Whats your favorite little fixed blade?

Spartan Blades Enyo is an awesome little blade. The kydex sheath allows for neck or inside the waist band carry
 
My favorite right now is a Scott Gossman micro Kephart. I have huge paws, but it is just manageable for me, even moreso after I put a lanyard on it. Unobtrusive, rides very comfortably on my belt. Great EDC blade.

Ties for runner up are my Blind Horse boat tail scandi, and the Dozier Buffalo River I just got in a trade.
 
My RKK Snitch is here. Here it is with my other little fixed blades and yes its the smallest of all

Here are three little knives made in the USA of the better for the small blades steels - Gerber s30v, Krein's Dogfish CPM154 and Snitch ATS34.

And the Snitch being the smallest and the thinnest of the three shines as the wicked sharp cutter. Fits my small emergency box very well too!

I like it and think this is one underrated little blade!

Three great little fixed blades. There's no way I could pick a favorite, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. The Swamp Warden isn't mine but I liked it so much I've got two on order. BTW, don't be misled into thinking my Izula doesn't get use. This one is for sheath making, my user is stripped and worked hard daily which is exactly what I plan on doing to one of the Swamp Wardens when they arrive. I can't wait.

What do you mean???? :D
Majority of the cups in the pile as well as the ones which did not make to this pic came of the Belgian Abbey beers :)
 
Here are all my small fixed blades:
(The pink one was a gift, as I would never buy a pink knife.)

I've tried several over the years. The KSF/Sharpshooter leather sheaths give one quite some choices. The original smallish sheath they made would take my favorite pocketable knife - the Bark River 'Huntsman' - and a 2 x AAA River Rock LED flashlight. The larger sheath they make - the 'hunter' style - will take a Surefire E2DL Defender and a B R 'Journeyman' - but needs a back pocket.

The 'Huntsman', left, below, followed by the Benchmade 201 'Activator+' and a CPM154 bladed Buck 192 Vanguard for scale comparison, is a healthy 'little' knife. The 3" blade is of .187" A2 with a black Micarta handle. It is easily pocketed with just it's included sheath. Convex edged, it is deceptively sharp. The handle is necessarily short - but useful, even in my medium+ sized hands, possibly due to it's thickness. The choil and NS finger guard are a nice touch, safety wise. The other two are nice knives - but not pocketable.

A popular model, the 'Huntsman' hasn't been in production for a bit - you may have to hunt for one - or wait a bit. A decent pocketable fb.
