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

Wife and mother-in-law wanted the same requirements in a knife, the both now have Kershaw Leeks.

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.

This is the thinnest folder I have Benchmade Pardue http://www.sportco.com/store/pc/catalog/530pardueplain_1069_general.jpg It's certainly not heavy duty or anything but fine for most EDC tasks. ETA: it's also avalible in a few different styles. View Quote I've been carrying one of these for a few years now. Nice knife. |

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 in VG10. One of the best knives I have ever owned.

Another vote for the 530. My lady friend carries a swiss army knife.... because it has wine opener.

Op check out kershawguy.com you can grab a blem leek for cheap and see how she likes it. Get a nicer one later if you you feel like it. It's too bad you can't get the random leek anymore. I love mine.

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. |

Leek is good. For the thinnest, lightest high quality pocket knife, check out AG Russell's knives. View Quote Spyderco Delica is lighter, thinner & stronger in my opinion. Kershaw makes good stuff, but the tip on the Leek isn't strong enough for my taste. I've owned both, gave my Leek away to a buddy, still have the Delica. |

Check-out the SOG Slim Jim. Incredibly thin and light. Very much a specialty type knife. The type to carry but not use routinely. http://www.sogknives.com/slimjim-black-tini.html View Quote Now that's a proper pocket clip. |

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. |

Another vote for the Leek. It's the knife I use with dress slacks.

Buck Mayo TNT if you can find one. Great thin little TI framelock with S30V.

Quoted: Another vote for the Kershaw onion series (Leek, Scallion, Chive). I have had a bunch of them over the years and they have always been good solid reliable blades. The issue I have is loosing them. View Quote |

Another vote for the Kershaw Skyline. Thin, light, great price (around 35 bucks), and made in the USA.

I like the leek, but the scallion and chive has that little safety on them. Had a chive that the safety broke on, and the knife opened in my pocket. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

My EDC, have two of them. One is currently suffering from ED, I need to send it in for service. ETA: I am a construction worker and they get used hard all the time. If you don't use it as a prybar or screwdriver it holds up very well. |

Spyderco Delica /thread I'll go one better: the Delica 4 in ZDP189 laminate steel and British Racing Green scales. That'll be my next non-PMII Spyderco. Chris Lol. 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. She likes ones with a belt clip like the one below so she can tuck them into her pants and have it barely stick out. 2-3" blade and under $150; any ideas? http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd498/libalj/2016-08-21%2010.52.15_zpsvowcaljl.jpg View Quote Look into the SOG SlimJim. They're very thin and assisted opening. |

My Buck SIRUS is incredibly thin, and has been going strong for over a decade now. I love it.
Edit: I paid about $70 for it. At the time, I thought it was a very expensive knife. |

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.

Second vote for the Kershaw Leak, its real thin. I love my Leek but hated the original clip. There's a guy on Ebay selling titanium deep pocket clips so it doesn't stick out of your pocket 3/4" |
