Thanks for all the great suggestions. I think I'm going with the Little Native with black blade.

It’s pretty thick for thin slacks.

Chaparral or an SAK would be better dress options.

Good luck however you go!

The Delica and Chaparral are outstanding choices. I want to suggest the Para 3 LW in DLC. The black wire clip is barely noticeable and the knife so light that it won't weigh down your pocket.

Good choice! I carry one when I want a very discreet knife clipped to my pocket, but still want something that feels a bit more hand-filling than a Dragonfly 2, just in case I have to do some cutting that will need me to bear down on the knife.

I'd go with the CF Chaparral, it's got a black deep carry wire clip, XHP blade, it's lightweight...

Hello, I have a few Spyderco knives with the smallest being an Endela. Looking for something smaller than the Endela in black with a black clip that I can comfortably wear in black work trousers without being noticable. Can be a current model or something older I can get used. Prefer a premium steel. Thanks for your help in advance!
The lightweight Native is excellent for concealed carry.

Perfect choice!! :)

Btw.: Some people find the Chaparral backlock to be quite stiff / hard to operate at first: Should this be the case with yours:
It will break in or there is an easy mod for this (moving the "spring" a bit forward in its socket)
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

My usual recommendation for any sort of office/slacks carry is any flavor of the Chaparral. In this case, the Black CF/G10 model sounds like it suits your needs. CTS XHP steel. Black wire clip. Very discreet.
I'd agree.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)
