OOPS, POSTED IN WRONG SECTION PLEASE MOVE - SORRY

Well, after collecting a bunch of spydercos, a few benchmades, and even a CR sebenza I sold them all for the exception of my Spyderco Caly 3 PE. My Caly 3 was my first "expensive" knife ever and I still love it to this day; however, I need a knife that is smaller for certain occasions.

There are a few things that this knife must be ... that those are:
-Must be a folder
-Must have a pocket clip
-Must be plain edge
-Must be UNDER 3"

Now, I dont care what this knife really looks like, but I dont want it to look tactical (remember this is a smaller blade for a reason!) and I dont want it to look like a spyderco kopa & be afraid to get it dirty!

Thanks!!! :thumbup:

Help!

Edit: I dont want another Spyderco
 
There are lots of 3"kershaws, the storm and leek come to mind. Unless you want a blade under 3", in which case there's the chive and mini mojo. But if you can afford it, get the Mnandi.;)
 
I would love a mnandi, but i am looking to spend more around $100 this time around.

and yes, 3wolves I mean UNDER 3 inch
 
If you don't mind an assisted opening, the Kershaw Scallion is a nice size.

Benchmade

New 480 Nakaruma 2.89 inch? (expensive 200 bucks)
 
I appreciate all the help, but after looking at all the above, I still havent found one that I like.

I need a knife with a pocket clip.
 
Boker Hyper is a great knife. Sub three inch frame lock that has a very open design so its easy to clean, cheap enough that you won't mind abusing it or losing it.
 
Benchmade 556 Mini-Griptilian?

2.91" 154cm steel plain edge blade. Thumb-studs instead of the thumb-hole so it does not look like spyderco.
Roughly $40 under your budget, so you won't have to be afraid to abuse it.
& it comes with a clip
also available with yellow, pink or blue handle so it wouldn't look too tactical.
 
I have a benchmade already, in my glovebox of my car :)

Anyway, I bought a SOG twitch 1 ... I was going to buy a Flash 1 too, but I want to see what the twitch is like first. I really wanted a knife that I can seriously conceal and keep out of site for like weddings, etc.. even hide in my hand closed. Thing I love about the flash 1 is the lock release. I will probably be picking that up as long as the twitch is quality
 
An excellent value, no blade play, strong G-10/steel liner construction. Inexpensive. Blade is about 2.5 inches with a reversible pocket clip. I got 2 @ less than $25 a piece.

Jersey the spyderco leafstorm will at the earliest come out in september and maybe later as it is still in development.
I think this one will be about 200 dollars : Looking at the estimated Rocklobster design which will be at an arround 180 bucks streetprice.

For hundred bucks a small under 3# knive with a clip.
You stated you do not want a spyderco otherwize i would have suggested the etched SS dragonfly in VG10 which has a clip and does not look tactical.
Less purdy and expensive as a kopa.
