So when my girlfriend asked if I could suggest a knife to help her open beer boxes at work, obviously I got excited being a bit of a knife nut. Obvious choice was a Spyderco Ladybug...
Wrong.
The ladybug is too small and she has a hard time using the lockback on such a small blade with wet hands and long-ish fingernails.
I've been thinking about what to get her next but I'm stumped (obviously I'm keeping the ladybug for myself lol). So... fellow blade-heads.... here's the want list of features:
Lightweight
Slim design (needs to fit in her yoga pants with the bar-blade)
2.5-3" blade
Button lock or some sort of easy to close lock
Easy opening blade (spydie hole or flipper)
<$500
