If you don't mind waiting and cost is not a worry check out the smaller Yuna's,M390 steel, one of the best and a variety of handle scales to choose from. In the mean time get a Spyderco, you may never want to trade up.

I really wasn't thinking garbage when I made it, but to each their own.

Everyone has different tastes, I really like this knife looks like a great slicer.

thanks for the laugh hahahahah i think this piece of garage is the last thing on his list. but that was hilarious!

If that one is garbage, then I have a landfill of a collection!:thumbup:

I guess that makes me a hoarder?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Agreeing with Tony i'd also like to add that regrinding in order to meet your length requirement should be looked at. This will obviously open up the field quite a bit. I have several knives with good size handles / stubbyish blades and it works for me.

Yeah, do this.
Sebenza 21 - Small 2.87" $350.00
The OP wants to stay below 3" blade, and this knife is perfect. No need for a custom unless he wants to spend the money for something unique.

If you need to be below 2.75" - there are some options:
The Fallkniven TK3 and FH9 models. The FH9 comes in maroon Micarta and the FH9 BH in black Micarta - none of these knives looks threatening.
They are two hand openers.
You might also look at the Mcusta knives with damascus blades and/or damascus steel handles. They also have some with plainer stainless steel handles. There are a number of options in the knives with blades under 70mm. The smaller Mcusta knives are not heavy duty, if you need that.
Also check out Moki.
If you can be <3" and can be at 2.9", then their are a number of Benchmade knives you can consider.
