As the title states, looking for a new edc for the wife, she currently carries an s35vn Endura 4. However, she has been hinting at wanting something a little smaller, and TEAL (or equivalent color)...

I'm looking for something around a 3" blade, give or take. Most blade shapes are fine, but no warnies or sheep's foot (idk, she's just not a fan). Let's say any decently stainless steel 9cr or up, any lock type, any handle material.

I'm aware of all the Teal Spyderco's, and that just may be what i end up going with, I was just wanting to know if anyone knew of anything else out there that is readily available that may fit the criteria. Trying to keep this one under $200.

The attached pic of the Curtiss if for color reference only.. if anyone is getting a new F3 it's going to be me 😂.

If you go to a reputable vendor, like BladeHQ, you can sort folding knives by cost, blade length, handle color, etc.

Don’t look for teal handles, as that will reduce your choices. Look for “white” or “natural” scale colors. You’ll have so many more choices. This knife came with white scales and I made them purple…because I like purple:

Anyway, using dyes is easy. I’d be happy to help if you have questions.

At the end of the day, you’ve created a custom knife for your wife just in time for V-Day!

Wins all around! Good luck.
 
Thanks for the responses. Still considering my options. Then I got to thinking about just going aftermarket scales depending on the knife... the rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper lmao.
 
There's a teal Kershaw Leek, but that's a wharnie. Not sure if autos are an option, but Kershaw also makes the Launch in teal; there's at least one in your size range (the Launch 12).

Kansept makes at least one size of the Korvid, the Mini, in teal.

Go to different gas stations for the next week or so. Find knife in teal. Put teal knife in expensive knife box. Give gas station knife to wife. Buy yourself a nice new knife. Win at life

Counter-proposal: buy your wife the best damn knife that fits her needs because she deserves it and because you care about her. Then feel good about what you've done every time you see her use it.

Winning at life isn't about deceiving and screwing over somebody else, it's about helping others, especially those you care about.
 
I got my girlfriend a Civivi Exarch with grey G-10 scales that ended up looking a lot more teal in person than the pictures, fast forward a couple of days and we’re on call and she’s flipping the thing non stop, I think I’ve finally fully converted her! But seriously, I was actually a bit jealous of the knife, it’s really sleek and low profile, doesn’t look too scary to non-knife people and has a slicey slightly hollow grind, I honestly think you can’t go wrong with the civivi Exarch.
