Small Knife Suggestions

[Two Dogs]

Does it have to be a folder? I edc a fixed blade. A Bark River Blackwater might fit.

The smallest of the kabar/dozier folders....good aus 8 and back lock
Great little knife at 1 oz

Ooooh... that is too tiny haha... Then again, ladybug/manbug would be my recommendation, but if you want a clip, dragonfly in zdp 189 is something that you can't overlook

Yeah, not to derail too much, but the Bemchmade 482 is definitely a great, small knife.

The problem most (including myself) seem to be having when recommending anything is that he needs the blade to be < or = to 2.5" long while also being < than .5" wide (or tall I guess - afaik, the measurement from edge to spine). Additionally, he'd prefer a pocket clip. The problem with many of Spyderco's smaller folders is that the blades are short, but fairly wide.

I really hope he finds what he wants and shares the result with us, because this is a category that I truly can't think of a recommendation that will satisfy him. (I like knife recommendations because it allows me to give entry points to new knife people)

Thanks to all for your time to help me. I went with the Case Teardrop Jack as a compromise with reality, absolute requirements, desired features and cost. If it is borderline in dimensions, I hope its' soft graceful appearance allows passage. At the risk of revealing my age, I have not had a knife like this since grade school.
