i have had my mouse for 2 years now (actually, the blade tech mouse2) and have found it to be an amazing small folder. i live in chicago and have insane laws (2.5" limit). so i collect and use lots of small knives. i have compared it to the small sebenza, umfaa, dragonfly, spyderco chicago, jester and more. all in all, the mouse2 is ROCK SOLID in the hand, even though it does not look like it would be. the blade is shard and has a TON of cutting power, and even looks pretty friendly. all in all, i keep coming back to the mouse 2. thanks spyderco and bladetech. mouse2 in my pocket forever. GREAT lil knife!!
 
what about the pen knives? those look like great little knives. also the G-10 dragonfly
 
I really like the Lava, although it's a bit hefty for a small knife. The Etched Spin is also very nice.
 
For me, it's the Kiwi. I find it offers me a much better grip than the Mouse. Not really crazy about Almite either.

Here's one of mine that is currently misplaced. I'm looking for it! I have another with Collector #64 on the blade.

The Mouse is a good knife. I loved (and miss) my Navigator. I'm very satisfied with the ergonomics and performance of my Dragonfly. I never leave home without it.
 
would be interested in getting a mouse :p
I have been a fan of spyderco's smaller knives lately...

I picked up a couple CF Kiwis...good time to get them especially since they are discontinued now :p
 
I prefer my Poliwog (SS version). It's a tank and the ergos are very good. Lockup is very good as well and I'm (still) looking for another one as backup.

The CRKT Drifter is another surprising folder. I changed all it's washers to PB and it is really nice. Reminds me of a mini Sebbie though mucho cheapo in comparison.
 
The Spyderco MOUSE was a great small blade and I wouldn't mind having one again. However I've got 2 Small Spyders that I think are much more functional than the MOUSE model.

The C-39 Micarta Dyad Jr and the CArbon Fiber Cricket models are just the best little folders out there IMO.

The Dyad Jr gives you 2 blades and the reverse S blade on the Cricket is one cutting machine for a little blade.

Spyderco has taken small blades to another level all together. Everyone of the small Spyders I've ever had are functional gems with the exception of the Ladybug & Jester which I consider them both to be novelty knives.
