Tiny Knives, Whatcha’ Got?

Speedo66 · Apr 11, 2020

Here are a couple of tiny knives, keychain, whatever you want to call them.

The top one is an Imperial, all brass with a tortoise shell like inlay, stainless steel blade.

The lower is a Colonial with celluloid scales and brass bolsters, carbon steel blades.

They’re both sharp and have tight actions.

Let’s see what you’ve got!

Here’s one made by the Sami people (Laps) of northern Sweden.

Bone handle with carbon steel blade.

A well worn and abused SAK and not much used Spyderco Bug.

I carry one of these every day... this particular one is my beater that was found in the parking lot at work, never claimed through HR and after a while it found its way to my desk and my pocket. I have a similar knife that is jigged red bone. Also a few toothpicks, and a pearl handled case pen knife... but this is my go-to anymore. I generally dont need more, and if I do then it’s in my desk drawer at work, in my car, or on the nightstand.

That makes me want to try making a blade... something I have no business in attempting.

I never leave the house without a Victorinox classic on my keyring.

These were handy for a photo OP...

A really old case stockman that belonged to my mother's grandfather.
...and a little three blade stockman that my sis gave me for my bday.

Newt Livesay Zipper and an old Tekna neck knife.

Both reminiscent of WWII OSS knives.

Ok, here are a few of the smaller knives around the place...

The top knife has a damascus pattern blade. The bottom one is made by Maserin in Italy.

A better pic of the Maserin.

And a better picture of the one with the damascus pattern blade. The pattern is kind of hard to see in the picture. For one thing, the entire blade is tiny and for another, the pattern is very fine--not a lot of bold lines in it. I think the scale material is some kind of a carbon fiber composite--it doesn't show well at all in the picture.

Here's a picture of a tiny knife with a larger knife for reference. The tiny knife has an S35VN blade and micarta scales.

This knife is a bit larger. It's next to an old SOG Bowie for size reference.

Definitely fit the tiny knife category, and with enhanced features. Very nice!

I'm growing fond of those toothpicks.

Can't recall where I got this, maybe a tag sale or flea market?

Not extremely tiny, but I like it....

From top to bottom.

1 An all stainless, lock back keyring knife from Taiwan. 1 7/8" blade, 2 .5 " scale.

2 One I made from a piece of file left over from another project. 1 7/8" blade, 2 .25" Oak scales. Resides in the kitchen and is called the Amazon knife, as it is used to open boxes, from Amazon.

3 An Imperial Prov USA. 2" blade, 3" speckled celluloid scales.

4 An Owens Shirley Kuri neck knife, comes, with kydex sheath and neck chain.
1.5" razor blade, 4" overall. Green micarta scales with very comfortable choil.

I've always been a sucker for those little Mexican tourist daggers, vest-pocket knives and Ladies knives.

They all seem to be at the other house just now but I do have these in the desk here.

I wish I could find my doggone Tiffany & Co SAK! :cuss:

Smallest knife I have is a titanium dog tag with a beveled edge. Picked it up from the Ft Benning PX years ago, mostly as a novelty item. For small practical knives I have used a Kabar LDK and a SOG Mini instinct. The SOG was just returned to me after the first time I used it.

I couldn't leave out my tiny SAKs:

Little Spyderco's.

ApacheCoTodd · Apr 12, 2020

Little bitty SAK from the first company I contracted for after retiring.

Surprisingly useful - if you can remember that it's in your pocket.

Turns out, the nail-file/screw driver is just the thing for misbehavin' ignition points on my Scout and Willys.

Here's a few.

ApacheCoTodd · Apr 12, 2020

Found one of my little Mexican daggers. Oddly, in a box of reloading stuff.

You can see how one led me to make a miniature V-42 out of one. It came out great and I did up a scale horse-hide sheath as well.

My late mother gave me this little knife several years ago. She got it in high school on a class trip to New York City. Don’t remember the purpose of the trip, and I can’t ask her..... yet.

Yikes. I need to clean it up.
