I like that Junkyard dog. What is the steel comparable to?

My favorite knife in this price range is the Endura 4 Wave. Others worth mentioning:

Spyderco:
Delica/ D wave
Salt Series
Native
Centofante series
D'allara

Benchmade:
Griptilian series
Monochrome

Kershaw:
Leek
Speed Bump
Cyclone
Blur

There are some excellent suggestions here!! I personally lean towards Spyderco myself!!

The Buck Strider SBMF Military folder. Try it and you will never look back.

Benchmade Minigrip. Comfortable plastic handle, smooth Axis lock, in two blade styles and a buncha colors. One of my favorites, my wife's EDC (in purple). Used would be a bit cheaper...
