What's the smallest knife you actually like, carry, and use?

I like small knives. I have a SAK Rambler on my keychain and have for well over ten years, and have had some form of small SAK on my keychain for most of my life. I also pocket carry a Case Peanut (Chestnut Brown CV) most days (office, wear dress slacks). I have a special Case Peanut (yellow CV) that was made the year I was born ('77) I carry on special occasions. I also really like Spyerco's Dragonfly. I have two. One is in VG-10 and I EDC it a lot. The other is in H-1 and it's my saltwater knife. The ergonomics of the Dragonfly bely it's diminutive size. It's a lot of knife in a small package.

Vic Recruit. One of my most used knives. Hard use is its middle name.
 

It's 2.5" oal with a 1" blade, I carry and use it every single Day.

I think I win 😁
Some cool little folders posted here👍
 
Case peanut, Micra. I haven't really been bitten by the Peanut bug, but I carry it several times a month, and use it when I do. The Micra is always in my pocket.
 
Ha, ha

You are going to hate me for saying this but.
Other than for food prep I think this little gold colored "box" knife / utility knife is about all most people need for cutting strings, opening packages, sharpening a pencil . . . heck you could even cut the bad end off a garden hose with it before putting on a new connector. (do people still do that or am I one of the last ?). Put a little oil on the hose and or the blade and it would cut right around.

I carry the nice full size dudes like the trapper but is it a must ? Usually not.
I've had it and carried it off and on over the years. Until I got my Spyderco Cricket it was my go to for those tough plastic packages because the blade is so thin and it doesn't cut very deep if you hold it right.

 
My HAP40 Ladybug, tons of cutting power in a super discreete package.
 
It's a Spydie Spin for me. I carry it with a larger blade all the time and it get used a lot! Little guy can cut!!
I also have a CF Chap that is a super slicer! Both great smaller blades!

I have been carrying a Spyderco Delica and it is just about the right size. I just received a Dragonfly that was purchased from another forum member and it seems a little small for EDC.
 
Without a doubt my Spyderco Dragonfly. Goes with me everywhere and I use the heck out of it.
Latest purchase is a Rexford RUT and I am liking it a lot.
Also have a CRKT Burnly Squid that gets some pocket time.
Favorite small blade I have though is my Dervish Silverfish. Makes me happy.
Cheers

I don't, and those types of tasks are exactly what I carry my neck knife for.
( I have a utility knife like that but without the gold colored inlay )
