I should say "tiny friend", but then I'd not be quoting the movie.
I work in a large engineering corporation. Being a typical 21st century corporation, knives are limited to "small knives". But being an engineering corporation, some ijut went and wrote a specification for just what is meant by small. "No more than a two inch blade and no larger than 4 1/2" opened. It's pretty tough to find knives that meet that spec.
I have a couple that do. A spyderco Ladybug, a Buck Colleague, a Vic Classic. I wanted something else.
I asked here about the Case Tiny trapper and Elliott was kind enough to give me the measurements of a Case Wharncliff Tiny Trapper. I found one on sale and have been carrying it at work for about a week. I LIKE IT:thumbup::thumbup:
The name "Tiny" is apt. It really is dimunutive. I showed it to another knife person. He held it open in his hand and couldn't believe it really was 4 1/4". He said it seemed like three. He pulled out a rule and measured it to make sure. (did I say I work for an engineering company?)
I like using a pocket knife to peel an apple everyday. Tiny does this well. Tiny also works well opening bags and boxes and for all the small tasks I encounter in a cube farm. He's plump. Because he is plump, I can get a fair purchase on the handle. This is always an issue with small knives.
Oh and Tiny is pretty good looking. This is as close to "cute" as any knife of mine is going to get. Tiny for sure won't spook the blade challenged.
