Good working sub 3" folding knife

[Therom]

Hello,

I use knives for different tasks and I am looking for a good combination of folding knives
I usually shift between 3 or 4 knives like BM943, PM2 and ZT0550.
However I will start a new job soon and I am looking for a sub 3" working folding knife.

I have a couple of ZT0350 that I will sell/trade and I may have some cash for buying a good knife in the range of 100-150$


Here are my specs:
steel: 154cm nor s30v (I would prefer ELMAX, M390, d2, m4 ... )
Locking: No framelock
Blade length: 2.6 to 3 "
Blade finish: black, blackwash or stonewash
Clip: Deep carry
Use: intensive cardboard cutting
Special: easy one hand opening and closing , American made

I was thinking to the Ritter mini rsk

Do you have other possibilities/recommendations?

Maybe a Spyderco Chaparral in carbon fiber. Thin blade makes it a good slicer and the wire clip is very discreet.
