Your Midget Knife

I have lots of small knives. Got a two inch blade length limit at work. My most frequently carried knife at work is a Spyderco Manbug, with the notable exception in the next paragraph.

I carried a Vic Classic for decades, then switched to a Rambler (same size but with an added cap lifter blade). I found that if I carried it on my key ring, the blades were not useful because my keys got in the way when I tried to use it. But I also found that if I just carry one free riding in my pocket along with my keys, the blade was easy to use and quite adequate for a lot of tasks for which I might normally use a large knife. It's hardly ever the only knife I carry. But I'm also hardly ever without it.

Now that you mention it when I carried that Leatherman thingy it was a pain to use when attached to my keys. At the time though I was also carrying a small flash on the ring.
Now I got even more keys; apartment with security, classroom, car with remote, various locks, etc. so I didn't put my Midnight Manager on there thinking it was getting to be a bit much.
Hard to work a small blade when it's attached to two pounds of keys!
 
Was bad last year when I classrooms in two other buildings.
My room also got broken into so I had to put locks on everything.

There have been some "smalls" threads over there. I think Jackknife convinced me to give a Case Peanut a try in a thread over there. :D At that time I was carrying #42's and a Vic 111mm two-layer or both about the same size.
