Are you looking for Micro Knives, Keychain Knives and/or Small Pocket Knives that are useful for EDC?

The following list contains single bladed folding knives, sorted to handle length (from smallest to largest) while keeping it under 3" 1/2 (89mm) closed length. It's divided into three distinctive categories (Budget, Quality and Exclusivity), according to it's price tag.

As the list is very comprehensive, it can be somewhat difficult to exactly find what you are looking for.
To assist you with that, the knives are marked as follows:

=> AUTO ----knives that open automatically by pressing a button, the so called "Switchblade" (12)
=> FLIP ----knives with an assisted opener, the so called "Flipper" (10)
=> FRIC -----knives with a friction-folding mechanism, the so called "Friction Folder" (1)
=> BACK ----knives with a back-locking mechanism, the so called "Lockback" (83)
=> LINER ---knives with a locking-liner mechanism, the so called "Linerlock" (50)
=> FRAME --knives with a locking-frame mechanism, the so called "Integral lock" aka "Framelock" or "Mono lock" (45)
=> LEVER---knives with a locking-lever mechanism, the so called "Leverlock" aka "Carraca lock" or Navaja lock" (9)
=> BUT-----knives with a lock release mechanism by pressing a button (8) => these are not switchblades
=> SLIP ----knives without any locking mechanism, the so called "Slip Joints" (70)
=> CLIP ----knives with a Clip attached for carrying to a belt, pocket or to use as money clip (68)
=> STURDY the most sturdy build little knives (22)
=> PLANE --knives you can legally carry on a US airplane without loosing it to customs (8)
=> FUN ----knives with a rather fun looking appearance (11)
=> SER ----knives with a partially or fully serrated blade, either standard or as an option (21)
=> THIN ---the absolute thinnest knives of them all (76)

For collectors or people just looking for a small single bladed folding knife for EDC.
Take your pick, there are 286 knives listed to choose from!

The 47 Knife Companies in this list


Nontron / Maserin / Martinez Albainox / Rough Rider / Joe Mogar / Puma TEC / Puma / Herbertz / Linder / SKM / Spyderco / Boker / Moki / Mantis / Opinel / SOG / Tekut / A.G. Russell / Se-Ba / Gerber / Schrade / Boker Plus / Al Mar / Buck / Cold Steel / Bear / Byrd / Kershaw / CRKT / Katz Knives / SanRenMu / Enlan / Magnum / William Henri / Fällkniven / Forge de Laguiole / Knife Kits / Timberline / Unknown / Benchmade / Viper / W.R. Case 4 Fox / Mcusta / Blade-Tech / Kyocera / Beretta / Burnley


Remark
Is there any knife you know of that meets this threads criteria and is not (yet) mentioned?
Or perhaps the handle length (on the list in mm) that I've taken from the company's website-specs are not conform the reality?
Or perhaps you spotted something else?
It would be nice to hear from you, so I can add/change it to the list


Criteria
1. single bladed (folding) knife => important!
2. under 2" blade => not completely necessary
3. under 3" 1/2 handle (89mm) => important!


Note
This comprehensive list is my humble contribution to the BladeForums knife community. As I've put a lot of work into this, perhaps you can also help everybody else who is looking for a small pocket knife and to make sure this thread remains at the top of the "EDC Forums - Knife discussions" list. This you can do f.e by regularly posting nice pictures of knives you own out of the list and/or by telling us something about it (what you like, don't like, recommendations, tips, modifications, new models, ...).

I can't think of anything to add to your list right now, but for future reference the jerk it emoticon is reserved for use in the whine and cheese section only.
 
Ridge Runner is cheap Budk junk.

Your intellectual reply to :D

It is cheap for sure, but a nice design and certainly not junk.
It fits in the category of this thread...

Post something useful here please or don't post at all :p

Only micro-knives, keychain-knives or mini pocket-knives fit in here
 
The Gerber Artifact.

A bit to big for this list I'm afraid...

Gerber Artifact measures 3.5" closed and that is above the 3" limit of mini knives in this thread.
It's also more a multitool than a single bladed folding knife.

Thank you for your input!

Also, to make a more "intellectual" reply about it: If a "knife company" doesn't even have their own website or a customer service dept. they aren't worth dealing with. Also RR's heat treat is nonexistant. Google "Ridge Runner Knives" all you get is Budk. Just giving you a heads up that they really are not good quality.
 
That is a very comprehensive list. :thumbup:

Thank you! I worked hard on it...

With your (and many others) expertise in knives here, I'm sure this list will grow even further :thumbup:

Also found this beauty from Forge de Laguiole (70mm handle)
1270%20BR-2.jpg


And this small Nontron knife
i87201
(54mm handle)

They are recognized as one of the oldest and most traditional French knives.

Nontron is the name of a town in the France's Perigord (Dordogne) region. This namesake town is where the knives developed and have been produced for 500 years! The way the Nontron knife is crafted today is nearly identical to the way it was made in the Fifteenth Century - individual craftsmen using their own hand tools to create a work of art. The Nontron factory is a tiny building housing a small number of craftsmen and antique tools. It is the oldest continuously operating cutlery forge in France. Each Nontron knife is a work of art created by one of only six artisan knifemakers. The blade is forged and not stamped, then carefully tempered in the iron rich water of the Perigord. The boxwood used for the handles of Nontron knives is cut only in the immediate region and allowed to air dry for at least five years before being cut, shaped and finished as a handle. Each Nontron knife is hand decorated with a circle of pyrograved figures of ancient and unknown significance.

If you want a locking knife, the Case "059l SS" is just barely over 3 inches. I think the incredible thinness should reduce its "effective size" a bit.:thumbup:

EDIT TO ADD: I just noticed you have the case peanut and some pen-knives listed above. There are lots of other traditional slip-joint patterns made by various manufactures to look for as well. (small barlows, tuxedos, toothpicks, congress/ half congress, etc...)

Well, I suppose if we are going to include 90 mm knives in with the "micro/keychain" knives, we might as well go 91 mm and include Vic SAKs like the Alox Farmer, Super Tinker, and Swiss Champ.

It seems to me that you didn't understand my previous posts :rolleyes:

Only under 3" (76mm) closed please ;)
