Good day, I'm in need/want of a new 3" or so edc knife, broke the tip off my leek. I can't stand the feel of the mini griptilian & don't want another spring assist i.e the mini barrage or volli. The b'made 707 looks great but I'm wary of the handle length. I've considered the Spyderco Centofante & Delica but kinda want an axis lock, I have a Rift & love it. Any suggestions on a 3" or so blade would be appreciated, thanks.
 
If you're looking for an axis lock:

-300 Flipper (just a hair over 3")
-707 Sequel (the handle is a bit smallish, but that's common with knives this size)
-527 Mini Presidio
-484 Nakamura

I think those are all the 3" axis folders (with the exception of a couple of AO models). You might not like the Mini Presidio since it uses the same handle material as the Mini Grip. That leaves the 300, 707 and 484.
 
Benchmade 707, 707-1201 (Dealer Exclusive), 585, 586, 586-141 (Gold Class), 586-1401 (SHOT Show 2014), 470-1, 484 (all with about a 3" blade and Axis lock). 484 is not out yet.

Thanks, all relevant suggestions & I appreciate y'all taking the time. After some extensive research the 707 wins out for now, 484 later. Thanks again
