For the purposes of this thread, let's try to keep it to knives with one blade or tool at each end. Excluding muskrats, mooses, and canoes, as laws unto themselves.
Here's a Henkels Zwillingswerk, a Case Eisenhower, a Camillus tuxedo, and an AR? Co.

If I have pants on my Queen #03 is in my watch pocket. It gets a lot of use when I'm at school, church, or anywhere around groups of kids. It attracts no attention and gets the job done very well.

 
This little Case pen knife was one of the first knives I bought when I started getting into traditionals, before I'd even heard of GEC. It's a great little knife; easy to get razor sharp, and does just about anything you ask of it.

I'm not really a fan of Pen knives in general but these two caught my eye several years ago. I rarely carry them because I tend to like knives with a little more heft but I do like these. The main blade on the Eisenhower is a terrific blade.

I love carrying this one to work in my suit pants. Todd did an amazing job on this knife. 3-3/8" closed, CPM-154 steel, brown jigged bone and domed, stainless pins.

Like them a lot! But, I consider any knife being with two blades at opposite ends and with a single-spring as qualifying....:D

However, I sense that this thread is aimed at smaller knives, size is important.

I have several pen knives and reserve their carry to dress slacks for events such as church, weddings, funerals, etc. where I'll likely encounter no heavy cutting chores. These are a few of my favorites; Case Eisenhower, Buck 309, Case Mini-Copperhead. OH

I like pen knives. Classic looks, thin and light in the pocket. The large blade small combo works pretty well for me.

I think they are ok. I have two, both made by Case. One I inherited, the other was a prize in a GAW. I carry them...sometimes.



Ok, I'm still learning, and I think these are pen knives. Might be peanuts, I'm not sure. I do recognize the pen blade is not the main blade so, that's why I'm not sure. Haha.
