Small knives, big uses

Mini knives are small fixed blades and folders, often carried on a cord around the neck or clipped near a pocket. People use them to open boxes, cut cord, trim fishing line and handle the little jobs that a big knife makes clumsy.

Because they weigh almost nothing, they get carried more often than a full-size knife. That habit is the real reason people buy them.

Neck knives and mini folders

The neck knives here include the Boker Plus Mega Mini Neck Knife, the Cold Steel Mini Tac Beaver Tail Neck Knife and the Cold Steel Mini Tac Skinner Neck Knife, which has a serrated edge. The Skinner is the least expensive piece on the page at $39.97.

If you prefer a folder, try the Cold Steel Mini American Lawman Folding Knife for $73.97 or the Cold Steel Mini AK-47 Folding Knife for $89.97. Both fold flat and clip to a pocket.

For a gift or a collection, the Boker Solingen Special Run Mini Damascus Folding Knife is the showpiece at $249.97.

Which mini knife suits you

Ask whether you want it hanging at your chest or sitting in a pocket. A neck knife is quick to reach and stays out of the way, while a folder keeps the edge closed and feels safer in a bag.

Edge style matters as well. A plain edge is easier to sharpen, and a serrated edge handles rope and webbing with less effort.

Remember that a small handle can be tight in a large hand. If you plan to do more than light cutting, pick a mini that your whole hand can still grip.

Carrying and care

Rinse and dry a mini knife after it gets wet, and put a drop of oil on the pivot of a folder now and then. Keep a neck knife in its sheath so the edge stays protected against your clothes.

Questions people ask

What are those mini knives called?

They are usually called mini knives, neck knives or small folders, depending on whether they hang from a cord or fold into the handle.

Is it illegal to have a small pocket knife?

Rules differ by state, city and place, and some locations limit blade length or how a knife is carried. Check the laws where you live and where you travel before you buy.

What is the best tiny knife?

It depends on how you carry it. A neck knife is fast to reach, a small folder rides safely in a pocket, and either works well if the handle fits your hand.
