I always wondered why there was no modern issue blade based on the Roman Gladius. Arguably the most effective weapon in the Ancient world.

This is the one that sits on my keys everyday. Can't remember which model it is (Spyderco "bug" maybe?) but it's obviously tiny and for my needs, it's great - rarely need anything bigger than for opening boxes and stuff and it's that small I don't feel it in my pocket - just sits there unobtrusively until it's needed.

I had something similar on my dog tags, it was called a mouse knife, maybe 4cm folded. It cut open thousands of ration packs, hootchie cord, hessian and cam nets for camming up SRVs, now it sits on the kitchen island and opens up mail and delivery boxes.
