With an overall length of 9.38", 3.96" of that being the blade, I hardly think that the 806 can be called small.

I don't plan on totally relying on it to solely being my survival blade, I have a BK7 and a Swamp Rat to cover that end. However, in today's society, you can't walk around with a 7" blade strapped to your belt.

Therefore, a large tactical folder has to suffice and fill that role of a survival blade in an urban environment, if the need arises.
