Hi guys,
I am still very new here and don't know much. But I learned I have expensive taste when I bought a CR Sebenza for my third knife (after a Swiss Army and Kershaw , then a Strider, then another CR Mnandi, then a CR kitchen knife, even...! And along the way I bought one knife I think is better on sight than any CR or Strider (sorry for the cliche comparisons, I told you I'm still new) but the knife I think that is tops, is a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. To me, it destroys these other fine knives. It's light and fearfully sharp, and frankly, the knife itself scares me it is so brilliant. But I can't not carry it.

Here's my question. If I am this sort of a Spyderco fan, tell me what is my small daily carry please! because I love all the knives I own, but I live in a big city. I want a PM2 type knife to carry every day, in a sheeple friendly smaller, more subtle package. Any brand--I'm open to all suggestions and look forward to them.

Thanks.

PM2 and don't worry about the people.

In order to avoid drawing unwanted attention from coworkers and police, one does need to "worry about the people". Some knife laws make little to no sense, but in the end, they should be ahered to for the simple fact that prison sucks.
My vote goes to the Leafstorm.
 
Techno, not released yet but hopefully it will be out soon.
Frame lock like the CRs and Striders in a nice compact tank-like folder
 
Caly 3 Zdp 189. Very well made, the back lock should last forever, great steel, carbon fiber goodness, deep pocket carry clip.
 
Chaparral for deep carry and black pocket clip (and gentlemanly good looks). Or Dragonfly2 ZDP-189 for superlight (you really do forget its there, until you need it!), tough and super un-scary for NKP (non-knife people).
 
Chaparal CF at around 100$ is really a champion.PM2 is my fav folder at the moment aswell but boy I tell you the smaller blade on Chap may be smaller but man does that thing flick so dang fast.great knife and wire pocket clip allows you to really have a VERY deep carry.my first post here had to give my 2 cents.cheers
 
I have heard good things about the chap, but I dont see a point in picking one up now that i have a caly 3 cf zdp, though i like the chaps cf better. either of those are a suitable pocket knife for a gentleman. you may like the leafstorm since you are a crk fan, but I dont think you even need a lock from a gentlemans folder. in fact I look at the lock as for anyone ELSE who uses its safety.
 
another vote for the leafstorm.

6 inches overall length (give or take), titanium framelock, good steel, aesthetically pleasing/unique.

big things come in small packages and small packages in the mail (with leafstorms inside) bring big smiles.

i have no clue why i typed that lol.
 
try ag russell's...
general purpose blade style featherlite one hand knife
or the 3.0 titanium lockback folder
 
I'd recommend a Caly 3, Sage 1/2, Chaparral, or Leafstorm as well. I rotate through these knives and they are all great. My favorite is the Sage 2 but the others are nice and more discrete.

Another different option would be a Leatherman Skeletool CX. About 5 ounces and very people friendly. It also has pliers and a bit adapter for screwdrivers.
 
I am also a big fan of the awesome Para2 I own 3 now, the s90v sprint, reg black g-10 and digi-cam There great knives even for edc b/c they are so light!:thumbup: For your needs it seems like the Sage 2 would be great, its a very well built knife and locks up like a bank vault, really any of the sage's would be a good choice
