Thin pocket knife?

I've had my eye on the CRKT S.P.E.W or Kershaw Hotwire. I just don't know much about them. My normal every day carry knife is too bulky and big and I carry several things in my pockets so I'd like a knife a little on the thinner side. Does anyone have any info on either one of these knives? I realize one is a folder and one is a fixed blade but I think even if I had to carry the fixed blade in the sheath in my pocket it's small enough it wouldn't be very noticeable.
 
I'm a fan of Kershaw knives. My brother had the Kershaw Leek and it is a pretty sweet knife. I don't have any experience with Boker knives but I've heard good things. I'm thinking I'll give the Hotwire and CRKT both a try. I don't need two new knives but I don't need a lot of things I have so it won't hurt nothin I don't guess. The Kershaw Hotwire is actually pretty reasonable priced. You can get them for under $10. Not too bad for a Kershaw. As far as I know they're pretty good knives.

I do like Benchmade knives a lot. I don't own one though so I'm gonna do some research.

Spyderco Delica 4... Can't be beat for build quality and blade steel unless you spend a whole bunch more money. Thin, lightweight, tough, has a clip and is fast one hand opening. Plus it's a cutting machine!
 
I bought the Kershaw Hotwire the other day. Really good knife for the money as far as I can tell. Got it for a little over $10. I keep it in my change pocket so it doesn't take up much room. Thin and light weight enough I really don't even notice it's there.

^^^This. After trying a lot of options for EDC I landed on one of these and have never looked back. If you watch eBay you can find some auction deals...

The Spyderco serrated edge is the sharpest edge I’ve ever seen on any knife.

Realize I'm late to the party, but i love the Spyderco Tenacious. 8CR steel that sharpens fast on my diamond stones, small and compact, and under 50 dollars.
