Push Knife Confusion!!!

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Cold Steel Safe Keeper iii and it's bigger than I thought so sadly I'm gonna have to return it.

Does anyone know of a push knife that does not exceed a blade length of 2" (for legal reasons) and has a belt clip on the sheath?

I'm looking at a Gerber Uppercut but I'm kind of skeptical as far as quality goes and the handle seems highly uncomfortable

I've looked into a Mantis BK-1 "Wicked Boot Knife" but it's way more expensive and the blade would not be good (I have a little balisong by mantis with the same blade shape and it's honestly more for looks than anything because it doesn't cut for s***)

There are some other cold steel ones that look good but I'm confused about the blade length, the CS safe maker ii seems smaller than the safe keeper iii but the info online says it has a blade length of 3.25" which doesn't make sense to me, and then the Best Pal has no clip and definitely seems smaller than the safe keeper iii but is listed as being the same blade length of 2.5"!

If anyone has any side by side pictures of any or all the knives listed above or new recommendations of their own I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advanced,

Ps
I already own an urban pal which is why in looking for something slightly bigger with a clip on the sheath too preferably so I can carry it concealed on my belt, or waistband.
 
If you're familiar with Cold Steel already, what do you think of the Urban Pal? It's pretty small.
 
I thought the length limit on knives in California only applied to switchblades.

If you can carry a knife blade longer than two inches, you might want to take a look at Gerber's replacement for the Uppercut, the Ghostrike Punch Knife. It doesn't have a belt clip; its belt carry capability only works for belts thin enough to slide through the long slots on the sheath.

The 2" law applies to fixed blades, automatics, and balis, and for fixed blade open carry is legal with any blade length but I'm looking to conceal mine as to not scare random civilians
