Not sure how big a knife you are looking for, but Victorinox makes a Swiss Card that has a knife in it along with other tools / implements.
The knife is big enough to help with small everyday cutting tasks but not big enough to use for heavy cutting or self defense purposes.

Boker and SOG both make decent ones.
Don't know if it's any good, but an interesting design...

I just looked up that Iain Sinclair Cardsharp knife. It looks like they are trying to pass it off as all metal or some type of material other than plastic. However, then entire knife is plastic minus the blade. For someone like me that has to fiddle around with stuff too much, I would end up breaking the plastic at the folding lines. Too bad, this looked cool too.

They guarantee the hinges for a pretty good number of years if I remember correctly.
I think Tekna maybe (Techna)? made one. I got one for my dad years ago. He loved it. It was credit card shaped and a wide flat double edge blade slid out the end. When he died my scumbag nephew swiped it and sold it for dope. They made a lot of flashlights. My dad did things with that knife that it probably shouldn't have been capable of. It was in fact his EDC. I never knew him to carry a conventional pocket knife but he carried that crazy thing. He sharpened pencils with it, opened boxes, cut string, whittled a very little bit on carpentry projects...regular light duty EDC stuff. He loved that thing.
SOG Access card 2.0 is a quality product, and worth buying. Highly recommended.
I was worried it might be flimsy based on pictures, but its not. It is solid. It locks open solidly, no blade play at all and the handle doesn’t have any ‘give’ when squeezed either. (Warning to lefties: the axis lock is not ambidextrous like on a Griptillain.)
It opens buttery smooth with the thumb-slot or flips open lightning fast if you disengage the axis lock.
I normally don’t like handles with finger grooves, but here I find them useful since the handle is so thin. They give you a more secure grip. People with big hands: this knife may get “lost” in your palm, but that is true for any knife this size.
When I ran my thumb across it, it did not feel especially sharp, yet it cuts beautifully! I can’t figure this out. Maybe it’s the grind? Or maybe you just can’t go wrong with VG-10. Whatever the case, it is sharper than it feels, if that makes sense.
So far, I have had no wear on the coating, but I have only had it for a few weeks.
This is one of those little knives that you truly don’t notice its in your pocket until you need it. Very light, very thin, you forget you are carrying it! It is a futuristic looking gentlemen’s knife, and a quality piece. I don’t know if its worth $100, but I found mine under $60, and at that price I am very satisfied.
As long as you understand that this is not a knife you will build a log cabin with, or slash your way through the Amazon jungle with. Like I said, it is more a gentlemen’s knife with a unique look, for you basic everyday cutting tasks, unless you are a Marine or a farmer.
