EDC: 3". Para 3, Native, Delica, Caly 3, would be a good fit.
Weekend, Hard Work, or Adventure carry: 3.5". Para 2, Stretch, Manix 2.
Extra carry: Anything under 3". Dragonfly, Chaparral, etc.
Oddly enough, I feel like the Native 5 is a smaller knife than the Para 3. I know that's not true, of course, they're both about 3". Maybe it's how it carries, relatively compact?

Large:
- PM2, GB, Stretch
- only use these when I have a specific task in mind
Just right:
- Delica, chaparral, mantra, caly 3, native 5
- Cary these when not in the office
Small:
- Dragonfly
- One of my most Carried. Perfect for office carry or when biking or exercising
