I have been carrying a few different Boker Urban Trappers on a daily basis over the past few years. https://www.bokerusa.com/pocke...rban-trapper-01bo730

There are a lot of things to like about this knife, it is incredibly light, I can wear it with dress slacks and it is comfortable and don't pull. The pocket clip is high on the knife, allowing it to really disappear in pocket. I hate having the top 20% of the knife sticking out of my pocket.

There are a few things that piss me off about it, mainly the pocket clip is weak- so it is prone to bending more open, and not gripping your pocket as tight. I lost my first one that way. Also, because it is so light, it feels a bit lacking in backbone strength.

Now to the question- what alternatives are out there? Under $200, light weight, high pocket clip, assisted opener or easy flip opener (as with the Boker), one hand close (so no lock on the middle of the handle), roughly 3" blade.

I have a Gerber Paul Knife that I purchased in 1979 with then faux pearl colored grips. It is slightly used for my fly fishing trips and everyday carry, but in great shape. PM me if anyone might have an interest.
