Best Tiny Knife?

Victorinox Broker is a deceptively useful EDC if you wear slacks. I'm on my third one and am naked without it. I've carried monster knives all my life; but the broker is so small that you can keep it on your key chain and even security guards will hand you your keys back without batting an eye. Super sharp, paper thin, great quality, and you have scissors should you need; you'd be surpised.

if you are using it on your keys i would say the spyderco ladybug, it comes in so many variations i think you would be hard pressed to find one you dont like :D
 
mini kabar/dozier folder. .9oz, 2in blade of aus-8 and comes with a key ring. It also fits in an altoid tin BTW
The kabar dozier folders in all sizes are one of the best deals out there.
 
I like my Boker Wharcom as a functional little knife (less than $30).
In the Byrd line:
~2" - 2.5"
Crow
Finch
Robin

I like the G-10 versions, which are a very good value knife.

The Spyderco Spin is a great little knife.

+1 for the spin. It's a surprisingly capable little knife, and actually pretty comfortable in a variety of grips for how small it is. Nifty little blade. Here's mine:

This is about $10 at Lowe's, made in USA and works well on a keyring. It's a Case Blackhorn:

The Spyderco ladybugs are top notch keychain knives IMO, the Yellow H1, Orange FRN and SS are the ones I like and use the most.:):thumbup:

Agree. You can, if you look around, find PE or SE...FRN or stainless...the usual drop-point profile, or sheepsfoot/rescue or hawkbill...high quality, good lock, great materials.
 
I currently carry a SAK Classic, but I got my girlfriend a Gerber STL for a present.

Been meaning to trade, she's unwilling. :p

I gotta say I'm loving the look of the Boker keycom. This might be the one fellas!

I like the shape of the Keycom.
But I don't like the single thumbstud.
Also, I'm not a big fan of knives made in mainland China.

(Some of the Boker Plus series are made in Taiwan, which IMO produces
higher quality knives than mainland China.)

I'd go with one of the small Spyderco's or SAK's already recommended in this thread.

I would prefer at most a 2" blade and something that could fit on my keychain. My budget is about $30. I know I'll get some great responses like always.

Thanks guys! Any experiences with the Blade tech mouse?

There is a 2" blade length limit where I work, so I have several knives with 2" blades. And a couple of fellas at work have others. So I have experience with several blades:

Buck Colleague - Chinese-made framelock in ~440A.
Spyderco Ladybug - Japanese-made in VG 10.
Blade-Tech Mouse - Japanese made (I think) in 440C (belongs to a buddy of mine)
AG Russel ulimate Pen knife - Japanese-made VG 10.
Case Tiny Trapper - US-made Tru-Sharp stainless (~420HC)
Camillus pen knife - US-made 440A.
Vic Classic - Vic Stainless (~420HC)

Of the one-hand openers, I like the Buck best, followed by the Mouse. The blade shapes work better for me than that of the Ladybug.

Of the slipjoints, the AG Russel is awesome, but very small. The Case doesn't hold an edge as well as any of the others, but has the best ergos. There is more handle to hang onto.

Of them all, the Case gets the most pocket time. (The Classic doesn't really count. I never use the blade. I carry it on my key ring.) YMMV.
