Kizer Mini Sheepdog: Best EDC Knife for Small Hands? By 555 Gear

The Kizer Mini Sheepdog is another example of my favorite genre of everyday carry knives, "little big knives," which take big and bold designs and puts them in a small package. This knife in particular seems well suited for 3 fingers use for adults or for smaller hands like those of my 10 year old son who likes it a lot. Quality of materials and construction are top notch especially for a sub $100 knife and it has been a pleasure to carry. I like the liner lock and the ODG color of the scales. I also compared to a couple other well-known nice similar in style, the Spyderco Techno and the CRKT Mini Pilar.
