All-
I've done some googling but not finding what I'm looking for.
For the last seven years, my preference for office EDC has been a Spyderco Mantra. Unfortunately, it's been lost, and my search for a replacement Mantra has been fruitless.
Reasons I loved the Mantra: It is lightweight (3 oz), has a 3-4in the blade, titanium scales (professional looking and doesn't tear up pockets of dress pants), a wire deep carry pocket clip (not visible), a flipper and a thumb hole opening options.
It seems this combination is no longer available from Spyderco since they discontinued Mantra (and a couple of other models over the past few years.)
Question: Besides GiantMouse, are there any other manufacturers building a knife that meets the above criteria?
Appreciate any options this group may know of.

Kunwu has some options, and I can attest that their knives are extremely well made. Check out their website to see what they have in stock.

Could be the Spyderco Techno 2 would fit the bill.

I forgot to mention that I have xl hands. I looked at this offering, and was willing to try it (even though not a flipper) but she’s a bit shorter than I like. Appreciate the look.

While not a flipper, the Spyderco Kapara is excellent and with the beautiful carbon fiber and wire clip it's classy looking. I ditched the wire clip though.
 
One of the reasons I have too many knives and tools. If I find something I really like. I buy extras.

I hope you find a replacement. Mantras are out there. Check the auction site.
