This list is always evolving, but here are my suggestions for pocket knives (the kind you aren’t afraid to actually use). Sorted by price, low to high.

• SAK Cadet
• Ontario Rat 2 D2
• Spyderco Para3 LW
• Benchmade Mini Bugout
• Chris Reeve Sebenza

All are smaller & non-intimidating.

@chet Thanks! I’ve got some more awesome gear I plan on posting in the next few days.
