Although these are cheap, my daughter ( 22 ) carries a CRKT M16 EDC and she had a very big selection to pick from :)

The flipper is easy for her to use and she keeps it clipped to her back pocket, she carries it everywhere.
 
I got my girl a Syderco Ladybug and shes loves the thing lol no pocket clip but throw a little lanyard on there and its good to go perfect size for edc. Plus it comes in a few colors and thats always fun.
 
Maybe a Mini-Grip? They come in a few different colors, they're fully ambidextrous, nice and light but sturdy, they carry well in the pocket since they're so thin. Not to mention that you get Benchmade's impeccable CS and lifetime warranty. Might be worth a look.
 
Set of kitchen knives. Duh.

Kidding aside, I suggest a pink native or tattoo dragonfly.
 
I'm thinking something more toward Spyderco, I just got my Para 2 with black blade today and it's awesome, looking at the manix 2, dragonfly 2, Purple FFG Delica, and the Caly 3.5

the para 2 is a great knife, she will probably end up stealing your's ;). out of the models you listed above, my vote is for the para 2.

the regular manix 2 is also very good but it might be a little on the heavy side for everyday carry.

have you looked at the sage 3?

she already owns the endura 4, so the dragonfly and delica are basically just smaller versions of the endura. the caly 3.5 is very close in my opinion to being a G10 endura 4. is she looking for something smaller or different?
 
I did forget to mention the sage 3, definite possibility, just gotta hide my para 2 :eek: haha, I haven't had a knife in S30v until today but i'v heard great things so the sage 3 might be the way to go :), i'm just not sure about how operating the para2 left handed would be for her though

i would let her try out your para 2, see if she is comfortable closing it left handed.

i doubt you can go wrong with the sage 3.

is she looking for something different than the endura 4?
 
Not necessarily something different, she just wants another knife(I think she's getting addicted too, uh oh haha). I am getting pushed more in the direction of the sage 3, not sure exactly yet, any idea how wide it is?
 
Looks like it's between the sage3 and the para 2, I'll have to see how she likes handling my para 2 first, thanks for your help
 
My wife alternates edcs between a pink mini grip and a Boker "cruel girl " Roper. She prefers the ergos of the mini grip but likes the slim carry profile of the boker. The boker is very much, size wise, like a delica.
 
I'll give another vote to the caly 3. Since she has a endura maybe a cool little slip joint may be appreciated :) take a look at the penut pattern for an example. Also a sak with scissors and such can be a very handy tool
