Who else loves carrying their "mini" knives?

I got my "mini", smaller knives out over the long weekend and snapped some pics. I really enjoy carrying these, especially in my office work environment and summertime in jeans, shorts, basketball shorts or swim trunks. Yes, they may be on the small side but they all punch way above their weight class and are very capable of anything I personally throw at them.

Small knives, but very capable. I wouldn’t call them “mini” though. These are mini:

I was on vacation at the beach for the long weekend and carried nothing more than a Spyderco ARK.
Short, handy, saltwaterproof, and serrated for fast cutting of things I am likely to need to get through while around the ocean, it's really been all I have needed for 95% of the time. I did break out the Inkosi to slice some limes for some drinks though ;)

I love that handful. :)

What models are the top two?
 
I've made no secret of my penchant for carrying the SE Dragonfly daily, clipped in the corner of my back pocket where it goes unnoticed until needed. Sometimes I feel like I carry on about in every one of these small knife threads. The fact is, however, that I just find it to be extremely useful. It allows me to have the utility of the SpyderEdge in my carry, while still having my primary blades being the plain edge that I prefer. In fact, it is such a mainstay in my carry and is so unobtrusive in the pocket that I often find myself forgetting to take it out for my EDC thread shots.

I usually carry an H1 bladed one swapped into Zome, but I also have one swapped into Pakkawood.

Another thing I've really taken to lately is the idea of the mini auto, sparked when I picked up a Launch 10 on a whim. Now I find myself drawn to the idea, and this will probably be a focus for me in the near future.

So let's see; that'll be a primary modern folder, a traditional, the aforementioned SE Dragonfly, and a mini-auto in the pockets. That's not a bit much is it guys? Nah, what am I thinking? Just the right amount ;)

Wait...That leaves me without a fixed blade 🤔

My "Mini" knives are not so mini. I love my BM 615 "Mini" Ruckus but it's hardly small. Same for my "Mini" CQC15.
 
Just great pics everyone! Thx. That H1 Zome, nice hike.
I have a Bugout Mini Storm trooper wearing CF-Elite scales in front shirt pocket. Sweet small all black 1.46 ounces of s30v slicing goodness...
that needs a better pic to hang with this crowd.
