Big Hands, Small Blades

Here's my challenge. Endura fits my hand nicely, while the Delica handle is a bit small. But the Endura blade at 4 serrated scary inches is too big. It would be unfair to the bad guys. The law will let me carry a "3 inch-ish" blade here in the great state of NJ, so the ideal for me would be 3 1/2. But it seems every knife is too big or too small. What production knife options whould you folks recommend?
-Need pocket clip
-Under $100
-Not too heavy
 
a 550 gritillian might be a good choice for you, big handle, about a 3 inch blade, and you can get it serrated, or non. very affordable.


hope this helps some!!! :)
 
If you like the Endura that much you could always buy it and then have the blade ground down for you.
 
You're going to have a hard time finding a folder that fits you because knife makers try NOT to make the handles bigger than they have to be to hold the folded blade! You might go for something that fills your hand more by over-all diameter instead of with length. Of course you can get what you want in a fixed blade, but I take it that is not an option...

Look at the CRKT line of folders. CRKT likes somewhat thick handles, and they may feel comfortable in your hand even when they are a bit shorter than you ideally like.
 
How about the Spyderco 'Lil Temperance? There is also the Spyderco Massad Ayoob...Its' blade is 3&5/8th long, but it does have a full handle.
 
Also, I want to check out the Spydie Frank Centofante Vesuvius, it seems in between the Endura and Delica.....
 
The kershaw blackout has great ergononic handle. The blade is about 3 inches and it is damn near automatic.
