I'm one of those nuts that actually has a knife in the Altoids-size tin.

Not that I don't carry another as well whenever possible (right now I'm working in a "secured" building where it's not). As a matter of fact, in a mall knife store recently, a young lady showing me a knife asked if I carried one. I thought I had three on my person (including the one in the PSK). An actual inventory turned up five, two I had forgotten about...

For years the one that rode in my Altoids-size (Windmill lighter) tin was the "orignal" size Gerber LST, which just fits the long way without having to go diagonal (the Gerber LST Ultralight is much smaller still, but barely usable).



That's now been replaced- the Fallkniven U2 is, IMHO, a much better knife, and is virtually the same size.. even a hair shorter, and a bit lighter. Certainly more solid, and the steel is impressive.



Of course, it costs quite a bit more ($65 street vs $15 street), but I've never been able to budget knives or books...



So far, it's an impressive little blade. Those looking for a tiny, lightweight, last-ditch backup knife, one for a small kit, or an ultralight-minimalist knife for when you're counting every ounce, might want to consider it.

That Fallkniven U2 looks nice.

This is what I keep in my tin:


I paid $13.00 at One Stop Knife Shop. It is the third item from the top.

Fits in an Altoid tin with no problem.

Interesting knife, but not a good illustration.

What with the colored disk "background", my first impression was that you had managed to stock your tin with a miniature pizza cutter. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I keep a SOG 3" 50/50 blade from a PowerLock in mine. Thinkin about adding the Powerlock saw too. $7ea from SOG direct. I used to keep a SAK Tinkerer but that was before I swore off all non-locking knives.

Don't you know the survival value that pizza has? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You've got your carbs, dairy group, vegetable group, pepperoni group. . .

Yeah, its a bad picture, but I don't have a digital camera so I just grabbed it off the vendor's website.

I've got two PCs, two laptops, and two iPaqs, but have never gotten around to picking up a digicam. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

CHEERS!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

How about the SOG Micron?

After more browsing I think the E-Clips looks better.

I had the U2 until my G/F liberated it. It is a superb blade for the size. It is incredibly sharp and holds that edge, sparks well for those who don't believe in hacksaw blades and is very corrosion resistant. Fallkniven made a limited run of 100 F1s in this new steel as a test. Sadly, I couldn't afford one <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Renegades Rebels all of yaw!


A knife in the Psk don't tell Doug.


I am laughing here.

Actually I have toyed with the idea my self and made it work but I have to sacrifices other stuff, so I developed a urban Psk and a standard wilderness Psk.
The problem I had was the size of the tin. There are allot of resourceful people to bad we can find someone who will custom make our tin for us preferably out of aluminum or titanium. If anyone has any ideas please let everyone know.

I actually want to add a small knife to Cody Lundin style kit. I am looking at a Spyderco Jester, plain edge. I gave one to my wife and at first she didnt like it, and I thought she might give it to me. But she is now convinced of it usefullness and wont give it back!!
