin kit recently, I really like Ritter's PSP and have one in each vehicle. I've stuck a SAK Classic in each but that's not the best knife for even the simplest outdoors task.

Today, I got a new Buck 110 from LL Bean and it came with a Chinese made mini-Buck lock back. It fits perfectly but is not available for separate purchase.

I'm looking to replace the Classics with a single lock back blade of a similar size. What can you recommend to fit the Ritter PSP or Altoid tin?

Maybe a Buck 325 Colleague (frame lock!)

or....

If you have room, a Spyderco Dragonfly with the clip cut off. This would be the best. Great egros if you needed to use it for heavier choirs.

Not sure of the Sak Classics size, but the Spyderco Ladybug seems fairly popular for a small psk.

The Ladybug looks interesting. Buck has a couple small lock backs like the 325 and 505 (sort of a mini-110 but with a drop point blade).

Maybe a small fixed blade?

All those knives are too big, grunt save for the JK Tin knife. For this use a folder is probably better (bigger blade). I wish I could do business with JK but he doesn't take credit cards or PayPal.

I've got a BRKT PSK and it seems like it would do well in a PSK tin. Small enough to fit yet big, errr...sizable, enough for probably any task you might ask of a small knife. Definitely a choice to consider :thumbup:.

Where's a link to a BRKT PSK??

Might also consider a Buck Hartsook with the sheath modded to be flat.

the S30v Buck Hartsook is a good FB & the BRK&T PSK or any of their micro line.

How about something from here?

The little Gerber ultralite (lock back with plastic handle) would fit. I have an old one and it's a good, little knife.

A Buck Smidgen or Hartsook is surprisingly useful for it's size, but a SAK like a Huntsman will fit in an Altoids tin and offers even more utility.

The upcoming yellow Spyderco LadyBug with non-rust H1 steel is IMHO the best companion for the Ritter PSP. It would also fit in the pouch.

I would recommend a Spyderco Dragonfly. Fits nicely inside an Altoids tin. With a lanyard that fits over the pinky, it makes a great knife for its size.
