I know what you mean DOD...I have about 4 other "pairings" myself...but I asked the question after pondering which of these I would pick if I had to choose. It is'nt easy when you enter that zone of "they are all potential favourites"..LOL.

Momaw, "small" means a small fixed blade...or did in my mind's eye when doing my post. It could be a "medium" size knife if it is what you "pair" up with a larger blade when choosing your "two".
