Some knives that I have found nice for small to medium sized kits are made by Gene Ingram. All of his work is very well executed, and considering that they are customs knives quite well priced.
This Naked Pocket model is ideal for the slightly larger than altoids kits. This one has a slim leather sheath but could be put in kydex to save a bit of thickness. This one is in A2 with about a 1.5" blade.
I have this same pattern with micarta scales which increases the usability a bit over the naked version. This one in D2 also with a 1.5" blade.
For the mess tin sized kits this Lacer works quite well. I do the lacing on these knives for Gene so I am a tad bit partial to them, but the leather lace makes for a slim but grippable knife. This one in D2 with kangaroo lace and about a 3" blade.
I have a few other Ingram’s…..
His EDC model and SLK are also sized nicely for kits (green bone handled ones in this image).
