Some of my favorite knives are small (blades less than 3'') locking folders with wood, bone, delrin/micarta/etc. I'm interested in seeing what other people have. I'm posting this in General rather than Traditional, because some locks or other features may not be considered 'traditional'. Anyway, here's a crummy picture of some of mine:

 
The two knives below the Copperlock interest me, what are they?
 
I had a few lockbacks from various companies the only one I didn't like was the Case mini copperlock. No offense, it's a beautiful knife it just didn't fit my hand right. My personal favorites are GEC 72, 42 and Buck 112.
 
The top one is a Rough Rider Lockback Canoe... sort of an odd duck but I kinda like it! :)

Perhaps a little larger than what you had in mind, OP, but the Mercator K55K is light and thin...

More of a modern design, the Fallkniven U2 is an excellent little lockback...

Oh and I think this would do well in Traditional, theres nothing non -traditional about lockbacks
What exactly do you think keeps them "modern"?
Likin' the blades by the way
 
I didn't want it to be limited to the boundaries of strictly traditional features. I believe certain locks (such as the Case Russlock), and some types of liner locks wouldn't be considered traditional.
 
Great Eastern makes a liner-lock version of the #55 Hound Tooth pattern. There are a few different flavours to choose from as well. I opted for a slip-joint variant in Mexican Bocote...
