Little knives are fun

The smallest knife I currently own. It was a gift.

What is it?
 
When I want tough and tiny, I like the Boker Plus PryMini Pro designed by Jasper Voxnaes. You do have to be careful how you hold the sheath when you're getting used to pulling it out though, unless you want to be writing knife reviews like: "This knife came very sharp. When I pulled it out of the sheath for the first time it cut my finger off and the dog ate it when it landed on the floor. It fits my hand even better now that I don't have that extra finger!"

I'm finding that with more and more folding knives turning into heavy chunks of steel with thicknesses exceeding. 15 and locks that allow you to stab space rocks I'm finding smaller slipjoints exceedingly more useful by the day, not only is the average knife no thicker than .7 or .8, but sometimes it's all those dreadful little cuts that make the difference, especially with sheepsfoot blades in a slipjoint, it's like having surgeons scalpel at the ready. Been using my dad's old Colibri with a wobbly blade but discovered it did about 85%+ of what I'd ever ask of it, and the play doesn't bother me --- just some thoughts of mine
 
Spyderco tiny whatever. I get one confiscated at the airport at least once a year. I keep it with writing utensils in my briefcase.

This is not my photo, it's the one that Horsewright Horsewright took of my knife. I just can't seem to show this little guy in a good light. Motorola phone don't help none.

It's a really small knife, under 6 inches from stem to stern... but MAN does it cut big. Probably because it's sharp enough that no effort is required to cut what needs cuttin'.

Knife and sheath vanish into the jeans pocket... I'd bet the jeans pocket itself was used to pattern the sheath.

Hope you don't mind me using your photo, Dave. You're better at this than me.
