No, the title does not imply a trade I want to make
. I'm looking for a new EDC for my wife (she currently carries a Gerber LST...trying to upgrade). Here are the requirements.
Uses - Light cutting of tape, paper, clothing tags, etc.
Style - Slim folder, with or without thumbstud.
Blade Size - No longer than a 2.5 - 2.75 inch blade.
Steel - Pretty much any non-POS steel will work, we're talking only intermittent use.
Blade Finish - Once again, pretty open to suggestions, just no coatings (unless it's Boron Carbide).
Clip - Not necessary, however, if it has one, she wants tip-down carry. She will most likely carry it in her purse.
Color - OK, here's her uncompromising requirement -- it must be bright red; not maroon, not pink, but bright red
Scale Material - No strong preferences, although the color requirement probably rules out most natural materials.
Price - Looking for something in $50-$150 range.
So what do you folks think? Does such a knife exist? The closest I've found is this Spyderco at A.G. Russell, but it's a tad too big and the style doesn't really appeal to her.
