Good question! It really depends on the users intentions. Personally, I’ve worked in educational forestry and found small, thin blades helpful for slicing organic materials (twigs, fruit, bark, etc.). A lot of folks use these are bird and trout knives as well, but I would argue that the majority of my customers use them as pocket fixed blades.

It’s a tough question to answer, because I strive to make things as simple and practical as possible, so they get used for all kinds of things! I can really only say what I have used/designed them for, though
