Smallest Spyderco you would carry in your pocket?

If I’m traveling to some place with potentially stupid knife laws, I throw a Roadie into my pocket.

It’s a surprisingly handy little knife. I wouldn’t want to try cutting a burrito with it though. ;)
I do the same. Own two now because I was so surprised by the usefulness and was worried they may get discontinued.
 
Manbug has been my EDC for the last 10 years or more. Just enough extra grip and the belly is nice. Carrying the ZDP-189 Manbug with a HAP40 in the box for the future.
 
Actually I need to modify my post above, Manix 2 lightweight. Just bought the all black dlc version with removable hardware and at 2.9oz, it's barely noticeable in my pocket. Quite an engineering marvel at how light yet substantial/solid feeling in hand- I think it's my new favorite. For me weight plays a larger part in carry-ability and since my front right pocket is dedicated to a knife I think for me it's the largest knife I can carry without noticing, and the 3.5oz and less range is the sweet spot. Endura 4 actually is quite light especially when compared to my 8oz ZT0200 which doesn't see a lot of pocket time. Since the endura is so slim it also carries like a much smaller knife and is a fav of mine too.
 
I find the Mcbee to be quite useful for small occasional situations like box and package openings, zip tie and tags cutting. And it slips perfectly in any jeans fifth pocket.

My CF Dragonfly is my smallest Spyderco. It doesn’t get that much mileage but when I carry it, it’s usually for something important.
 
Wegner Mouse. 2" blade, but the designer used it on a mule deer :)
 
Carry a Dragonfly 2 with a lanyard instead of the clip, and an 83 or 91mm SAK of your choice with a bright handle (just the standard red would do). Dfly for one handed stuff, SAK for everything else. An SAK is kind of hard to argue with, especially if it has scissors.

These are the smallest I carry. Yo2 should have been here too, but my favored knives that I had a chance to use a lot are the Dfly, Cricket, Dodo and just got a Ladybug to use, it is a real user. They are all serious cutters.
