$180 budget, help me decide!

I like the Sages (I have 1 and 3). They're very easy to carry, comfortable to use and look good, but they are smaller than I prefer. Most of the time I'll pick up a Manix 2 over them. I carry them when I'm just going to the office or dinner out.

I have had my eye on the Keizers too. I've never had a flamed titanium handle and I doubt you can buy one at a lower price. I really like the blade shape of the Ki4423, it's 4 inches though, so that might be a good thing or a bad thing for you.
 
5 Ontario Rat 1's, a Leatherman Micra, enough left over for shipping ;)

Sorta kidding, but I really like the Sage 2. Maybe a Native 5 as an alternative.
 
Well, $180 is a tough spot. I have/have had a lot of the knives you are looking at, so tough decision. I love my Brous Bionic, great knife. Also, can't go wrong with the ZT0801. However, I would save up another $30 or so and get a Spyderco PM2 in CTS-204p on the exchange.

What is this "save up" thing you are speaking of?
 
Place your funds in savings and purchase a Sebenza when the time comes. It's worth the wait.

Alternatively, try to score a 940-1 off the exchange for around $200.
 
I bought a couple of composite blade, framelock leek blems, and decided to save the rest of the money lol. One of the leeks is for my dad for his birthday coming up, he carries a $5 hardware store POS folder.
 
Ooh! The Leek! I have three and just bought another one. I have the composite blade, the composite blade blackwash (gorgeous!), the damascus, and now the rainbow one is one the way. Good choice!
 
Yea...when I first saw the title I immediately thought ZT0801 all the way!!!!!
I have been a huge spyderco fan, but this knife rules them all (and I have about 25).
Also like it way better than my 0561. This knife is my favorite mid size (I do love ti) with my techno as my go to small knife.
 
Just received my ZT in the mail from Amazon... 161$... Sweet... One of many quality ZTs I have...
 
I would recommend the domino. Xhp with a flat grind is a slicing machine. The knife is super slick and designed to last. It is not overbuilt just well built.
