That's where I was with modern knives. I have grown to like the small knives and I want to try out a couple modern knives with ~2.5" blades to compare with my SAK experience.

Have you tried out any of Fallkniven’s little folders? I have a U2 I can send your way if you wanna give it a try

 

[22-rimfire]

Lee D That is one I want to look at. I'll just buy one but thanks for the offer. That is very generous.

No problem, it’s a great little knife that compliments a Vic well. Lightweight, great steel, and as people say, “it punches above it’s weight class”

View attachment 1377832 I like to pack a 5 1/2" or 7" blade so as to be ready to whack up fruits and vegetables. Pineapples and melons are my specialty.

Count yourself lucky. Where I work the limit is a 2" blade.

There is a NO knife policy where I work
So carry this one mostly
When I’m not carrying this one

Ever cut one while driving? ...talk about distractions.

You have to eat them to know!

I'm full of enough hot air without adding musical fruit to the menu while driving.

Added: Lee D Already looking at the U2 and perhaps the little Native. The U2 is pretty traditional. You have given me the "itch" again. Even @Hickory n steel might like it. Wish it came handles other than zytel. I know I have some old Schrade lock backs that would work too.

LOL!

I wasn’t overly dazzled by the zytel when I first held the U2 in my hand (“I paid $80 for this?), but that 1.5oz weight is so nice in a pair of shorts

There's the TK series, and the U1c slipjoint, but the price jumps a wee bit.

Yeah. The U1 too if I want to spend the money. On the other side of the coin, I'm looking at small Arno Bernard fixed blades. I generally have ignored the itch for nearly 6 months.
