Thanks to all!
Well, I bought one and it's nothing like I was originally looking for. One thing is, though. I wanted a high quality knife.
"I'm not looking for the the best for the $. I want top notch."
Once I considered assisted knives it opened up a whole new world
outlaw_dogboy mentioned Zero Tolerance knives and I looked them up. My first impression was that there was no way they'd be worth what they were asking. The more I dug the more I realized--they're really hard to beat! I wanted a knife that was a thing of beauty. It boiled down to 2 of their knives, 0770CF 3.25" assisted blade and 0022 with a minuscule 1.8" manual flipper blade on a ball bearing.
I don't have much room in my everyday pockets. Wallet and spare magazine in my left front pocket and, in warmer months, a gun in my right pocket. I do like small knives because I can put them in the coin pocket of my jeans and it's always there when needed. I still couldn't make up my mind. I just ordered the smaller one, and I have a feeling I'll be getting the bigger one for cooler months. It will do 95% of what I expect a pocket knife to do, and it comes with the highest quality steel blade. It wasn't cheap!
I didn't buy it here, but here it is.
The ZT 0022 is the smallest folding knife Zero Tolerance has ever produced and they knocked it out of the park with this impressive Tim Galyean EDC design.
