Small, Sturdy Folder for Dad

[tasd]

Hey Guys,

My Dad recently lost his work edc, and Im looking to get him a replacement for xmas. Here is what im looking for:

- Small blade, on the order of 2"
- "Thinner" profile, not looking to get him a tank
- locking preferred, but not a necessity
- Solid build. I want it to last him a while

Im not looking for a swiss army knife, just a simple single blade folder. I was looking at some of the smaller spydies, but figured you guys could throw out some more suggestions.

Oh and he would kill me if I spent too much on it, lets put a $50 dollar cap on it.

Thanks alot guys

Spyderco Dragonfly, Stainless Handle

This is the one I was looking at. I know the Buck 55 is a great little knife, but I dont think its his style.

How about a Kershaw Skyline? A bit longer than he may be accustomed to, but it is very slim and disappears into your pocket.

I dunno, the spyderco ambitious maybe.

The spyderco dragonfly but I would say in FRN or g-10. Its nice and compact knife
