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.
 
My two favorite folders happen to be sub 3 inch.

Vic Classic
Case Peanut.

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
 
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
 
my top under 3" blade length knives:

1. zt 0900
2. spyderco techno
3. spyderco delica 4 zdp-189

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

For those who are interested, I updated my top 3 favorite sub-3" folders list in post #1. It now includes the following: DPx HEAT/F OD, Extrema Ratio MF0 w/textured handle and LionSteel T.R.E. G-10 OD.
 
Kingdom Armory Mini Samaritan (G10 version), Les George ESV (G10 version as well), and the Graham Stubby Razel are high up on my list.

Spyderco Dfly 2 ZDP-189
Brous Bionic

That's all I own in that category.I want a Spyderco Dice though.
 
Small Regular Sebenza
Small Classic Micarta Sebenza
Kerry Hampton KHnutbuster
 
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...
 
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:
