I was speaking about the left example, 17 cm (6.7") long with a blade lenght from 10 cm (3.9"). I think that your four small examples of similar slimness.

thanks. the small ones are rather small... i agree with you that they are more of a souvenir than anything else. they're so small that it's hard to grasp the handle properly. as for their sizes (from largest to smallest):
7 1/4" overall, 4 1/2" blade
6 1/2" overall, 4 1/2" blade
5 1/2" overall, 3 1/2" blade
5 1/2" overall, 3 1/2" blade

Hello Ron,

yes, they are similar small. Only a very small hand can grasp them properly.
