Good point. And that's exactly what I carry a back up blade for. I have a primary knife that I use for almost everything, and a smaller back up that I use for spreading butter, making fuzzsticks, pulling stickers, etc. I'm not man enough to use a 6-or 7-in. blade to pull stickers from my hand. I call it a backup blade for lacke of a better term. I suppose I could just call it a little knife, but that lacks flair.
