Published: 2 weeks ago
???? Top 12 Best Thin Pocket Knives for Your Money in 2025 ????
Looking for the best thin and slim pocket knives in 2025 that won’t bulk up your pocket — and won’t break the bank? I count down the 12 overall best (with superior value) slim knives that are sleek, lightweight, and perfect for everyday carry (EDC). Whether you’re an EDC minimalist, a fidgeter, or just want a knife that disappears in your jeans, this list has something for you. These knives are not just a thick handle with a thin blade (like the Opinel No. 8 Slimline); these DISAPPEAR in your pocket! The knives on this list are so slim that the Benchmade Bugout, Spyderco Delica, Civivi Elementum, and Civivi Merit couldn't even make the list!
