I travel a lot for business to places that have restrictions to blade size and fixed blades. So I have been carrying a Spyderco Dragonfly for years and have grown to love this thing. The blade is only slightly smaller than the delica but allowed into places (such as Boston) that restrict blade length to 2.5". The handle is designed very well to have a secure grip and the best part is that it folds to a very compact size. There are very few cutting chores this knife cannot handle I even use it outdoors.

When size is an issue, I carry a Jester or a Benchmite, depending on whether I'm "dressed-up" or not. A Gerber Ridge with the clip removed is also a great small, thin carry knife.

I LOVE my little Peter Atwood Skeeter, tiny little neck knife, but when I am in public I sometiems use that as to not scare the sheeple...lol, for such a tiny blade it handles many of my daily cutting chores...Its suprising how little of a cuttign edge we all really need to get the job done...

I've got a nice little Kershaw Onion framelock (assisted opening), an Anso necker, and a little Ivan Campos PFB. They are all "pocketable" and useful. The little Kershaw has seen the most use.

I carried a beautiful Cold Steel Tuff Lite for years, until losing it. Haven't seen anything yet to compare in terms of small size and beefy construction. Sure would be interested in a suitable replacement but have practically given up looking.

I carry a Lone Wolf T2 which is a big folder and sometimes gets comments on the size from sheeple.

If I was to carry a smaller folder it would be Spyderco as I have carried an Endura for years and they have smaller models but the same familiar design.

I'd also consider one of the pocket sized fix blade but these tend to be customs and are not sold around here like Spydercos.

Anyone looking for a small fixed blade may want to look at the KABAR TDI. With a custom pocket sheath, it might be just the right mix of size and usability.

For a nice little money clip, the Gerber EAB -- which uses utility knife blades -- might work. The clip looks like it was meant to be used as a money clip. Under $10 at Wal-Mart. :)

Yes, I like small knives, as Boston has a 2 1/2 max blade limit. So, I have some awesome little knives.
