Post pictures of your favorite small knives that seem bigger than they really are. Let's limit it to knives that can fit in the change pockets of blue jeans.

I want one of those chubbies! How do you like it? Have any other higher end Ti framed stuff, or handled a sebenza? How does it compare and how far off is it talking the cost savings into account?

OP: that's a great looking gec, my only GECs are sodbusters in 01
This is my carried modern smaller knife. DPx Heat first run sleipner @ 60hrc
 
Not the best cell phone pic, And it's my only small knife.

A Super Blue Spyderco Manbug. I carry it paired with my Military, makes a great people friendly knife to use in certain situations.

Okay here I my list from top to bottom....
1. Medford full TI micro praetorian. This is a little thicker and heavier....but I had to put it in the blade stock is thick....and it has a glass breaker. This is a knife that goes straight from my slacks to my jeans.....great all around knife.

2. Small CF Sebenza - very light and tough for he size
3. Strider PT - due to the blade choil this is THE most comfortable micro knife I have.....great when I want something lighter than the praetorian.

4. Curtiss f3, small - it is a Curtiss tough as nails, and the fastest flipper of the bunch.
5. Butch ball stubby- very tough little flipper with a thicker blade. Great tech placed in a small knife.
6. Spyderco Gail Bradley Air - one of the first knives I ever owned. I have hammered on this baby, it stays sharp and still looks new....this sucker is tough. Pound for pound one of the toughest I have seen.

7. TSF CCT - great slicer.....strong blade in a small package.

Just my two cents. In order my favorite is the Medford followed by the Strider.

Sorry can't post pics atm, but the DPX Hest F (3.1") and the ZT 0350 (3.25") with their fatter blades feel like bigger knives than they actually are.
 
It won't fit in a watch pocket, but I'm amazed how much blade that Zero Tolerance fits into its new ZT0450 and ZT0452CF. For me it's the most bang for the size.

I picked up a Kershaw Shuffle at Wal Mart on a whim a couple weeks ago. I have mixed feelings. Build quality is somewhat lacking (I already lost the thumb studs and it went dull almost immediately), but from a size and ergonomics standpoint, I couldn't be more impressed. It has a firm purchase in hand and is very nimble. It reminds me of my Manix 2 when I choke up on it.

I'm impressed enough with the ergonomics and feel of the knife that I'm going to pick up one of the 8700 series versions (The Wal Mart one is a 3800 series and uses a cheaper blade steel).
