BIGGER is better, or not??? What say you??

It seems to have poor handle for actual use, and seems to be little too gimmicky for real world use. And I am a fan of small keychain size tools like the small SAK's. My mini knife is the SAK classic, and this thing is just too limited. Its like an answer to a question that hasn't beens asked. Sheer gimmick for monetary gain. Better off with a nice flat 1.99 box cutter that you can actually hold onto.
 
When it comes to knives, I prefer a larger blade. My reasoning is that if I have a 7 inch blade I can do anything a 5 inch blade can do, but the opposite isn't true. Granted, the larger blade will be less nimble and in some instances, you'll need to be careful of the extra length/cutting edge.

I don't mean this as an absolute; it's meant within reason. There's a point where a longer blade isn't practical. I'm not saying carry a two handed sword for everything. I wouldn't try to gut a fish with something like that unless I really had to.
 
Edit: Something similar has already been said. Let me say that I agree with the same opinion.

Imo bigger knife is better. Because with the big knife you can usually do the work of the small knife. Maybe not very well, but it still works. You cannot do the work of the big knife with the small knife .Of course, we need to draw a limit somewhere, how big a knife is enough? I think personal needs come into play here. My favorite knife for this subject is rajah 2. I don't think a bigger pocket knife would work for me. I don't have it, but the midgards messer Valhalla can be considered an ideal big size folder for me.
 
I like small knives. 2" of edge is enough for almost all tasks I need a knife for, and they're convenient to carry at all times.

I can understand keychain knives, they work in a pinch if you forget to toss a more substantial knife in your pocket. I have a SAK classic on my keys, I don't use it much but there's no real downside.

This seems less convenient than a SAK classic with no benefit. This takes longer to get open, it takes longer to close, it involves the important bit being completely detached and easy to drop, it seems less comfortable to use, and it seems less useful overall (no tweezers, toothpick, or scissors). And are we meant to sharpen it when it gets dull? Not sure how that would go. It looks cooler I guess, and novelty has a value for the overall design, and if I didn't have a keychain knife already I might consider it, but since I do have the SAK classic this isn't very interesting to me.

Also, "the smallest blade ever made?" Isn't it...obviously not?
 
The more I think about it, the more it seem to be an extremely poor design.

The keychain hole should have been on the scabbard portion, otherwise where does it go when you are using the blade? And once you loose it, which is just a matter of when, then it is properly useless.

Add to that the fact that they forgot the thread needed to use the scabbard as a handle, and you get the feeling that this was designed on a napkin, in a bar on a saturday night. Nothing wrong there, but you normally refine those design ideas on monday back at the office, it look like they skipped that part 😁
