3.5-inch daily carry folder?

I've got the Caly 3.5, the para 2 and the Manix 2. All GREAT knives. The Para 2 and the 3.5 feel about the same in the pocket (at least to me). Of course, the 3.5 has a deep pocket carry so it disappears a little more. But they are similarly sized, although the Para 2 feels a little bigger. Manix 2 feels a lot wider, although similar length. If you found the Blur too wide, then I'd stick w/ the Para 2 or the 3.5.
 
I have to say the para 2, it carries light in the pocket and it opens as smooth as butter. I have been looking for the perfect EDC and my gray Para 2 is so far the best I have found. I just bought a zt 0551 and the Para 2 is still my favorite, it beat my Manix 2, G10 Endura, Sage 1, Caly 3 CF, and Para 1 D2 with STR clip. I really like the Para 2. Great knife light weight, good ergonomics and the blade length works for me.

This gets my vote too. I've owned/used lots of folders and this is the best one I've ever handled. It's design is just about perfect in every way. It's also the smoothest knife I own (and I have a few Benchmade Axis knives).
