Hello everyone
I'm looking for a folder with around a 2" blade. It needs to lock, have a flipper or thumb stud, and a pocket clip. And be thin and light. Looking to fill a "gentleman" niche. I have a Gerber EBA it's the perfect for me but doesn't look good. I ordered a crkt squid, it's too big and heavy. Both in the pocket and it looks to substantial for what I need now that i have it in person. I haven't held the Civivi mini but from the pictures it's exactly what I'm looking for except there's no pocket clip. I love the looks of the blade and knife it fits my niche really well. Any good suggestions? Trying to stay around $25, that said for the looks of something like the Civivi I'd probably buy it if it has a pocket clip and there's nothing cheaper available.

Thanks!
 
Few off the top of my head, Bestech Tulip, Civivi Ki-V...Boker subcom? Civivi Lumi, spyderco bug, dragonfly...

You might have to give up a requirement, the 25$ is gonna be hard to hit, with the under 2in.

If you stretch the length and budget, the real steel luna is a real winner and very light.

Good luck!

Thank y'all for those recommendations, they all look like good knives but i forgot to mention I'm trying to find a drop point or something really similar to a drop point. Something that looks "non-threatening"
I know I'm being picky with this one Haha. Thing is I travel outside the US where it's not illegal to have a knife but can be at Leo's discretion to confiscate it. Pluss i get less odd looks from people I've just met if i use it Infront of them or say on a date bc of the culture .. that's why I mentions the civivi. It just has a nice elegant look to it. Or a smaller cheaper version of the craighill rook knife would work too.
I might just get the civivi so that said, Any more ideas if i consider knives without a pocket clip?
