Guys,

I just bought a Kershaw Zing for EDC and although I love it, I would also like to add a second EDC that has a blade with a thinner profile from edge up to the spine so I can slice food more easily. I am willing to spend up to $100. Any immediate suggestions come to mind?:D

Oops. Forgot to mention that I would like to keep the blade to about 3".

Kershaw JYDII in SG2, you can pick up a blem from Kershawguy over in the exchange, it is one heck of a slicer, ti handles, framelock, flipper... I believe for $89
 
Kershaw Skyline. The blade is slightly longer than the Zing, but considerably thinner at the spine and more of a "slicer" configuration. It has G10 scales too and weighs less than the Zing.
 
Thin is subjective. I'm compelled to call out the Spyderco Carbon Fiber S90V Para 2 on this one.

Hands down . . .
 
Lots of traditional slipjoints, SAKs, etc. which tend to have much thinner blades than modern designs.

In the modern category, Spyderco Centofante 3 or Caly.
 
Spyderco Centofante sits right at 3", and it's pretty thin from spine edge, and in overall thickness. Same thickness as a Leek.

Other than that I'd look at some slipjoints.
 
I think the benchmade 940's are quite thin. I think you can score these at roughly ~$100 on ebay. Maybe a bit more....
 
This is easy, FFG Spyderco Delica in VG-10 or ZDP, your choice.
 
If you don't mind getting a bit more traditional knife, get an Opinel. Wonderful slicers with very thin blades.
 
Case Sod Buster is a crazy good slicer. Everything else that comes to mind has already been mentioned.
 
+1 on Opinel. I use mine in the kitchen and it slices like crazy. And you can buy every model you want and be under $100.

:thumbup::thumbup: You can get one of the Jr.s for around 20.00 if you look for it. I perfer the 420HC stainless as opposed to the carbon steel version. It seems to get sharper, because of a finer grain structured steel, and don't be fooled by the 420HC, this blade is ground very thin and it stays sharp for a long time.

Beat me to it. I brought another knife over that because it looked too "gentlemanly" which I definitely, am not. ;)

Cant beat an Opinel for thin profile slicer! mine is carbon but they can be had in stainless...under $10 and its one of my sharpest knives!!! I've used it to shave once when I ran out of razors.

This is an Opinel No.6 :)
