Spyderco with an orange handle generally means sprint run with blade is in HAP40/SUS410, which is probably one of my favorite blade steel(s). My current favorite EDC is a Spyderco Delica 4 in HAP40 with a Wharncliffe blade. MAN - that thing is so slicey it should be illegal And, it holds an edge really well.
I have a 112 Slim Pro in micarta,s35vn steel and it is light and thin, brown or green micarta,orblack G10. The Slim regular has 420hc steel which is good everyday steel, and different colors. I like the brighter colors available in case it is dropped while outdoors. The clip on mine is not too bulky and slips easy off the pocket.Is this close enough to orange? It is also offered in a yellowish green (chartreuse)
Buck 112 slim
Nice work PirateHere are list of options I can find
SK Blades Inferno the blade is 3.5"
Buck Mini Spitfire slightly under 3"
Buck Spitfire slightly over 3" and if you want to get fancy customize one
Spyderco Delica 4
Kizer Sunburst another 3.5"
Over budget but you may want to look at
LionSteel SR-22 not a thin knife but a good knife
Viper Hinderer Storm not exactly thin but shouldn't be too much
LionSteel TRE thinner than the SR22 and just as solid but more expensive
Viper Kyomi this might be my top choice and of the over budget it might be the least so
