The Small Knives are an acoustic duo from Melbourne, Australia.

The Small Knives are an acoustic duo composed of Leo Mullins and Phil Romeril, both formerly of the group 2 Litre Dolby. After relocating from Sydney to Melbourne, 2 Litre Dolby gained a strong following through their three releases (including a UK release) and renowned live shows. After 2 Litre Dolby parted ways in mid 2000, Leo and Phil formed The Friendly Injun using a more minimal ethic towards song writing. They combined acoustic guitars, fan powered organ and strong harmonies. The Friendly Injun later changed their name to The Small Knives.

The band started recording their debut album in October 2002. In 2004 their debut album Rain on Tin was officially released.

The Small Knives have shared stages with Nick Cave, The Dirty Three, Iron and Wine, Bill Callahan (Smog), Evan Dando, Art of Fighting, Preston School of Industry, Mark Eitzel, Machine Translations, New Buffalo, Gersey and Architecture in Helsinki.
