I'm looking for a fast-opening folder to keep inside (but not clipped to) my left front pocket in business slacks. I'm right-handed, so the knife will need to be easy to open with my less-dexterous left hand. assisted opening or waved would probably be ideal.

I work in a place where I am forbidden from carrying my CCW firearms, but am also frequently put into dangerous situations with individuals who may be armed. The purpose of this knife is as a backup to the assisted opening fairbairn-applegate folder I keep in my strongside pocket.

I harbor no illusions about knives being good defensive weapons, but I also see the benefit of having more tools at my disposal.

The knife must not be too big or heavy (it is replacing a rajah which is both), so as not to print obviously.

Under $50 is preffered.
 
Kershaw Ram. You can probably find one on the exchange for under 50. Otherwise, they're about 60 bucks new.
 
I Have A Few Good Ideas.
I Am Also Very Right Handed Lol.
And There Are Very FEW Knives I Can Do Left Handed. But Spydercos - I Can.
So You Probably Can Too.
Keep In Mind That My Left Hand Is Very Awkward And Weak, Especially Compared To My Right Hand.

So Here's A Few:
Kershaw Leek
Kershaw Shallot
Spyderco UKPK
Spyderco Tenacious - Or Persistence
Spyderco Delica
Spyderco Endura
Spyderco Native

If You Can Go A Little Over $50 - Check Out A Benchmade Griptilian Or Mini Griptilian.
 
I keep a Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara 2 with zip-tie mod in my left front jeans pocket as a beater knife for cutting abrasive and gooey materials.
 
Thanks for the replies so far. Some good options listed.

Also.... shameful self bump.

I'd rather not say, for confidentiality's sake. It's nothing exciting anyway. Just a place where I'm not supposed to be armed but the public can be, and in a line of business where people are often not happy or emotionally/mentally stable. Also, my employer's idea of security is "call 911 if you are in danger."
