I searched & didn't see a thread about this, so let's see some small & lightweight knife pics, modern or traditional, fixed or folders. A quick ID would be nice but not necessary. Let's see some small knife love!

When I think small, I always think of my Rike Hummingbird.

My biggest issue with small knives is the handles, not the blades. I have an XXL sized hand and need a larger handle for optimum control. I prefer a handle at the minimum to be 4 3/4", between 5"-5 1/2" is best for me personally.
A thick fob can help extend the effective grip length on a short handle . Like on Folts Minimalist types .



Same concept using a key chain folder :

I have big hands too but if the design is good enough for a three-finger grip that's okay with me.
