What should be my next small lightweight knife?

Hi Abbazaba. I think some people are reading your current options list as knives you are considering, not knives you already own. How much are you looking to spend?

As long as you are looking at a small Sebenza, check out the Inkosi too.
 
I carry a BM 707 Sequel the most for that size range. It's a really strong/capable knife for it's size. I recently saw somebody selling one for $105 in the exchange if you wanted to give it a try.

Thanks, I changed the OP. I guess I was hoping to spend under $200, not that it needs to be that expensive.

Thanks. I'm not a huge fan of inlays, but I am overdue to give that one a shot.

Try the Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite or Tuff Lite. Office friendly cutting awesomeness. The Mini's come in colors, too.

The Tuff Lite is a good suggestion. I actually had one and sold it. Great knife but just wasn't for me.
 
BM Sequel, BM Mini Stryker, Spyderco Air, Microtech UTX-70, Fallkniven U2, Opinel, Higonokami? The Stryker has a lot of nice features to it and I find it carries better than the mini grip, the Fallkniven U4 is one of my dad's favorites, great steel, lightweight, simple lockback. UTX-70 is small, but still has that double action OTF fun (outside of your price range though). Can't go wrong with an Opinel. Higonokamis are fun/interesting.

Oops, forgot to list my Air and Opinel in the OP (added). I had and sold a Mini Stryker, mostly because it was the tanto version. If I see a deal on the drop point I will pick up another. The U4 is a good possibility. Thank you!
 
Spyderco ppt has a 3.16" blade and isn't that common. It might be a bit odd in an office setting, but will work nicely as a letter opener.

If you want something a bit dressier, check out William Henry.
 
KnifeCenter just sent out an email with some cool custom higonokami styled friction folders. Carbon fiber and wood handles, D2 steel, clip points and reverse tantos. They were running between $80 and $150, most of them weigh at or less than an ounce. The makers were Kansei Matsuno and Hiroaki Ohta. OH, that reminds me... Viper Dans are really neat.

I actually have the black PPT sprint run. Cool knife, definitely not light or small IMO.
 
My wife got me this last Christmas.
It's an AG Russell K12 , one hand knife.

It's about the size of a Kershaw Leek , but it's all titanium so it's light.
Easy to flick open and you can close the knife with your thumb and flick closed. It's available with a few different handle scales.
I use it for office carry all the time. It can ride comfortably inside your pocket, but aslo has a deep carry, reversible pocket clip.

The Viper Dans are over 3oz, but YES I NEED ONE :)
