    The Knives of Alaska feather weight hunter in D2 steel - nice knife, I have the bird and trout version in green G10. Very slim and very light. Solid liner lock design that is easy to manipulate and safe. At 108mm long folded, I find mine a little too long for comfortable pocket carry and too long to go in the coin pocket of my jeans. Put it in a belt pouch and you are good to go.
    These are available from NZ supplier Knives of Alaska Featherlite Hunting Knife, D2 Tool Steel - 395FG

    W.R.Case Sod Buster - this is definitely the knife size for pocket carry, if you get the "Jr" model which is 90mm closed length. There is a bigger version that is again around the 118mm long and you have the same problem as the KOA above. My GEC #15 is 90mm long and this is the best pocket carry size. Sod buster is not a lock blade. These are also available in NZ.
    W.R. Case Sod Buster Jr Pocket Knife - Jigged Rosewood Handle 00471
    W.R. Case Sod Buster Jr Pocket Knife - 80502
    W.R. Case Sod Buster Jr Pocket Knife - Jigged Amber Bone Handle 245

    Larger sod buster - W.R. Case SOD Buster Pocket Knife - 00092

    Can't comment on the CRKT.
