LITTLE folders?

I know you said no lock backs, but I think you are excluding some great knives.

I'd like to throw out the Spyderco Lava. Awesome little big knife designed by CLB.

What about the Benchmade 707 Sequel? I'm loving mine. It's thin and small enough to fit in my coin pocket, has a great shaped blade and a super smooth and sturdy Axis lock.

I would second the mini tuff lite. They are great little knives, lockback though.

If you consider the Techno to be tiny then you are right in line with my carry these days- the Spyderco Tenacious is the smallest knife in my EDC rotation right now.

I think an excellent "tiny" knife is the Spyderco Ladybug and similarly the Dragonfly. They come in a wide variety of models. I like the Kershaw Leek and of course they have the similar Scallion and Chive. I also really like the looks of the Benchmade Emissary. I think it is very similar to the Leek and maybe slightly larger. The CRKT Ripple and Eros are very interesting but I haven't handled one yet. I like the CRKT Delegate because it is available with dressier scale materials, but it is slightly bigger than the Leek and might not be considered "tiny". But if the size limit goes a little higher, then I would add some like the Benchmade 707 and Benchmade 907.

I'll second or third the suggestion for the Kershaw Leek. It's very slim, sleek, and has a very useful tip. The composite blade with CPM D2 is really quite nice. I use mine as a gents folder and I haven't had to even touch it up for over a year. It's a fun little stainless steel frame lock.

I just got a dragonfly 2 in G10 and Ill tell you it's an awesome knife I'm not a big lock back guy but his is a sweeeeeet knife. Knife locks great no blade play and feels like you have a 100+ knife just love it . Spyderco really did a great job with the ergos on the dragonfly if you get one get the G10 one they are worth the money .
