I'm in the market for a small pocketknife, something to keep in the watch pocket of my jeans. Looking for no more than 3" OAL. I've been scouring BladeHQ for hours, and not really finding anything that interests me. Recommendations?

Look at the Kershaw Chive, or Scallion. I have carried the Scallion 1620ST for about 20 years it fits in the pocket well. And closed is 3.5"
Kershaw Chive Plain Edge Knife
Kershaw Scallion Serrated Edge Knife
Swiss Army Classic SD.
2.3" long with scissors, nail file and tweezers.
The strength of the blades and hinge is friggin amazing. The flat end of the nail file fits many Phillips screws. You wouldn't believe the force I've put on it turning screws and prying things and it's never bent and the hinge is still tight. I rip open large cardboard boxes with the blade and though the scissors are really small, they work better than not having scissors handy.
@Viper22 , how about an update? Still carrying the Vic or did you move to something else?
