I tend to like my knives smaller rather than bigger, but I’ve got a few shots of my smallest knives here. They’ll stash anywhere and handle a fair bit of work if needed.

From top in the first picture:

Al Mar Hawk with cocobolo handles – AUS8, 2 1/4” edge, 5 3/4” OAL
Benchmade 310 Benchmite – 154CM, 2” edge, 4 3/4” OAL
Jeff Hall/Nemesis Hellion – S30V, 1 1/2” edge, 4 1/16” OAL
Trace Rinaldi/Shivworks Lil’ Loco – S30V, 1 1/4” edge, 3 1/16” OAL

I love the Hawk for it’s look and superb fit and finish. The 310 is cool design all around from the handle to the Levitator lock. The Hellion I just got last week, sharp as hell, this is what you’d really call a pocket scalpel. The Loco’s design gives it great grip for such a small piece, a solid chunk of steel in hand.

Anyone else have some small knives to share?

jujigatame, nice pic's and nice knives. I love small fixed blades. Since I only collect what I would EDC, my collection ranges from, at work, TOPs, Muela's, CRKTs, Ka-Bar TDI, Etc... To my 'Sunday Best' dress EDC's which are customs that caught my eye. Here's the latest, Thrasher Custom Knives, 6 1/8" OA (putting it 1/8" over my usual limit, but this knife is gorgeous). 440C mirror polish with stablized Black Walnut scales. I usually like to post my own pics, but so far, I haven't been able to do this one justice. The stabilized Black Walnut is almost translucent, the polish gives it amazing depth, and you can see down into the layers of the grain. The MP on the blade is so good, it's truely reflective, and I'm going to have to diffuse my lighting better, to capture it properly. For now I'll use Keith's pic, I don't think he'd mind. :D

Cool "mini" mini collection. :D Love that Lil' Loco!

Nice little skinner Bladewolf. I guess this must be the shiny/refelective knife you mentioned earlier. Man, that blade looks like liquid metal. Sweet! :thumbup:

I don't have many small knives, fixed or folder, but I like this topic so I want to contribute. As little as possible. ;)

Ugh...:foot:

Here's my Hellion I carry on w/ my keys. Cord wrapped the handle and left the ends long for a bit more grip.


Next is a little Gary Bradburn keychain knife in W-1 tool steel. A bit of overkill for such a small knife but hey, what the hell? :) 4.75"


This a little titanium necker, 4.75", I bought off ebay made by "Some Guy".


Finally, Loveless "City Knife" by Lonewolf. I love this wharncliff slipjoint! It's actually somewhat large do to the handle being bigger than the 2.25" blade. OAL is 6.25"
 
Juji, that AlMar Hawk is sweet. I have a similar AlMar but without bolsters.
Need to take a photo of that one.
The Lil'Loco is interesting as well.
My favorite lil' FB, made by forumite Bruce Evans aka Beknives.

Physics,

Thanks, I'm going to really work on this skinner photowise. It makes a good practice piece.

You even made the freak'n keys look good. Nice knives too BTW. That's it...
I'm rebuilding my lightbox @#$%^&*!

Ebbtide,

That's sweet. Got any pics showing more handle detail? That looks pretty exotic. :thumbup:
 
The handle material is pretty cool.
Faux Tortise...really translucent cowhorn dyed on the back, on top of gold leaf.
The rest is nickle silver that wraps around the frame.
Here's the only other pick that I have

(I made the 'inside coat pocket' sheath)
;)
 
That's a great collection Physics. The handle and hamon on the Bradburn are sweet. I've been meaning to get one of those Loveless knives for a while now, that might be where part of my tax refund goes.
 
New addition to the small knife group - Spyderco Dyad Jr. I'd been on the lookout for one of these for a while and got lucky to find one for sale in the exchange. Both blades are 2.125", ATS55 steel. This is going to get a lot of carry time.

 
Cool. That looks like a very handy little knife. Very versital with the serrated and plain edge blades. Reading the measurements it's smaller than it looks in the pics. And nice pics they are. I really like that last photo. :thumbup:
