I need a little help.

I'm looking for a sub 3" or just over 3" spydie, that has the wire clip. I currently carry the mantra, and although it has been my fav spydie to carry to date, I just have grown to dislike the flipper tab. I like to choke up more on the blade. I also have the dragonfly but it's a tad to small for what I need. The reason I would like the wire clip is bc I work in an office setting and the wire clip looks a lot more discreet then the normal clips. Thanks for your help!

Hands down.. IMO.. Sage 5!

Compression lock, wire clip, CF peel ply.. it looks like a fancy office knife..
Fits the hand Great! Not to big, not to small.. yet, has zero issues with getting down and dirty!

I had to finish a drywall job, with mine.. after cutting drywall to fit, I could still cut phone book paper.. roughly, but not tearing..

I modified my blade..

The Chaparral is a awesome office knife! Or wedding or church..
A little small.. more of the DF2 size. But petite feeling..

Here's where it looses it, for me..

It's a skinny little blade..
I'm a construction worker and a woodsmen..
So unless I'm opening a Christmas present, box, envelope, or cutting a thread.. I would much rather have my DF2.. size comparison wise..
But it's my secondary blade, for the dirty work, anyways.. lol..

The Sage series is a Great series! Sold all my other Sage models, when I heard the 5 was coming out.
Now I have 2 of them! Lol..
 
Any of the Sages would be good. So would either Caly. The Chaparral is nice but it is similar in size to the dragonfly.
 
Sage 2 is what I have to fit those requirements. I like the titanium handle and frame lock. Very nice blade and ergos.

Definitely Sage 1 or 5. Prefer the 1 myself for the visible steel liners but both are great.

Rides very low and discrete in the pocket.

Isn't there a Caly 3 coming out soon with Hap40 steel ?
That would be my suggestion .

Another vote for the caly 3 in any steel (I have a super blue and love it). Also, the dodo has a wire clip and is super comfortable in the hand.
