I've been carrying a large PJ dp 31 for about a year and absolutely loved it. Then I can across a small 31 with the forever flag. Love at first sight. (if that can happen with knives) Was a little worried about the size difference between the large and small being I've never actually handled one before. I think the small will get more pocket time than the large. Only time I notice it is when my hand brushes up against the lanyard. Personally wish they came in a medium but beggars can't be choosers. So far seems like it will do anything I will ever need it to do. Might be the last knife for a while. Or at least for the year....
