Suggest a small (2" and under) locking folder

those are all too big.

I am talking little pen knife. Jester and Ladybug are probalby the only spydercos that are an option

Cricket maybe

Is the Kopa really too big? The blade is slightly over 2", but cutting edge is under 2". It's a very slick, very attractive knife with excellent utility. The nice thing about the Kopa is that even though it's small, it fits the hands nicely due to the design and 50/5o choil. Too expensive though, perhaps?

How about a Kershaw Ken Onion/Frank Centrofante? 2" blade, assisted opening, extremely sharp, very utilitarian wharncliffe blade. The knife itself doesn't have a clip, but comes with a nice leather slip sheath that does have a clip. The 440A blade won't win any edge-holding competitions, but it works well enough, and is easy to sharpen. However, if you're worried about your dad breaking the tip of an Al Mar Osprey (another very nice, small knife), this might not be the right knife for him either.

A.G. Russell Funny Folder? Actually, A.G. Russell makes quite a few classy, small, locking knives. Look at the Gent's Lockbacks and Mini Lockbacks too.

If you can find one, a Benchmade 335 Big Spender (money clip knife) might fit the bill (pun intended).

IDK, but I showed him my Tit. Salsa, and he said that was way too big. The Kopa can't be that much smaller. Overall length is like a 1/2" different.

A knife that is over 5" overall, is too big.

I've been carrying a Spyderco Co-Pilot for about 13 years now.

The Salsa has that shovelish blade shape to it, the thin leaf of the Kopa makes it appear much smaller than a Salsa, just a thought.
