EDC 2" or less Blade?

You should seriously consider Buck USA-made for a small knife. Great company, great warranties and great knives. Lockback: 505 Knight, Slipjoints: Rosewood 309 Companion, Rosewood 305 Lancer. Small knives that can handle real work and all for under $35.
 
Böker Nano. The Decade Edition is out there in VG-10 (but you can't have mine); even in 440C it's a great little knife.
 
When I purchased my Viper Ten, I recall seeing a series of Viper that featured shorter blade folders (2" or less). You can either visit their website or search Viper products through online knife carrier sources. I do no remember how much they were going for but it doesn't hurt to check them out. Good luck on your findings ~

Buck Lux Avid is another nice little non assisted 2.5" framelock flipper with a deep carry clip; made in USA with 13c27 steel at just under 3oz. And just a tad over your budget.
 
As the OP already mentioned, the Mini Tuff Lite is excellent, and doesn't require fingernails, unlike the Case and Buck slipjoints suggested.
 
Thanks for everyone's input!

I just placed an order for an Ontario Rat II, CKRT Pazoda 2 (tough decision between this and the CS Mini Tuff Lite but I had to make sure I had one truly deep carry knife for the office), and a Spyderco Robin 2 FRN...all for under $60 shipped. I think this will give me a good range of sizes and styles at a good price (and decent quality) to try beside my Cryo to see what type of knife really suits me. Once I can narrow down what I really need/want out of my EDC I'll probably spend a little more to get a bit better quality. But for right now I can't wait to get these three knives in and run them through my EDC routines with my Cryo.

I truly appreciate everyone taking the time to give me your honest feedback, opinions, and help!

This an awesome forum with many incredible people...cannot wait to spend more time here throughout the years!!!
