Very light edc knife 3-4 inch long with clip for summer carry?

Boker Honeycomb titan.

Great long handle, thin blade, titanium liners, just gave one up and considering buying another...

My personal summer go to in basketball shorts is a large Buck Vantage Pro.

Both cost right around $60.
 
The lightest I own is a 940-1. It's crazy light. All spydies fit this bill and don't overlook the cold steel folders. Cheap and tough and well built. There is a ton of great folders with your requirements!! Good luck picking one. Lol.
 
I couldn't ask for more from my BM 531. It's the easy choice for light weight or slim type carry. It's perfect for dress slacks (daily use) and for shorts (weekend use).
 
My personal choice for a very lightweight knife with a 3+ inch blade is the Urban Trapper.
 
I have found that the Spyderco Stretch conforms to my large hand very, very well. You can buy it in FRN or G10 scales, and several excellent blade-steels. I have one in VG-10 and just bought another in ZDP-189. It is an excellent slicer, has a nice clip, is light but capable.

+1 for the trapper

VG-10 steel. Ti liners. Different scale material options. Reasonably priced. Deep carry clip. Flipper. All around good knife
 
Manix2 Light Weight (obviously) :cool:

In case the length your looking for is for the blade and not oal , I thought I'd mention that we he bucklite max comes in small medium and large sizes.
 
I have been carrying the Benchmade Mini Barrage in shorts for the last couple of days. It sometimes feels heavy to me in thin shorts.

My favorite "shorts knife" is the Spyderco Kiwi 4 when I want thin and light (and nice). Really like the wharncliffe blade for general cutting. Tried the Cold Steel Tuff Lite, but I just felt the knife wasn't made very well. But if fits the hand really well and is similar to the Kiwi.

Been known to carry the Kabar Dozier Folding Hunter which is light and inexpensive (~$20). For me, the potential for loss increases wearing shorts and sometimes I just go "cheap" if I carry a clipped knife or go with a smaller SAK.
 
I am cheap so I don't want to lose anything and cry later over the expense.

MY EDC carry for lightweight summer has been a rotation of 2.
Sundays and events where it has to be very lowkey and just to have as a tool if something ever needs opened or cut is My Buck 309 Companion. I think it was 22 at Wal Mart.

My other is again not the highest cost or extremest metal or anything. With jeans or shorts I have been wearing a CRKT Enticer. 2 oz. of sharp nice carry with the lock so my grand daughter or anyone else accidently opens and cuts themselves.

You won't regret it if you pick one up👍
Bucks 420hc is the best of it's kind and it holds an edge very respectably for edc plus is easy to sharpen.
If you don't end up liking it, you won't be out much money.
 
Kabar Dozier Folder is a good option, for another one (also Dozier) check out Ontario's Dozier Arrow. It's a large but lightweight blade (no liners though, so don't push it *too* hard), D2 steel, G10 grips.

The endura/delica are perfect for what you describe. The Rat 1 is dreadfully heavy by comparison.

I suggest the Kershaw Skyline if you want something a little different, but like the slim, lightweight profile.
 
I give seconds to spyderco's PM2. I wore it just last weekend on a 17 mile hike in light gym shorts and it did just fine. Also one of the better made knives out there. Love mine. It's light enough that you forget its there but heavy enough to notice if it fell out.
