I'm currently looking for folders that are thin and light which disappear in your pocket for example the Kershaw Leek. Anything along those lines you guys can recommend?

Price range <200
Looking for smaller sized folders around 2-3 inch blade?

Kershaw Blur is slightly larger and heavier than the Leek, but is still relatively slim.
 
Al Mar Ultralight line, Benchmade 530, AG Russell FeatherLite One-hand Knife, AGR Ultimate Pen Knife, AGR lockback line, any of Spyderco's little big knives like the Dragonfly

edit: Chris Reeve Knives Mnandi is very nice also
 
CRKT Frame lock Ripple. Light, a little bigger than the Leek and it's a buttery smooth flipper.
 
hundreds of knives fit this description. delica 4 would get my vote if youre trying to keep it around the leek cost as well.
 
This all depends on your price range.
I would say the Spyderco Chaparral.

And if you want larger, the Spyderco Chokwe.
 
Slim and light - Benchmade 530 Pardue is the main one that pops to mind. It's probably the lowest profile knife I've ever seen. It weighs in at a whopping 1.88 oz. AXIS lock, 154CM blade. I prefer something a bit more heavy duty, but I doubt you'll find much lighter than that.
 
CS Hold out is super thin, really excellent slicing capability, and quite light too
 
Kabar dozier, if I recall from my dad's, is very slim, maybe just half-a-hair slimmer than my Leek. The main draw is that it is EXTREMELY light at 2.3-2.4oz, which is the weight of a $60 Delica for only $15-$20.

Most small traditionals should be under your consideration, if you don't mind slipjoints, as well as the one and two layer Victorinox alox models, like the Cadet and Secretary.

A little higher in the price range are the Al Mar ultralights. I have never seen this one in person, but I definitely want one. When these kind of threads come up, the Al Mar Eagle Ultralights are ALWAYS mentioned several times. They must be doing something right, or maybe it's just because the name has "ultralight" in it. Hope this helped.
 
I know what's thin, light, and disappears OUT of your pocket! :D
