I came across the Gerber EAB folding utility knife today. At 2.5oz, it looks like a good candidate for a PSK tin knife. I wonder if you can remove the pocket clip, saving a bit more space. I like the idea of being able to replace the blade and it would take little space to carry a spare. It is a step up from a basic sliding box cutter, which is another option for tins.
Do watch out for the first version which was recalled. Note the way the handle end of the blade has a wrap-around stop-- the earlier ones had a simple ledge to stabilize the blade and it could pop out and rotate, slicing the user.
Recalled version:
A few mentioned the DermaSafe folding razors. They are okay, but only for very fine work. IMHO, you might as well pack a couple single edge razor blades.
I've decided for a folder, that little Gerber UL LST is the right knife for a tin PSK. I think the tin size fixed blades would be better stll. Can't wait to see Ritter's new little knife.
A.G. Russell sells three of good quality that will easily fit into a Ritter PSK pack (I've done it with the first two and believe the third will do it, too):
