Help me find a locking 3'' to 4'' blade that as thin as possible

[Grey Mullet]

Please help me find a locking 3'' to 4.25'' blade that is as thin as possible. I am looking for one that is about as thin as an SAK Alox. The A.G Russell fruit testing pocket knife would be perfect if it had a locking blade. Thanks.

Maybe an Opinel?

Spyderco Centofante 4. Wharincliffe blade, vey thin. Awesome knife!

I have two. Thinner that a Sak, good lock. Get the CB if you can.

Try the Benchmade 530

Axis lock, 3.25" blade, less tha 2 ounce and as thin as my Camillus EDC.

The agrussell 'One Hand Knife' is perfect ! I just got one in CPM154 .Very slim, very well made .7/32" thick + thumb things.

gerber folding sportsman,,out of production but one of my edc choices

The thinest folder that I have is my Al Mar SE Falcon. This knife amazes me that it has a full user 3 1/4" blade but it weighs the same as my Spyderco Dragonfly! It seems like the clip is almost as wide as the knife is. This is my go to knife for really packing light. You might want to give this or the Eagle a look.

A kershaw leek would be a good choice. They are incredibly thin

 

[p_mcmanis]

Im not sure you guys got the same meaning from thin that he meant.

 

[Siggyhk]

You could send just about anything to Tom Krein and he'll make it as thin as you like.

 

[Gene K]

Thin in what way? Handle thickness, blade height or blade thickness?

You want a thin folder do ya? Look here. I have two of these now. Both are pretty decent user knives and excellent kitchen duty or fruit peeling knife. Its a good little light weight lockback folder. I love the Birch one I have.

AGRussell Featherlite:

Only a little more that 1/4" thick, 1.5 oz, 3" blade in ATS-34 or AUS-8, $35-$50.

Pick a knife design you like and have Tom Krein grind it down to however thin you like it.

Maybe an Opinel?

Bingo! :thumbup:

 

[JB in SC]

Al Mar Falcon or Eagle Ultralight.

 

[hatchetjack]

Boker Trance?

 

[phatch]

The Al Mars are good as is the One hand Knife. Also look at the AG Russell Featherlite. Same design as the One Hand, but in FRN. Much less money and very good.

Al Mar Ultralights. They are well made and have a nice cutting geometry.
