Need smallish colourful folder for girl's gift - recommendations

I think the Swiss Army knife classic comes in many colors, handy little tools in a small package. Any more specifics that would help narrow your choices? Cool idea, hope you find one for her.
 
Did see some rainbow coloured handle scales and blade steel somewhere once, can't remember where. I never thought I would be interested and didn't bookmark.
 
Kershaw Fraxion. Lots of colorful scales; 2.75" blade, easy flipper, nice pocket clip for pocket or purse. Other than that, I'd go with a SAK.

Hard to go wrong with a SAK. The Classic comes in a huge range of colors to choose from. She might find the scissors very useful too.

If you want something bigger, another vote for a Spyderco. The Dragonfly 2 has some nice colors. So does the Delica 4 FFG.
 
My pick would depend largely on what kind of “girl” you’re talking about and how much you want to spend. If she’s a HS or college student and there’s a significant chance the knife might get lost or abused, a Spyderco Delica or SAK would be fine. If she’s your wife/GF and a post-college, mature woman who doesn’t have a history of losing or abusing things (and you want to impress her with this present), something by Olamic might fill the bill. They come in a wide variety of colors and fancy finishes but they cost far more than any Delica or SAK. Happy shopping!

I give non-knife relatives gifts of Swiss Army Knife Midnight Manager, a great small knife with tons of versatility, IMHO. Check out the video for all the doodads on this little cutie.

 
dude, we have all seen what knives
can do to a sane person.
(They can become seriously addicted!).
and that will spell far more gift knives
built into this relationship :)
which is fine for the lady
since a gent always pays.
so, i hope that your little gift
won't ruin her nail manicure :)
go with something without a nail nick
like the kershaw chive
the rainbow stuff is secondary market now.
oh, if it has to be a SAK,
it might help the lady
if the said gift has
an in built solution
to fix a bad nail day...

I can tell you my experience that my wife loves the Spyderco dragonfly. It’s her favorite of all knives. It comes in yellow, orange, green, black, purple, and other colors if you can find them. It only weighs 1.2 ounces and will fit in the tiny nonexistent pockets on women’s pants, in the waistband of their skirts, and in those tiny things they call purses.

Another recommendation that I could make for something nonthreatening would be the Spyderco roadie. It comes in about six colors but it is a two handed opening life not quite as useful as a dragonfly.
