Pocket knives for everyday carry have a blade length of about 70-90 mm. This is a good length for most purposes just enough to feel like you’re holding a knife rather than a peeler, while still allowing you to use the knife one-handed. But as the knife market has grown exponentially over the past few years, there has been a noticeable shift towards smaller quality knives, almost comparable to key chains. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, small Pocket knives cause much fewer questions and sidelong glances from others, and secondly, small knives are almost invisible when used every day. In addition, they all look very stylish and charismatic. If you are looking for a quality small knife (or keychain), below is a list of some cool models from different manufacturers.
1. Scrimshaw Pocket Knives
This model was created by Scrimshaw Pocket Knives in association with Rick Hinderer, one of the makers of the knife. In addition to its size, the Scrum Shaw Pocket Knife has a very unusual shape element that allows the grip of three fingers. This ensures good retention of the knife and, consequently, exceptional cutting power. The knife blade is made of 3Cr13 steel, the main advantage of which is good corrosion resistance. The handle can be made of copper or the popular G10.
