Small multi blade traditional knives, let's see what you got!

[rockgolfer]

Let's see those beautiful little stockman or whittlers or ???. For the sake of the thread, small will be 3 3/8" closed or smaller.

If you are taking new pics, I encourage a top down pic as well to help us gauge how skinny or fat they are (we all prefer one or another, no wrong answer here).

Any pluses or minuses on the design are encouraged as well. Thanks for sharing

This is my dad's knife that I actually took a picture of at lunch. Late 60s small stockman.

Most of my pocket knives are smaller than 3 3/8" closed. I find 2 5/8" to 2 7/8" closed just about the perfect size.


Camillus 49 Tuxedo.

My EDC is 2 7/8" closed. I don't consider it small. I just consider it regular size. Craftsman 9507/Ulster 180 - top knife in photo below.

No question about it. Queen Cutlery No. 26 Small Stockman in WCSB and D2 blades. Low riding Sheepfoot, excellent snap, no rub/play, a Pen Knife size but 3 blades and in the size in question. Firm favourite

GEC Conductors. A fine compact pattern. They should make a Shadow and/or tip bolster version too....

 

[black mamba]

I really like that stainless Conductor, Will!

3⅜" Rough Rider Eureka stockman

3¼" Victorinox Cadet

3⅕" Kane Cutlery swayback jack

3⅛" Robeson Rochester equal end jack

This one along with what I call almost miniature Case Bradford, Not Shown, is my smallest.... Produced between 1902~1909 is a Union Razor pen knife out of Tidioute,PA. At 2 3/8" is amazing. Not your novelty knife but perhaps better fit & finish of most blades today. Action, most would need to hold this in hand to agree, but IMO, it has more than most blades today.... And that is half stops on both ends.

One needs to keep in mind this was a real working knife some 100+ years ago, not a numbered item of today, Traditional pocket knife collecting came some ~50 years later after this knife was manufactuered. Has to make the pocket knife collector of today Think? Maybe....

My two favorites; Camillus made Remington peanut at 2 7/8th length closed, and a Boker 240, at 3 1/4 length closed. I love these little cutters!

A long term carry, the 58mm Victorinox classic. The scissors and screw driver tip make it much more than just a knife.

Every time you post that photo, the word "Exquisite" comes to mind. Such graceful lines!!!

Here's a Sway back jack from Joel Chamblin. Just shy of 3 3/8".

Here's a pic with it paired up with a Joel Chamblin WT. 3 1/4" closed.

There are some great knives shown here. Great thread.

Coincidentally my "tiny's" just landed today. [emoji2]. First pic, far left on the quarter, is a 4-blade Congress. Next to it 3-blade Stockman. The others are just 2-blade Peanuts. And the one GEC Beagle. The fattest of them all, but absolutely grooving it. Definitely putting a big smile on my face.

I have a top-down shot for only one of them; sorry!

Here are several peanuts.

No need to be sorry at all GT. That wood Remington is mighty fine!

Some absolutely stunning knives so far, you all never disappoint!

 

[rockgolfer]

Jake, all those are winners for sure but, the saber ground peanut just takes the cake! Very nice sir.
