i think i figured it out guys. half-joking. i was looking around my garage and i found these fiskars multi task garden snippers are a straight up mexican gardener murder weapon. lmao the handle is shaped like a bollock dagger and the blade geometry is perfect. doesn't even matter that its a pot metal piece of shit. too bad you'd have to pass off for a landscaper to get away with carrying it around concealed like that lmao comedy option though.

the blade geometry could be more penetration oriented, doubt it would have a problem though. but i really like that peg that stops overpenetration. very possible with a small blade, not likely but it could end your day if that happened. that might be worth the geometry for that alone. i saw some other spydercos i liked the blade shape of better but they didn't have that.
>With a knife that small, no amount of optimization will make much of a difference
i disagree, a lot of edc knives that size are either are too thick of blade stock or have too fat of a belly to do much. some can't even stab into things.
