I would absolutely buy one. How ever, if we are prioritizing, I would like more variants of the lil native.

More Wharncliffe Lil Native Steels, a Hawkbill Lil Native, Tanto Lil Native, etc.

But yes I'd be interested in a Lil Para.

I'm using the 4V Lil Native at work currently.

Or...we can get some new ground up models in that size?

Getting close to a compression lock Dragonfly.

Call it a compression lock Dragonfly, lil para, etc etc... whatever it is, I'm in!

I would be interested, but I really like the Microjimbo, (is that what it's called?), so I don't know if I'd need both.

Meh, Too many other small knives to choose from.

Sorry, there are other designs that make more sense to me. But I always support options.

It has been over 12 years since we lit a spark in Eric’s mind about creating different sized Para Militarys.

Now we have the Para 3 and the coming Military 2.

Maybe: there is already a plan or maybe; a prototype sitting around somewhere at the Spyderco office for this one.

A keychain knife without a bias towards close would be flat out dangerous.

Keychain knives are tossed around fairly mercilessly. IMHO, only a slip joint or back lock would be reasonable.

That's a point to consider. Maybe a keychain "PM2" with a pouch that has a keychain? Thank you for your input.

IMO, keychain knives need some sort of safety like the autonomy does. Even the close bias of a back lock isn't going to stop something from snagging on the hole and opening it when you pull your keys out.

My DIY solution was to 3D print a clip that snaps onto the hole and holds it shut. A keychain PM2 with a safety switch could work. Whether the comp lock could be ergonomic at the size and whether many people would buy one is another question entirely. I find watch pocket knives a lot more useful in general.
