Hey guys, i know you probably hear this once a week, but i'm getting the Maxpedition micro wallet, and am wondering if there are any knives suitable to carry in it, it also has to be sub-50$ and come in a non-serrated model, any suggestions much appreciated!

Byrd/Spyderco Flatbyrd -- discontinued, I think and $20 or so - wallet sized.
SOG Access Card - Has a clip that might need to come off, but is wallet sized.
SpyderCard - discontinued several years ago - precursor to the Flatbyrd - can be found for $60 or so.

Buck Hartsook? Under $30, small, thin, s30v. The sheath sucks, but the wallet should provide some retention for it. Stick the sheath to the wallet with some velcro tape and you're all set.
BCB Creditcard multi tool it's only $5.95 http://www.bestglide.com/bcb_mini_tool_info.html
I carry one every day. Admittedly the knife is not that sharp out of the box and won't win any prizes for ergonomics but it's durable and loaded with useful features.

Well...all the Tool Logic stuff seems to be serrated. I'm guessing someone makes a similar card with knife, tweezers, etc and has a knife w/o serrations. Try googling "credit card knife" or something similar.
Swiss Army Swisscard has a letter opener/knife, not sure how sharp it is.
I can't find my Benchmade Benchmite 2 atm, but I'm thinking that is almost thin enough to go in a wallet.
Check the rules for concealed weapons in your state too. Not sure if this stuff classifies as such.

Victorinox Bantam. It's super thin so it fits in a wallet nicely.
The Smidgen for $15 is the same but in Buck's 420HC, which is quite good.
It will be much easier to sharpen.
And in a knife that small with minimal hard use, do you need to have s30v that is hard to sharpen.
They have improved the sheath.
Also a Spyderco Ladybug in VG10 will fit in a wallet

Recognize these? MiniPal and Super Edge by CS. I got them specifically for wallet (or undercover super agent secret hidden lapel/baseball cap) carry so I got rid of the kraton handles, they fit between credid card sized pieces of cardboard or thin plastic, but you can just stick them in a wallet as they are. Unfortunately they're serrated, but for me that's a good thing. Both slice like a much bigger blade.
Then there are these:
All steel push daggers, slim and lightweight, plus you get two PE blades and a very good grip. A piece of plastic and duct tape will eliminate wallet and pocket punctures.
My favourite for wallet carry:
Requires a bigger wallet and not very good for utility, I know.
The CRKT Ringer also fits a wallet, but i find it totally useless for... well, anything. Dodgy grip, to begin with, but it's a blade, anyway.
Or you could get one of CRKT Stiff KISSes and cut off unnecessary bits.
Loadsa slim blades out there.

The swisscard is std Victorinox sharpness. You can get it shaving sharp in no time. Its only problem is the weak plastic. Cutlerylover has a nice review of it on youtube.

The comment about the Hartsook sheath sucking--flat out wrong at this point. The first ones, definitely yes. They'd fall out of their sheaths the instant you looked at 'em wrong. They now use a sheath system like the Kaala. Much better.

The smallest size Douk-Douk might work for you also. I would probably drop my Victorinox Bantam or Bantam II it. They are very flat and still quite serviceable for routine chores.
or a Mercator/Linder black cat k55k... it's less than 1/4" thick
Something to think about...
Are you looking for a blade with a useable handle? Or is this an absolute, last ditch backup cutting edge?

I think a Spyderco Cricket with the clip removed should work.

The best credit card or wallet knife ever, was the Microtech Option II, had one and carried for several years until my wallet was stolen out of my truck on Christmas Eve, nice huh. I only wish I would have caught em, I killed em all, miserably m#$#R F*(KRs, sorry I just despise thievery. Anyway it was a large frame lock folder that was very big but very easy to carry as a credit card at the same time, used it many times to clean squirrels, open feed bags and all kinda stuff. It was so big you could use it comfortably and it was big enough for real work and use.
The knife was awesome and then like everything that seems to be great it was in Mircotech infinite wisdom discontinued, I paid $80.00 for mine NIB. The sell on Ebay now for between $200.00 and $400.00 bucks.
Theres one up right now fleabay, I'd love to have it buy the econ is BAD, BAD, BAD down here and I'm broke as a joke.

My wallet knife is made from a Victorinox paring knife with a black plastic handle, wich I snapped off in a vise. I then grinded off a little bit of the edge where I would grip it, tied on a piece of flat leather lace for handle, made a flat sheat/edge cover for it, and had made a knife that has lived in my wallet for years.
