I don't like tiny knives. Anything under a 3" blade and under 7" oal is a toy and a good folder can replace in my rotation. I'm in the woods with my blades which are users. I don't buy to carry in the office to open letters and boxes. I find knives like the runt, Esquire or any 3 finger knife to be completely useless. Sorry to rattle you knife collectors as I'm not a collector but a user.
Yay! More for me!
Seriously, I kind of see your point. Under 3” of blade length and a folder is a fine way to go. I still rotate a CRK folder in when I want something thin and light. Still, it doesn’t do anything more than my small FF’s, isn’t as comfortable in the hand, and it does take more time to maintain. So in general, I prefer small fixed blades for most applications when I leave the home.
At home or in the woods, I love me a 4” blade 8.5”+ OAL knife.
