Recommendation? Looking for the shortest knife possible

[Munk45]

Hi guys, due to the litigation happy government of my country I am looking for the shortest knife possible. Something along the lines of the spyderco dog tag. any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The WE Knives Quark has a blade length of 0.32". That's the shortest I know.

“The shortest knife possible.”

Get an X-Acto knife and cut the handle to 1 inch.

There’s an awful lot of criteria missing.

What country are you from and what are the restrictions?

Pretty much full tang and as sharp as it gets.

Boker has some tiny stuff like the DW and the Keycom.

The Kershaw Launch 4 is tiny, CA compliant, and auto.

I was going to say one of the Spyderco Honeybees or a Manbug or Ladybug.

Don’t be afraid to go custom, it’ll allow you to have a legal size bowie knife!

Can you tell us your actual limit so I'm not here recommending you a Spyderco Bug or an Opinel no. 2? Folder or fixed blade?
Even places like the UK do have defined rules of what you can and can't have. Can you have a lock, does that matter?

Short and sweet..but there are too many variables missing to really help you.

It would be nice to know what your cutting needs are. For instance, a Victorinox SD Classic gives you many tool options, is friendly looking to the non-enthusiast, and can hide between a pair of keys on your key ring until needed. That knife has been my go-to in non permissive environments since I was a kid.
