Top 3 Favorite Sub-3" Folders

MementoMori99 · Aug 11, 2015

This is an offshoot of my top 3 favorite folders thread. Here are my three favorite sub-3" folders, not in any particular order. The top-to-bottom picture order is: LionSteel T.R.E. G-10 OD, Extrema Ratio MF0 w/textured handle and DPx HEAT/F OD.

I like the Kershaw Cryo G10 the Ember and the Kizer Ki3411A1... only three I own IIRC.

Probably a strider PT cc and a benchmade mini grip (or mini ritter). I have bought, traded, sold, and kept many knives and I think those are my top 2 of all time.

You reminded me about my GEC Beer Scouts and Esquire... all under 3" blades.

I guess it would be
1. Saw Cut Beer Scout
2. Tortoise Beer Scout
3. Cryo G10

Those are mostly with blade lengths of 2.3"-2.6" and fairly thick at 0.15"-0.18".

Here's an old thread: Stubby folders

Over built is not my cup at sub 3 inch. I like the Fallkniven U2, Spyderco Lava, and Mini Grip

Mnandi and William Henry's are plush, but more jewelry to me

i usually prefer larger knives, but i recently got one of these new Kizer Walkabout knives. I really like mine so far and i think a lot of bladeforums members will like this as well.

2.91 inch s35v blade and titanium handle framelock for around a hundred dollars

Pretty much all the knives I own or have owned are sub 3" and my top picks are :
1. stubby razel
2. Sheepdog c01c mini
3. Three rivers Class Action (best value for a custom sub 3" flipper)

Runner up dragonfly 2 Nishijin zdp-189

I like seeing threads like this. I might have to try a heat next...

Etna · Oct 7, 2015

All of my 70+ knives have blade lengths of less than 3". Choosing the top 3 is going to be a tall order, but here goes anyway:

Enlan M023

Enlan M012

Third one is a Sanrenmu 7030LUC which I have not shot any pictures with yet.

jrawk · Oct 7, 2015

I am going with

DPX Heat
H&K Mini Axis
GEC 47 Viper
