Reddit mentions of Baladéo 22G Superlight Locking Knife w/Pocket Clip

Just FYI, people get suspicious of long amazon links; they frequently get misidentified as referral links and people go nuts. Good practice to go for the short form: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00470B89Q

super thin folder? I don't think you'll find anything that beats the baladeo 22G (they make a 34G and 16G as well, same knives just different size), I have one and its a good little knife, good quality for the price point. I haven't had issues with the frame lock or cutting myself with the closed blade like some of the reviews say. I have a kiss assist as well and if you don't have issues cutting yourself with that one, you won't with the baladeo. Definitely a light duty knife though due to how thin it is

Edit: I forgot to add, my condolences on your EDC. I hope the thief gets their karmic rewards.

Hey, whistles are good to have for emergencies. If there's anybody in whistle shot it's a good deterrent to thieves and muggers of all sort, and is great if you're trapped by or lost during a disaster.

The Boker Subcom and the Kershaw Scallion have been among my noteworthy EDC knives.
The Boker Subcom is great because as a short and fat knife it's far too ridiculous for the knife averse general culture of the city to raise the hue and cry, and yet it has excellent ergonomics and is very small.
The Kershaw Ken Onion (chive, scallion, leek) knives all have an assisted open that can be illegal depending on your country/state/municipality laws. But it's a really solid knife, feels great in my hand, and I like the blade profile.

The Baladéo knives are really attractive and ultra light weight, but I've seen complaints about the frame twisting and the lock giving out even under moderate use.

I don't buy a lot of knives, so little advice on where to buy. I bought the Boker from the EDC forum store. The prices for knives seems comparable or better than Amazon (pre-shipping).

For price, well, you can obviously get a quite serviceable knife for 25-40$, but I've heard a lot of people say they feel like they got what they paid for in a more expensive knife.

Aside from Boker and Kershaw, I see Spyderco and Benchmade mentioned often for knife EDC. (Spyderco makes a keychain knife called the ladybug that half-way to ubiquitous on EDCf's keychain board.)

As for out of the ordinary... I'd have to go with my sliver grippers, and maybe my camping mirror (I've had both the acrylic and the stainless steel, acrylic will eventually crack, steel scratches like crazy, though you can re-polish). Oh, and my Gerber Shard (there are better one-piece keychain tools out there, but you can't beat that price).

There was a great thread a little bit ago with a lot of great advice for starting an EDC. Gave me one or two ideas and recommendations.

This looks like a ripoff of the Baladeo 22G and 34G knives.
