Any suggestions on a 3"-4"
stainless serrated edge
full flat grind
folder?

Only ones I could find is Both Spydie
Military
Calypso

The Millie is too large and the Calyp has been discontinued.
 
I think those are really two of your best options. To my knowledge, serrated full flat grinds are pretty rare. Franksly, the Calypso (which you can still find if you look) isn't any smaller than the Military. You could try the Calypso Jr. Which is a bit smaller than you mentioned but is plenty big enough for most things. The Calypso Jr. with micarta scales is REALLY nice.

Actually Spyderco is talking about a reissue of the Calypso Jr. under a different name, but that's probably not going to happen for a while
 
Can you tell me why the Military is too large? It has a 4" blade which is within your limit. I had one and still kind of miss it. It was a really good knife.
 
I have held my friends Milie and have found it to have a very large handle to blade ratio. I also have the BM 710hs, which I find to have the best handle to blade ratio. It also dissapears into my back pocket easily. Cant do that with the Milie.
 
You can still find the Calypso's. Just have to dig around, drop some emails. Good luck on your search.

Thanks for the suggestions. Now that I have done some research, I found that CS has 3 models of flat ground folders. The Vaquero, Land & Sea Rescue and the Trail Guides. I have the Voyager 3" and 4" tanto serrated. They are bloody hard to resharpen. I have since reground them both to saber grind plain edge drop point.
 
There is also the Spyderco Centofante C25 and C50. Both can still be found, and both came in a full SE or PE. They have ATS-34 blades.
