I am looking for a new Slim Profile, Less the 3" blade, Lowride Clip, with Micarta or Carbon Fiber Handle material. My EDC is the CF Delica, I love it, and I wish they would make more. I have my eye on the Almar Ultralight Talon, what else should I have my eye on?

I wear dress slacks in a business type atmosphere so I need something that can ride in the waist band with out much discomfort and without a lot sticking out on the top.

Thanks!

Ryan

This one?
 
If you want to spend some money the WH Westcliff or some of their other models are very thin.
 
As soon as I read your list of criteria, the Benchmade Mini-Pika was the first knife I thought of. Don't be misled by its relatively low price, as it is an excellent knife. The 440C blade is just under 3", the clip is one of the lowest-riding I've come across, and it is slim and lightweight. Mine has virtually no blade play and locks up tight as a vault. I never hesitate to recommend one of these.
 
You'll be hard pressed to find a knife with a thinner profile than a SS Spyderco Cricket - a little over 1/4" excluding clip. The SS Cricket is much nicer than the cheap looking FRN model. (and has a framelock) If you feel like something a little dressier you might look at a Sante Fe Stoneworks customized Spyderco's.
