I'm sure a lot of these get posted but I'm curious to learn more about patterns from different brands and I figured here is as good a place as any to ask.

Over time I've found I have certain tastes and I lean towards knives with certain characteristics more so than others. I was wondering if you knew of any slippies that fit the below configurations that might make nice users/collectibles.

-sub 4 inches closed
-single spring (can be single or multi blade)
-clip/spearpoint preferred
-Carbon Steel
-Half Stops are nice
-Slimmer profiles cool but not necessary.

Hopefully there are some suggestions. Here is my current carry. It's everything I need but we all know that nobody stops there :P

I hate to say this and this is not what you want to hear....

....But, I would stick with what you have. That is a gorgeous knife. Beautiful wood and bolstered on both ends for strength. Nice slim blade with a good profile.

I would suggest some, but I really like what you have.
 
GEC's White Owl fits the bill nicely. It comes with either a clip or spear master, and a pen secondry, both sharing the same spring, but no half-stops.

For the sake of going against my recent "be happy with what you've got" logic :)

This is about the nicest non custom I own.

Half stop, incredible walk and talk. SHARP/THIN/AWESOME.
 
Queen's version of the Canoe is a single spring knife. It is fairly thick for only one spring though.

GEC also has some single blade Easy Open knives in the #25 and #85 patterns.
 
From my collection, I can recommend the single blade GEC #85 (spear) and #73 (droppoint)
 
There are, fortunately, a lot of knives that could meet with your approval:

GEC White Owl, Conductor, the new 26 Watchpocket Sunfish with Clip. If you could fancy a Wharncliffe then there's their 62 model as well.

Queen Cut The Canoe as shown already and their Half Congress. Schatt&Morgan Half Whitt with Turkish Clip and Cope.

CASE Pen-knife in yellow delrin. Handles might be a bit thin for some tastes though, but a very good pocket pal.

Rough Rider can be considered their interesting Equal End Swell Centre with Spear and Pen. Half-stops and a strong spring too.
 
I'm liking that white owl and the Scagal/GEC options.

What about the GEC Conductor? What are the opinions on that.
 
Conductor? VERY fine small pocket knife with a really decent credible Clip master. Fit and finish are good and there (were) quite a few scale options.bone smooth and jigged,stag, ivory, micarta, acyrlic., woods. You will have to hunt a bit.

A lot of people here love the conductor. Nothing but praise for the most part. Same for the white owl--I went for the white owl myself
 
I missed the multi blade part, I just read single blade instead of spring. I've been carrying a conductor for months and have nothing but praise for it. It works very well for me. I just received my first #68 yesterday and so far its looking good too. I'll have to carry it a bit to see if I like it over a #33. Case Pen knife is very good too. I have a single blade Case Peanut but its in Tru Sharp, don't know if they made one in CV before. You may want to go custom too. Here is a Gene Wiseman Ultra Lite Front Pocket in 1095. I think he's using D2 now though/too.

I just picked up the GEC conducter in Stag. It was a Northfield one and the only one I could find in 1095.

pretty excited. Never had a stag knife before. Usually just go for woods. Don't know if it will replace my dogleg but it will make a nice addition to the collection.

Now I'm eyeing a 2 bladed congress :P
