I have quite a few knives and like a quality blade. I found a SOG Trident in my wife's stuff and promptly adopted it.
Here is a good video review that addresses blade to grip size ratios that you may have never considered. The blade is a little longer than you like but it is an assisted opener and it works well. The clip allows the knife to be carried very low in the pocket. You can get the basic model for $60 and camo or Ti models for a little more. "Mine" is a desert digital and I carry it at work and home, even in slacks, without noticing it. The grip seems large but it actually works very well.

Went to Bass Pro. They only had the 3". Anyone know the cheapest place for the Vantage small?
I want a 2.5" now. 2.25 is fine too. 3 was too big.
ETA: might not get the Buck, the handle is pretty long compared to the blade.

Alright, I'm placing an order for two Vantage Smalls. One for me, one for my wife. The ones I saw in Bass were the large, so this size should be fine. Thanks for all the help!

You might also look at the Bucklite line. The 3" is under $20 last I looked. I had a 4" for a while, it was a very good knife.

Does the Benchmade Griptilian/Mini Griptilian have the type of blade you're looking for available?

I've got several Kershaw models - hold an edge reasonably well, strong pocket clip, screws never came loose, they do have several models made in the US, the Speedsafe line is fast, inexpensive enough that you woun't cry if you loose it (Cabelas usually has them on sale) the made in China models can be even less expensive. Good bang for the buck.
