All About Pocket Knives

I started looking for a simple single blade pocketknife and ran across the MAM brand knives. I have several of the Victorinox florist knives that have one sheep foot blade but I was curious if someone made something a little smaller. I ordered one that's 3'' in a sheepsfoot style. Anyone else seen these knives or own one? I'm trying to keep my expectations kind of medium for now.

No picture(s), then you're relying on guesswork.

I actually just ordered one yesterday. A sheepsfoot ring lock with beechwood. I picked up a Jose Da Cruz in a trade, and it's a great knife. It's another ringlock, so it seems I'm starting something here....

Do either of these two knives come close to what you're talking about or looking for?
JAMESON.
It measures 6 1/4" total length.

VICTORINOX.
It measures 4" closed and 6 3/8" open.

I already have both of those knives, But I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will be sure to post what I think of my new knife when I get it.

Is this the one you ordered? I’ve been looking at them, I have a couple Opinel knives and these look like a good alternative to them with some different blade profiles.

The one I ordered is 3'' and doesn't have the leather strap. Just a plain one to test the waters ha ha. For the money if they're any good I could see me getting a few more.

Just curious here. The blue/grey handled Jameson. Isn't that a cable splicing knife? I had one like it marked "R-20" that I thought might have been a Remington but that would have made it 1940 or earlier. It came with a pretty substantial leather sheath. J.O'.

You're right It is a cable /telecom knife used by phone technicians. It comes as a set in a leather sheath with a pair of scissors, I use mine for removing case backs on pocket watches Another one of my weaknesses.

I got this one in the mail yesterday. It's smaller than I imagined, though it's exactly as was measured and described by the seller. Its super light. I could easily carry it on my key chain if I drill it a lanyard hole. It doesn't have a ringlock, so I wish the blade was tighter. That'll be an easy enough fix though. Haven't used it or sharpened it yet. For $11 dollars it's worth it to me to have an inexpensive knife not made in China.

Good looker! I agree on not having a China knife if possible. Is the handle completely round?

It is. Like a little broom handle. Dare I say.... cute?

If you want a sense for the brand it wouldn't hurt to pay a couple bucks more for a larger one. I like little knives but this feels elven.

Thats probably the one I'm getting. How are You going to fix the blade issue on yours?

I got my MAM knife today. For the price I guess it was an alright purchase. 3'' is too small to be practical for much but it is well made. I like it good enough to look at another one in a different size/style. It's not an OPINEL but it doesn't claim to be.
