Greetings,

I'm looking for a light and slim folder, preferably with a deep pocket clip.
I have my Delica and I love it, but I'd need a folder that could put in shirt's breast pocket an that would
light enough to "disappear" in pocket...

Please, give me suggestions what would be good folder like that.

Price tag would be nice under 100.
Blade lenght : between 2 and 3 inches.

Thanks!
 
Why do you need to put the knife in your shirt breast pocket? Is this a secondary knife? Are you wearing pocketless pants? Answers can help with alternative carry suggestions and knife options.

If the Delica is too heavy, what about a dragonfly? 2.3" blade and 1.2oz

Ok. Don't laugh. But here is what I carry in my shirts pen pocket at work. Replaceable blades. Very thin material. Snap off to sharpen. Thin, light, useful. I use it as much as my blade and it keeps me from yanking my blade out when I need to scrape paint off some acid/caustic/chemical soaked area.

Good call.. I use the plastic versions of those at home all the time. The modern day Exacto knife. Good utility blade.
 
kabar Dozier 4072 ,mine gets razor sharp and you forget your carrying it ~20.00

It'll be a secondary knife.
One that be used -mostly- on light works, at office and like areas.

And I'd like it be one that can use when around non-knife persons,
so I'd like it be non-tactical look.

Oh yeah, and one hand open/ close would be good.
 
I'll agree with the dragonfly recommendation! I've actually been carrying mine in my breast pocket lately and it works well!
 
Hard to believe a 2.5oz delica is too heavy, lol.
And fwiw the leek is actually half an oz. heavier...

Boker+ Anti Grav gives you a 3.25" blade abd deep pocket clip at only 2oz.
-ceramic blade and carbon fiber handle

Boker+ urban trapper comes in just under 2oz with a 3.5" blade in vg-10 & deep pocket clip.
-The cocobolo handled one is real nice looking IMO, and the carbon fiber handle being the lightest at 1.75oz.

Mcusta gentleman's knife in rosewood is deep pocket, 2.75" damascus vg10 blade, and weighs in at 2.25 oz. so just a bit lighter then the delica. Super sharp looking though at a bit over $100.

If you're allowed auto's where you live, going a bit above the price range for a Protech Newport (or Halfbreed) might be the way to go. 3" (or 2") blade, deep carry clip, (made in usa), weiging just 2.1 oz. The newport comes with tons of different handle patterns to pick from. They are closer to $200 though. Smaller Halfbreeds are closer to $100, Sprint runs.

If you're adament about ≤3"

Timberline makes a 2.75" Damascus "patterned" ceramic blade with carbon fiber handles, deep pocket clip, at just 1.5oz.
-looks real nice, don't know anything about them though.

Schrade makes one too, just likevit but non dasmascus patterened,http://www.bladehq.com/item--Schrade-SCH401-Ceramic-Folding--21941 (wouldn't surprise me if Taylor made the Timberline as well?)
And and even cheaper $19 version...http://www.bladehq.com/item--Schrade-Ceramic-Liner-Lock-Knife--27920
For under $20 though it might be worth checking out? It fits all your other criteria... I actually think for that priceI might check one out on my next purchase from them. Add one into the cart. I have wanted to try a ceramic blade for a while now...
(Don't believe everything you hear, I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Schrade more often then I've been disappointed).
