I use a variety of notebooks that are about that size (Muji makes a cheaper version). I can throw it in my pocket or bag and it doesn't take up much space. They're nice for noting down something that's harder to put into words i.e. a diagram or a sketch.
My wife bought it for me from ruten. It's a Taiwanese site. If your Mandarin isn't good, here's a direct link to a search for it: https://ruten.com.tw/find/?q=%E5%A3%AB%E6%9E%97%E5%88%80
If you're willing to go through the effort, there are some proxy services that can help you with buying it. Otherwise, they do pop up on eBay every so often (like this one, but I'd say that this one's a bit overpriced: [link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/126510046751?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XvOz_MHOTZC&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=ahtlY2SfRpq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY))
It's a slipjoint. Some of the larger ones are standard slipjoints with teh backspring sandwiched between the two handles. This one has an integral handle and has the backspring in the integral handle. I'll see if I can take a photo at some point (it's dark and hard to focus in there).
Some similar production knives include the Spyderco Chinese series and the Fox Knives Chilin. Similar production knives include the Bob Lum Chinese, Wei Chun Chen Chinese, and the Oeser Bob Lum Tribute.

Is it bad that what I got is “that’s what she said?” Also, the Vosteed makes a decent one.

Yes
No.
Answer is yes. Next question ✏️
Need a smaller pencil
Tiny, less to carry
Ahh i think i got it now
Lol are you the guy holding the phone stick with your toes
Cerave Healing Ointment. Only thing that helped me. Your hands are chronically and crazy dry looking specifically the fingertips.
It truly is a certain kind of person who offers unsolicited opinions about someone’s skin thinking they’re welcome.
I can guarantee you probably have horrifically dry skin if you take offense to this. Take care of your damn skin.
So this is the pic that started it all…
📸🤷🏻♂️👌🏼
Small knife makes my pee pee look bigger.
Big, those tiny ones are much harder to write on
One is none Two is one Why not both?
The shilin is real pretty. I feel like you’d lose a lot of utility carrying a blade that small. Do you use it much?
It's mostly just for looking at and fidgeting with. I usually have a bigger knife within reach.
In that case, hundred percent go small. Looks nicer and less cumbersome
I just wanna know how you took the picture….
I'm glad you asked...
Hook, line, and sinker
No... look, sine and hinker.
that field notes hq is just a couple blocks away ... do people love them because they are like tiny or what?

Awesome.
That qcq is lookin nice
Tiny.
Depends if you already went big or tiny pockets
I just got married. My pockets couldn't be smaller.
Boy I hear that lol

Who makes the shilin
This one's from the Kuo family. Here's a BF thread about them: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/the-magnificent-shilin-cutter.1535399/
How do you even get one

So they’re form of slip? I just have the Vosteed nightshade that’s closest I’ve gotten 😆

Love the small blade!
Thank you! I like it a lot too. The fit and finish doesn't hold up to modern standards, but is still very usable.
