Small pocket knife recommendations?

[SamplingNature]

I am not a knife guru, but I work in a mechanics shop, as well as work in lawncare, a knife is a necessary tool in my EDC! I have two quality pockets knifes in my EDC. These knifes are................

Schrade SCH911DBS Knife

Alas, Wenger Swiss Army Knives are no more. Fortunately, it seems like Victorinox has implemented some of Wenger's better designs into their knives, and Victorinox makes very good knives themselves.

Received this Rough Rider Cub Backlock two days ago, 4 inch overall. Will have a look how useful it is despite its diminutive size.

It depends on what you generally cut, of course. Nine times out of ten these days I am opening packages, tape and occasionally cutting string. So a tiny knife will do it.

Lately I’ve been buying and cleaning up tiny antique pen knives. You can get them super sharp, and they take up zero room in the pocket. For a guy that drives a desk most of the time, it will get it done, and nobody in the office will bat an eye if you produce it.

I have a couple of these tiny old buggers as well and yes you can get them scary sharp.
