Thin light & disappears in your pocket!

Here's a quick comparison of a few small thin knives. From top down: Cricket, Dragonfly, Leek, and the Mnandi.

My recommendation is hands down the Mnandi; it is the knife I carry most of the time and it is a very capable knife for it's size. Since you're looking for a knife under $200, my second choice would be the Dragonfly. I would carry this knife more often, but I'm not a fan of the lock back. The Cricket is amazingly thin and light, but the blade shape makes it difficult to use as a general utility knife. I don't like the Leek at all, but that may be because it is an assisted opening knife.

I've also seen the Al Mar Ultralights and was very impressed by them. I would have picked one up, but again not a fan of the lock style.

Of course the smallest and lightest knife is the Spyderco Bug:

Can't beat the BM 530, many of the other knives mentioned woodenly even be considered featherweight to me ( leek, blur, delica)
 
You did not mention if you want a lock or not. If you like slpjoints, then you possibilities multiply quickly! You start getting into custom territory for 200.
 
another :thumbup: for the mnandi. Or a plain Jane small sebenza. For something larger that dissapears into the pocket an Umnumzaan is great, I have been EDC'ing one for 2 years.

Also check out the Ti-lock.. Most places have an abundance of them.

I like CRK's. .. can you tell :D
