Same Knife, Different Sizes?

The only pairing I have is a large and small Sebenza with mammoth bark ivory inlays. I try to only get the size that suits a particular model the best, but when Chris Reeve discontinued the mammoth 21's I couldn't decide which size to get. I figured I'd get one of each and later sell the one I didn't like as much, but I ended up keeping both.
 
Almost everytime I got the smaller knife first and later on the bigger version, I ended up selling or giving away the small one. For cold steel, it's always as large as possible or nothing imho.
So I only own the biggest versions possible atm. Except for the spydie mili/para linup, I got the para 3 and the c36 mili. But they are different enough in there designs to keep and love them both as the individuals they are😆
 
I rarely buy Mini versions of a knife, but I find the Adamas full size and mini to be different enough that I am glad to have both.

I carry my full size as my EDC work knife. The mini gets the nod when I visit a place with a sub 3.5" length restriction or if I am just going for a leisurely hike and don't want anything overly heavy yet want a robust folder.
 
The only ones I can think of right now are the Buck 110 and 112 and the Cold Steel Tuff Lite and Mini Tuff Lite. I also prefer the larger knives.

I used to collect custom hunting knives and have several versions of the classic Loveless hunting knife. I ordered a couple from different makers that I heard about through word of mouth on the internet. I was surprised that they were slightly different in size. I've never handled a real Loveless so I don't know what size they are so I don't know which of mine is more faithful to the original.
 
I have a Large Sebenza 31 and a Small Sebenza 31.
I have the Large SHF and the Small SHF.
I'm looking for a something to pair up with my Hinderer XM-24...
 
I have several large and small Sebenzas, but they are all subtly different, for example a lg 21 thuya and a sm 21 spalted.
i have a PM2 and a Para 3 LW.
I have a few Delicas and Enduras.
I have a N5 Salt and a Native Chief.
 
With most knives that have multiple size options I tend to try both sizes and just keep one or the other.

For example I kept the PM2, sold the Para 3; kept the large CRK's, sold the small; kept the mini Tolk, sold the regular; kept the LEXK, sold the EXK. I do have both a VECP and ESV, but prefer the VECP; and I have multiple full size and mini RSK's but prefer the mini.

Eklipse FTW! Bowie, Wharncliffe, Tanto, spearpoint, swedged spearpoint, harpoon spanto…etc.. you name it, they made it. Perfect size knife With amazing ergos if you ask me…here’s my EDC Eklipse Bowie. One of my all time favorites, a little thick behind the edge, but these are practically indestructible.
