HELP! Alternatives to DPX HEAT/F or Spyderco Chubby

[Ombra]

Looooong time from my last post...but here I am again asking for suggestions to you guys!
I am in love with small (<2.5 inch) but thick foldings...but I definitely cannot afford any of the two I like the most (DPX HEAT os Spydie Chubby). Is out there any cheaper (much cheaper) alternatives? Thx!

The DPX HEAT and the Spydie Chubby are fine little knives but I hear you on the price, especially the Chubby! wow that's like a $110 bucks per blade inch. The Cold Steel Tuff Lite is a great choice for $30 clams and I think I'm gonna pick one up myself for a work knife, Lovin that wharncliffe blade in OD Green myself .

Check out the Gnome Ti Flipper over at the Big River site. it's got D2 steel and the action is better than the Heat and Chubby. I had one for a while and it was a really nice little knife. It was just a little too small for me.
