Well my girlfriend wants a knife(she's just that awesome :)) and i'm not sure what to get her. She isn't that new to knives and knows how to handle one. Ok so basic information: She's left handed, need something ambidextrous, left handed pocket clip(tip up or tip down, either or both), concealable, already has a Purple Spyderco FFG Endura. Size isn't too important as long as it's easily concealable, and no fixed blades please but open to suggestions, spydie hole or thumbstud. No color or coating preference, but please no linerlocks or framelocks. Thank You :D
 
I'd recommend some kind of Benchmade Axis lock. Maybe a Griptilian variant or 943 for EDC?
 
Bechmade 960s were made in various colors, if that's what she's looking for. Benchmade 94Xs were also available in a few colors other than the basic ones. They're not super-deep carry, but visibility is pretty small. The most concealable would probably be one of the Spydercos with a wire clip, like a Caly 3 or the Sage 3 (in smurf bone). If you find a knife that she'd like, but carry isn't as deep as she'd like, you can always have STR fix you up with a deep carry clip.
 
Heya, newbiw to the forums here , sorry in advance if i muck up :)
anyways , your girlfriend sounds totally cool!
If it's within your budget , I'd recommend a Benchmade 42 balisong, comes razor sharp out of the box, it's a working blade, easily concealable, very well made and great for killing boredom!
Did i mention it was fun to flip as well? :)

Just my two cents ;)
 
Kabar did a run of their Dozier Hunters with pink scales last year - good little GP folder, nothing fancy but very functional.

Price range is around a hundred dollars. Thank you for the suggestions, as far as a balisong goes though, very illegal in California :/ but I think something spyderco is in her best interest, not sure yet bit keep the suggestions coming :D, and yes she is very cool :), oh and also, pink isn't totally her thing but yea haha
 
The Kabar Doziers come in pink colors, and I am almost positive that they come with reversible clips. Spyderco has a few models in pink just like that Endura. Benchmade puts out a small pink Griptilian. There are a lot of nice slipjoints out there she might like.
 
I once got a girl a pink mini Griptillian with a sheepsfoot blade and it went over quite well. The axis lock is easy to use and the pink.... well, I guess you could go for orange or yellow if she's not a pink girl.
 
If fixed blades are an option, a pink Izula might go over well.

Benchmade 530, less than 2 oz. and clip can be changed for a left-handed person. It is very slim and easy to clip to her pants pockets.
 
Been trying to find one for my GF, she's super picky, hates all spyderco, because of the "ugly hole thing", doesn't like weird colors, or pink. I was really surprised when she settled on a Benchmade 710, it is slim in the pocket and in hand so you don't need large hands to use it, good blade length and steel, a classic with the axis lock. If you can take her to store so she can see what fits her hand the best.
 
since shes already used to the endura, maybe a stretch, a little smaller and more ergonomic in the hand.

how about blue? a spyderco sage 3 will run about $110.
 
I feel like I've been recommending this a lot, but how about a Spyderco Dragonfly2? It's like the baby baby sister to the Endura FFG, very concealable and the wire pocket clip can be configured tip-up left or right hand. I'm considering getting one for my gf as well.

If that's too small, there's always the Delica or Caly3...
