Ta, I guess a better q would be if anyone has had problems with the lack of locking on smaller ones? E.g. unfolding in pocket = ouchy leg.
A 5 would be legal for edc and so cheap it's hardly worth umming & ahhing about though... #buyer
I'm also leaning towards no.10 & no.12 outdoor with firestriker for a fuller set.

The same function as any small pen knife really.
If you find it useful to have something small and unlocking to cut things with then buy it. Definitely better than those random hipster edc Japanese things that were doing the rounds a few years ago.
Personally I think a no. 6 is the smallest I'd want. I picked one up for my bike tour as there were no no. 8 in the shop at the time. It now lives in the car in a little airplane wash bag along with a mini torch, pressure guage, etc. For my use on the tour I thought it was great, and it's small size makes it good for the car, but ultimately there's a reason the no. 8 is so popular - it's just the right size.
