Recommendations for thin stock folder? .10 or thinner..

Very slightly shorter than the requested blade length, but if you want a nice, inexpensive one maybe try the CIVIVI Qubit. Other than having a weirdly ambiguous pronunciation, it's a really nice, slicey little folder.
 
Another plug for the BM Taggedout, it's super slicey, noticeably moreso than the bugout.
 
Kinda surprised nobody’s suggested a Kershaw Leek yet. Blade is .09 thick, and 3” long. It’s super slicey, well under $100, and comes in about a bazzilion variations. Even more if you wanna go the Frankenleek route - which you could by buying two or three, swapping parts around, and still be way under budget…

A kershaw leek is nice and thin. Opinels too.
If you dont feel like you need a lock, try a traditional slipjoint. Case knives are thin and hollow ground. :)
 
Lol I was coming here to recommend a TRM, but I see you’re already familiar. Great knives if you want thin and slicey!
Edit to add:
I’m thinking of getting something cheap this week, I saw a review of the CJRB Pyrite, it’s ~3.25” button lock reverse tanto with a thumb hole and they also make a drop point w/thumb studs. I know the regular version comes in steel and arRPM-9, IIRC they have titanium versions too, but I’m not sure if they upgrade the steel.
It’s more of a budget knife…but it looks kinda cool.

I have a taggedout and a bailout and had a bugout - the taggedout is definitely the sliceyest
 
The Old Hickory folder. It is a little thick behind the edge, but this is a quick and easy fix with India stone.
 
They only come in carbon and Sandvik 12C27, but while you're getting a more expensive knife, if you want slicey, you should pick up an Opinel No. 10 as an add-on purchase while you're at it.
 
Spyderco Watu is thin and slicey, plus I like their compression lock. It gives you something different than what you have now. It is listed 0.098" and it has a flat grind. Expect to pay around $220 retail.
 
As much as benchmade sucks… bailout in 3V with a proper edge on it.
 
I'm not sure if Cold steel code 4 falls into this category I guess it was as thin as you wanted it to be. If you consider the S35vn and triadlock and its price, it doesn't have much competition.
If it's not that thin, I think a kizer slicer or manly city s90v might do the trick.

Just looking to add something else to the stable. Been on a thin "slicy" kick for a few months now.. looking for something in the .10 or .090 stock area. Maybe even thinner.

My daily 90% of the time is still the Neutron 2, I also already have an Atom, a Bugout, and a Nerd. Have done a little searching the major vendors, but most won't let you filter by blade width, only length. Would be much easier that way..

No real specific requirements. Between 3 and 4 inch blade, any lock type is a go. Thumb studs, "holes", and flippers are all good. Id say anything 14c28n or up. Gonna try to keep this one under $350ish.. possibly.

So what would yall recommend that I might not have thought about?
