Looking for an EDC knife

[DIYknife]

So I'm looking for a new EDC knife, the only requirements are as thin as possible (thinner than a Skyline), as light as possible, and blade length under 3.5 inches. Other than that, go crazy. Thanks in advance!

Not sure about thinness, Spyderco sage 1 well worth a look . Having fun.

Kershaw Leek meets all of those requirements and is an incredible design.

 

[Sunyata]

Benchmade 940-1 or 940 or 943

 

[RemyKaze]

Benchmade 531.
Meets and exceeds your requirements beyond pretty much any other knife, in my opinion.

Haha, the E10 is my next purchase. But it's three times the price of the 531, so ya know...anyway good luck OP.

There are a couple of SAKs that meet that criteria. On currently listed in the BF Exchange. Less than 5mm thick.

Spyderco Salt 1.

Only 2oz!

The single layer, two-blade, alox Victorinox Secretary weighs only 21.8g which is a whooping 0.77oz, but is a beast at 5.55mm thick. The single blade Sentry is lighter. What's worse is the Secretary costs a WHOLE $15! $20 if you don't shop carefully.

Spyderco Chaparral fits the bill.

Al Mar ultralight series.

I ground that notch out of mine. Looks great.

I can certainly understand why, lol. The stud is much too close to the scale. I'm learning/adjusting though.
