If you give up the straight edge requirement, you can get some of the Dragonfly series knives in ZDP-189, which should meet your better steel requirement nicely.

I have a bunch of Dragonfly and Kopa models, and they're nice knives. I do prefer the Tuff Lite knives for actual use, though.

Personally, as a nurse myself, I don't carry a knife while at the hospital, but instead trauma shears and maybe a pry bar like a Gerber Shard. I haven't run into a situation yet that the shears or the pry bar haven't able to do and it isn't as intimidating to patients or visitors.



However if you do need a small knife, just like everyone else suggests, the Dragonfly 2 is exceptional.

I have the ZDP-189 version of the Dragonfly and it is perfect for EDC.

If you looking for an even smaller folder check out the Manbug which also does come in a [ZDP-189 variant]

This one? It's been in my cart for a while, and I don't think there are many better deals on knives with that steel. Keep in mind it will be tough for a beginner to sharpen that steel.

FRN Spyderco Native is a back-lock but gets you S30V under $100.

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 in ZDP189 is also a back-lock but is legal pretty much anywhere and has a kickass steel for under $70.

Honestly though, as a Sage owner... just bite the bullet and get the Sage. Or maybe look at building your own S30V Mini Grip.

If you could go a little bigger I'd suggest the dragonfly 2 in zdp189 because I've used H1 on a pacific salt and it didn't hold an edge very well. That said, I was snorkeling with it and never wiped off the blade and it didn't rust. So if you never ever want it to rust and don't mind 420j2level edge retention then that's fine (420j2 is (either is or is similar to) the steel spyderco uses as liners in their nicer knives) or you can have something that most likely won't rust and will hold a ridiculous edge.
