My two favorite (and often carried) small knives:

Spyderco Kiwi:

Kyocera ceramic gentlemen folder:

And also very nice, but I carry it less often, the Boker Subcom:

Eventually I expect to buy a Klotzli Oval gentlemen knife:

And finally, I now discover a fantastic new (released in november) small knife, the Boker Napoleon. I think I will succumb to the temptation one day:

I'll second that. I don't think there is a day goes by that I don't use it a couple times a day. Small blade cuts well, sissors are handy as heck, and the small screw driver does light prying for when thumbnail ain't quite strong enough.
 
Agreed on the Vic Classic. It's the only knife I EDC that never gets rotated out.

The Spyderco Spin makes an excellent companion to a full sized folder. Excellent ergonomics and grip retention for a two finger knife and I think the blade shape works very well with the design. I like where the point is position when holding the knife, makes it great for detail cutting a knife this size is used for.

The UKPK and Caly 3 also deserve mention. They're about as small as I'd go for an EDC, but work very well for their size.
 
Fallkniven U2 is an awesome little knife.

Queen Whittler 3 blade slip joint is nice too.

I also like the Protec Runt and Tantilla, if you don't mind autos.

CRK Mnandi is very, very nice. Almost too nice.
 
Great thread, with some very nice small knives that I haven't seen before.

My "little knives", range from 1.92" (Benchmite) to 2.25" (new Kershaw Centofante/Onion and a SAK Cadet).

Here they are:

Left column: Benchmade Benchmite II coated and bead blasted, Benchmite 310 and 3100
Middle column: Nemesis Knives Imp in Cocobolo and Ebony, then Spyderco Kiwi in CF and Jigged Bone
Right column: SAK Mini Champ, Kershaw Centofante/Onion, SAK Cadet, Spyderco Cricket

Here are samples with their blades out:

The Kershaw is my latest, and I am thrilled with it. Very fun to play with, high quality, built in the USA. Blade steel may not be the best, but this is a very cool little knife.

I carry a Buck Adrenaline and the really small Swiss Army Knife (I've had it so long, I don't know what the model name is)
I probably use the toothpick on the SAK more than anything else! :)

Alsdorf slippy

CRK Mnandi and Limited Edition Small Sebenza

right now a Strider SnG in my pocket.
 
How do you like the Benmade Benchmite II and the 3200 auto? I've been tempted to get one of those as my 1st auto or get the manual if need be.
 
Queen medium stockman in D2. Three very sharp blades
Fallkniven U2. An awesome knife
Benchmade Benchmite II. A Benchmade that got shrunk in the dryer!
Boker SubComs. A lot of blade in very different shapes.
CRTK Apache or S2 in the small size, if you can still find them. Excellent knives.
