What's your favorite small pocket knife (blade length not over 3.25 inches)? And why you like it?
 
FAV (most carried) - small regular Sebbie: sheeple friendly, very tough, easy to clean.
FAV (best look & feel) - Spyderco Sage: great looks and ergos, outstanding blade shape & steel.
FAV (go anywhere & do anything) - Spyderco Paramilitary: Big enough at 3.25", excellent blade shape & materials, US made, easy to care for.
 
Kershaw Mini Mojito - 2 3/8" Because - great shape, comfortable to hold, SpeedSafe assisted opening, Stud-lock, totally effortless safety integrated into the flipper. 13C26

Kershaw Mini-Cyclone Ti-ZDP. 3 3/16" Very comfortable shape, Titanium handled framelock, SpeedSafe assist that can be disabled by turning a switch, and an amazing solid (not laminated) DLC coated ZDP blade.

Spyderco Cricket It's tiny bit it packs a lot of cutting power into that tiny blade, probably one of the greatest very small knives.
 
My favorite small knife is my 3 inch Hinderer XM-18. It is a tough knife, and I love the spanto blade. It is a fantastic knife! It is a solid knife.

I also love my small Sebbies as well.

 
Hard to pick just one, you know how it is. :)

Chris Reeve Mnandi - beautifully made, very classy.
Spyderco UK Pen Knife - great design and execution, a pleasure to use.
Any of the Boker Subcom family - another great design, excellent ergonomics.
Benchmade 330 - one of my favorite older BM models, nice materials, a handy little piece.
 
in my bikes' stem-based bento boxes: a Columbia River KISS CRKT
in my messenger bag: Kershaw Leek

(i have to worry about sweat and quick deployment down here)

Recently got a Kershaw Leek CB, but it has really grown on me :) Great ergo, great blade, action, ect
 
Take a peek at my review of David Boye Cobalt folder
Very nice, solid knife,

edited to say, just saw that you're from Thailand?
That's strange as I'm leaving for Thailand next week
to visit some Glass container factories there!
so it's not a vacation type of trip but hope to get
to see some sites while there.

I just bought a Nemesis Imp so I have not had too much time to use it yet but the initial impression is quite good. The fit and finish is first rate, it came Spyderco sharp from the Jeff Hall and it is a nice size for EDC.

My only complaint is the difficulty I have with opening it one handed. I tend to use two hands on something this small anyway.
 
My Favorite is the Ritter Mini-Griptillian (RSK) in M2.

Axis-lock for ease of use, great blade shape for everyday cutting tasks, and the handle shape makes the knife fairly good handling and unobtrusive in the pocket.

Runner-up is the Fallkniven U2, since it has a great blade shape and good handle shape, too.

Great quality and very useful blade.
 
why i likee it?? A .nice selection of tools for every day use. if outdoors, hunting camping ,fishing , I still carry this but I add my buck 119 on my belt or pack.
 
Thats a very hard question, probably a nice wood handled TL-29 with carbon steel blades,
or a buck 112, or a small or medium case stockman, or... you get my point ;-)

Spyderco Delica Wave, 2.9" blade. Small, light, sheeple friendly, has a very strong point; and the wave works great as a bottle opener ;).
 
a modern interpretation of the gentleman knife, I love my Spyderco Kiwi. It is very small and well made and it does not look threatening to others. I often carry it. It is in my opinion also one of the best looking compact knifes (that's why I originally ordered it!)
Meanwhile I just ordered A Fallkniven U2: compact, affordable and unassuming, it also has one of the hardest blades (modern powdered metal technology) on the market.
