If you want a lightweight it would be a Spyderco, no doubt. .

When you are through looking at 'toys' and are ready to get serious, get a Cold Steel Recon. If it's good enough for the US Military, it will be good enough for you.

Are calling everyone else's suggestions toys? Seriously? Not helpful in any way what so ever.

While the Recon 1 is a great knife it isn't in the same league as most of the other options mentioned.

Further, the OP clearly states no AUS8 which the Recon 1 has.
