Pics of sub 3" folders

[sjhong]

I've been collecting and using knives for a while now and I'm kinda set on my likes and dislikes. Of course, things can change for whatever reason but I made peace with the fact that, living where I live and working where I work, my perfect EDC knife is a sub 3" folder.

I do have my preferences. Although the blade may be small, the handle must be comfortable and allow for a four finger grip. I also love premium steels, like ZDP-189, CTS-204P, and CPM S110V.

Below is my current EDC rotation:

Rockstead Hizen in ZDP-189, Native 5 CF in S110V, Dragonfly in ZDP-189, G10 Dragonfly in VG-10.

For a long time I've also carried a Small Sebenza Insingo, which was given to a (then) girlfriend.

Please post pictures of your favorite sub 3" folders in this thread. I'd love suggestions for my collection.

Thanks.

Isn't the Hizen the smaller Rockstead?

Thanks. I always get confused between those two. Mine is the Hizen, not Higo.

I guess one day I will evolve into traditional folders. That one is a beauty. And for slipjoints or friction folders, I wouldn't even need it to be a four finger grip knife.

All of my knives are less than 3 inches, so I'll just post my newer ones:

Enlan M023:

About 72mm, give or take a little due to parallax.

Enlan M08-2

67mm blade length.

Dragonfly 2 (with some Stone brew that I need to get more of)

SanRenMu 7056LUF-GHP-T4

Designed by Liang Gang. Definite proof that SanRenMu and Real Steel are related in some way.

64mm blade length. Less than 70mm, as expected of the 7xxx series


SanRenmu 7084LUX-PK

This appears to be a totally new model by SanRenMu, I have seen it offered in only one Chinese ecommerce sites for sale to date.

This 'WindRunner' designer's name is showing up on quite a few of SanRenMu's new folders.

The image shows 64mm length, but it's actually a little shorter than that.
