  • Benchmade 945 Mini Osborne

    The first quality knife I ever bought myself was the larger 940BK, but as time went on I started liking smaller knives. When the 945 came out I had to jump on it because it was just about perfect.

  • Giant Mouse Ace Riv LL Green Micarta

    I love smaller knives along with sheepsfoot blades, thin grinds, and green canvas micarta. This knives checks all of those boxes while being comfy to use and easy to carry.

  • Sencut Scepter

    This smaller flipper is a solid workhorse with its Micarta handle and 9Cr18MoV blade. The 9Cr18MoV blade holds a good edge while not being hard to sharpen, and is very tough for daily use. The Scepter's flipper makes for a snappy opening and it's nice and thin for easy carrying, all while being budget friendly.

  • Rovyvon A1 Gen3 Purple

    This little keychain light packs a punch with a max of 650 Lumens and an easy to use interface. I wish the battery life could be a bit longer on max strength, but you can only ask so much of a light that is 2.25" long! The USB-C charging also helps make it easy to recharge on the go.

  • Kikuichi Kuro 7" Bunka Blue #2 Steel

    This knife is a solid worker in the kitchen that will handle just about anything you need, outside of going through bone. The iron lamination gives it a bit of weight, which a lot of people prefer, and the Blue #2 core steel holds an amazing edge. Since it is not stainless, a little bit of care is needed, but it's not hard at all to keep up on.

    Overall, this is a great workhorse in a small package. The G-10 handles will hold up to a ton of abuse, the D2 steel has great edge holding, and the PVD coating helps to aid in corrosion resistance.
