Great idea for a thread Peter. You have a very knice collection of small knives.

This little multi-tool is 2.5 inches closed and dates to circa 1890s.

That's a great knife, if I just saw a picture I would have thought it was in the 3 1/2" range.

Thanks Peter.

Do you have an information on your little Husky KH2 knife? I have one just like it but don't know anything about it. I always thought that it looked like a Camillus-made knife.

I thought the same, Kastor/Camillus used the Made in USA tang stamp

Here's a few of my Peanut sized knives (including a Peanut). The Lakota Teal lock back, which is borderline traditional, I've had since sometime in the '70s or '80s, I think. The 'Nut has been all over the SW US and was my edc when we spent some time in York and London a few years back. The Vic was a gift from my youngest son, purchased in Switzerland.

That Easifold is pretty cool, Peter.:thumbup:

I'm not too crazy about knives this small for everyday use. This Imperial Serpentine Jack fits in the category however, as it's 2 3/4".

I get part of the appeal since I've used it as an EDC many times and never felt underknifed. I just prefer something more to hold on to. The old 3 and 4 bladed small knives are great examples of fine craftsmanship. It had to be hard to make those things.

I also have one or two of the promotional key ring knives that were engraved with some company name on the side. I don't have any pics of them, but I'm sure most people here know what I'm talking about. They are the kind with a folded metal handle and three blades, a sheepfoot, a file, and a caplifter/screwdriver.

Only these two for now; a Case peanut and a Camillus pen knife.

Those tiny Ohtas are remarkable, that's a pocket jewel for sure!

All under 3", with a few repeats

Thanks for the photo request.

I love small knives that fit just right in my watch pocket. I've probably posted up all my Peanuts, and recently I've been looking for (and finding ) small pen knives. I also like the three blade small stockman pattern like the Schrade 108OT and this Case and Hen and Rooster:

or this Case small Muskrat:

a couple of tiny Congress, Eye Brand and Schatt & Morgan

Usually the largest knife I carry at work would be 3" or less, and I've never felt underknifed with any of these little guys.

Great knives all, and great thread Pete!

Cheers,
Griff

I don't carry the 2 5/8" pen much since it was my grandfather's and I would hate to lose it but the peanut gets used often. I like the small size and pattern a lot, I should probably look into getting a similar pen knife.

Here's the Case Tiny Trapper I carry almost everyday to work. It's almost the only Traditional knife I have found which completely meets the size limit of a 4 1/2" opened length:

This little 2.75 inch long knife has sterling silver scales hallmarked in 1897. It is marked L & S which was Levi and Salaman and the anchor for Birmingham.

I saw this when you first put it up, and intended to post a few pictures, then forgot all about it.
