Thin, light one handed opening knife under 8cm/3.14"

[chempe]

Hi,

I'm looking for a Thin, light one handed opening knife under 8cm/3.14". Something like Samior GP035 Slim Flipper knife but it's a bit longer than our law allow us to carry with. I've just found the CRKT CEO and CEO Flipper but I'd like to know if there are more knives like this.

I just picked up a CJRB Ria and it’s pretty awesome. Small, great action, 2.95” blade.

Try a BM 945.

That long, skinny "fruit tester" blade isn't very common in modern folders.
Try the Boker Urban Trapper Petite or Mini Kwaiken for similar, but not quite as skinny, shape.
The WE Scamp and Gentry have similar blades, but are slipjoints.

I have one of these, opens great, easy knife to use.

Look at the Civvi and Kizer products.

Welcome to the forums. I had to google Samior knives. I've never heard of them.

So you want a blade length under Pi? (Get it? 3.14159... )

Kizer Feist close enough in design?

What's your budget?

Thanks for your answers. I have nice Spyderco under Pi size, but it's wide and thick. I usually just open boxes with the knife. I have 7 keys and a wallet in my pocket so it must be small. I was thinking on a mini knife but the handle is also small so it's not very ergonomic.

70€/80$

How about an Enzo/Brisa Birk? 75mm blade length. If you remove the pocket clip, it's pretty slim. If you use the pocket clip, it's a deep carry clip and you'll hardly know you have a knife in your pocket. It can be completely dismantled for cleaning and you can get it in either full flat grind or Scandi. At a bit over $100 (US) depending on the scales you choose, it sounds about in your price range. I have one of each and they're excellent.

Civivi Chronic/Exarch, Buck Decatur (kind of crappy steel, but its cheap), Boker urban trapper, kwaikan air, Civivi Imperium, Civivi Appalachian Drifter 2, Rustic Gent, kershaw launches if you can own autos, CJRB Ria, small feldspar, Kizer Swayback, kershaw leek...I'm sure I'm missing lots.

My personal pick would be the Imperium, it's a great knife that can also do work because of a more comfortable handle for me.

Thank for your recommendations. Finally I found these knives:

Looks like the Lumi is ‘your’ knife…

 

[AntDog]

Kizer Tomcat?

 

[Bob Denman]

Benchmade Valet?

Congrats!
Based on personal experience, I’d try to avoid most CRKTs and Bokers.
