Tuff Lite or Mini Tuff Lite?

[dogstar]

If you could just have one, which one would it be?

The mini looks like it just disappears in your pocket. I guess the larger knife has a reversable clip going for lefties.

Tried the mini, but was too small for me.

CS Tuff Lite vs Mini Tuff LIte

Was looking for a small EDC knife and the CS Tuff Lite series caught my eye. Really like the wharnie design and can't argue with the overall package at that price point. Thought my decision was an easy one until I saw there was a "mini" version as well. So, I am hoping someone that has used...

I don’t have either, but the Tuff Lite looks plenty small enough for small knife work. The mini looks more like a niche tool, like for smaller hands or more restrictive blade length laws. Just my two cents.

Been looking to get a Tuff Lite, but the Rajah 3 already fills the small knife role for me.

I have had my Tuff Lite several years. It is a good size for me. I would not want to replace it with a smaller knife. It is one of my EDC knives. I follow the rule of 2=1, 1=none. I rotate other knives in my EDC, but the Tuff Lite stays in the rotation.

Been thinking about picking up a Tuff Lite, I do like Wharncliffe Blades. These are two of my smaller carries.

I'd go with the regular one. It's still a pretty compact knife, but it's more comfortable in my hand than the Mini.

I carry the Tuff Lite for office work. It is not big enough to scare the office sheep.

I have had both, several Mini TL's, and prefer that one. My son has a fence company and uses the Regular TL, two so far. The first took much hard work before retiring.

well, i do suppose one has to
choose things based upon
ones clearly defined needs.
coupled with perhaps legal or
special social considerations
catering to known sentiments
regarding knife tolerence or acceptance.
minimalist will appreciate the mini.
for my needs, the mini feels adequate enough an urban edc.
i suppose folks blessed with long & large thick fingers really ought to physically test out the grip dimensions first at a brick & mortar store to correctly determine suitability.
