The reasons that Spyderco offer smaller knives are numerous, but essentially people's hands come in different sizes, and we occasionally find ourselves in social situations that dictate the use of a smaller blade.
Many think smaller versions of the same model are shrunk down; however, this is not so. Spyderco takes the features and engineer/rework them into a more diminutive pattern for every design to reach its utmost ergonomic comfort and maximum performance.
An example is the 79mm version of the Rescue Model. A smaller equivalent of the C14 93mm Rescue also has a flat sabre-ground, SpyderEdge, VG-10 blade that ends in a sheepfoot safety tip.
For smoother thumb rotation, the Spyderco Trademark Round Hole was enlarged, creating a prominent hump to position the thumb on while cutting.
