My fiance's birthday is coming up and I was wondering about some of the more feminine options available for decent knives. I'm looking for options under $100. I'm aware of the pink Delica and Native from Spyderco and the pink Mini Griptilian. Also looking at (and leaning toward) the green or purple Delica that is currently available. Any other options to keep an eye out for?
 
Pink Izula if carbon steel isn't an issue. I believe there's also a pink Ka-Bar Dozier folder. And maybe consider a white ceramic watch if you're feeling generous;).
 
Delica maybe in one of the colors, I did give pink Doziers to women this x mess all liked them, think Benchmade has a pink Griptillian and some other colors...I nearly gifted my sister a pink Izula but gave her an Eskabar insted.

My ex liked assisted open knives... always an option.
 
My wife wanted a pink Mini-Griptilian, first because of the color, and secondly because the operation of its AXIS lock was easy and intuitive for her compared to some other mechanisms. Sadly, that knife is hauled around a lot, but actually used very little.

The knife she DOES use more than anything else isn't really a knife at all, but a Victorinox Swiss Card (which is available in pink, but my wife wanted the ruby one). When she is shopping or out dining with friends or co-workers, some small task will pop up that her Swiss Card makes short work of. That Swiss Card and an ITP eos A3 flashlight are two items she invariably has with her (a Wenger Evolution 16 is often in her purse too).

I have shown my wife all the knives in the "girl" colors I could find and she wanted none of them. Then one day she tells me she bought herself a knife. She had just added one to her cart on a website that sells all kinds of outdoor stuff. It was an orange Boker folder! Orange! I would not have guessed, shows what I know.
 
Pink Izula for sure.

My wife is a pink freak. She has a pink izula, pink emerson mini-7, pink leek, pink ka-bar dozier and more.

If this is your fiance's first knife, I would strongly recommend the Pink Leek. It is small, sharp, speed assisted but it has a lock so it won't just open accidently. It is a great first knife for someone to start with as an E.D.C.
 
I bought my wife a pink Leek, but she rarely will take it out and use it. I don't know what I'd try next. I did give her a choice between the Leek and a Spyderco Dragonfly (this knife is being given away here, now) and she said she liked the Leek better. For what it's worth... She has long (relatively speaking) fingernails so a knife with a nail nick isn't going to be used by her. You can lead them to water but you can't make them drink. They either will drink, won't drink, or jump in head first...

Either pink G10 outlined in Swavorski Crystals or maybe completely blinged out an covered in Crystals
Possibly MOP scales with an Accent Ruby on ea side
OAL not more than 6-7 inches
 
Yeah, make sure she actually likes a "girl color". Try and find out what she really would like rather than what strangers think she wants based on little more than gender. My GF would probably stab me if I presented her with a pink knife. She has stolen my all black BM Rift. It's gone.
 
Benchmade offers a purple handle option for their griptilian line, but you have to order it through their cusomize a griptilian option on their site. It's on the "one day" list for my wife.
