What's your favorite watch pocket folder?

[LeatherMan64]

I tend to carry three knives on a day to day basis: a large tactical for defense(started carrying this after my veteran uncle told me "you never know when you might need to leave one in somebody"), a 3 or 4 inch slipjoint for basic edc chores such as food prep, opening mail, and such like, and finally, a small, 2 inch or smaller folder that goes in the watch/change pocket of my jeans. For me, that knife is almost always an older, German made Kissing Crane canoe (carbon of course). However, a few days ago I bought a yellow handled rough rider peanut, and I've put it to use on all the chores that the large slippie would usually do, and I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it handled the workload. It DID in fact bite me within the 1st 24 hours of ownership (didn't Carl say something about this happening to him with all his new peanuts?) but after that it did just fine. SO, my question is, what is everyone's go to "little knife"? I'm getting more and more interested in this class of knives, and I'd really like to see what y'all are carrying.


forgive the long post, I need to work on lowering my word count. Also, if there's another thread that covers the same subject, please forgive my oversight and direct me to it.

Either peanut or Case sway back jack.

I just don't carry small knives very often, but the one true watch pocket model I have is the Swayback Jack.

For a change pocket folder, I'm digging my Spyderco Dragonfly with the greenish G10 scales. It's a little monster of a blade! I'm curious about the Cold Steel micro recon 1 but the lack of a pocket clip and the super aggressive looking G10 has kept me from picking one up.

Really cool Kissing Crane, love that shield :thumbup:

 

[Jack Black]

For me, it's either my Case Texas Jack or Kabar Peanut.

I usually carry a Case Chestnut CV Peanut or a Schrade 807UH in my watch pocket.

Since I collect them ~~ it would be a Case SwayBack Jacks and 95% of the time it is one of the Pearl Jacks.*

I have several smaller knives that rotate through to fill this role.

recently rehandled Schrade 708Y

Schrade 12OT

Craftsman small stockman

Case appaloosa peanut

But if, heaven forbid, I should have to select just one go-to small knife, it would definitely be the Case chestnut bone peanut.

Must be something about big and tall pants. The watch pockets on my jeans can hold some pretty big knives. Works great when you have a hole in your regular pocket .

Whether I have a small jack, like my GEC 15, or a larger trapper, like my BF 12 trapper, they go in my watch pocket.

Carried this 25 (3"oal) in that very pocket yesterday.

 

[Peregrin]

I don't carry it everyday but when I do, it's in my watch-pocket. 2 3/4" and sits horizontally in the bottom of the pocket. Small chance, if any, of it falling out.

This ain't gonna surprise anyone. Of course, I don't have that Pemberton yet....

One like this:

You can tell it rides in the pocket a lot.

Not as small as a peanut, but this is my favorite small knife.

The #25 normally resides in my watch pocket, although these past few days the TC Barlow has been taking it's place in that position. The #25, being smaller, is the least noticeable in the watch pocket and fits there perfectly.
