Leek is good. For the thinnest, lightest high quality pocket knife, check out AG Russell's knives.

Try an AL Mar Osprey with a small thong through the handle. That leaves lust a small piece of para chord hanging out of her pocket.

I have two EDC knives. One is a ZT0566 that I use on work days, and a Kershaw Leek for "light duty"
The leek is great, it just disappears into your pocket. |

A tried and true Mercator has resided behind my wallet for many a year....... .057" thick at it's very thickest part. The Germans make good stuff.
There is no reason the lanyard loop could not be removed and a clip installed in it's place. Of course for the ladies a girly looking tassel of some sort could be used to pull it from the pocket with. |

The Wave version comes out fast as an auto and gives you a hook to use with the knife closed to pull or lever things. Like beer bottle caps. I've found the waved Endura to be the best EDC knife I've carried. Delica's perfect for a chick-sized knife. |

Good choice, that's what I carry everyday. Found it NIB at a pawn shop for $50. Yeah, you stole that one. Best I've seen from legit Spyderco dealers on Ebay has been $90-$95, which is a great deal, not because it's ZDP189 (nothing stupendous,) but because I want one with a different steel vs. VG10. I have a blue Endura 4 and I see it offered in ZDP189, but I want the smaller Delica for my next Spyderco, if I don't do the M4 PMII, for a bit more cash. Chris |

I'm looking for a thin pocket knife for the GF.

Benchmade 940 is a possible contender. Might be just a bit higher than your budget. You can always get the "deep carry" pocket clip for it.
It's my favorite "slim deep carry" folder. My next choice for thin is a Microtech Ultratech OTF. |

I currently carry a Kershaw Leek, which I bought on a whim. The price was just too good pass up. It is nice and slim, but mine has clip mounts only one side. On the plus side, it can be sharpened razor sharp, is incredibly slim, and is small enough not to generate too much attention. The assisted opening feature is useful when opening it one-handed. On the negative side, the blade tip can be a bit "delicate". I only use mine for cutting tasks and will switch to knives with a thicker blade when I know I will be cutting cardboard or other thick materials.
