Best EDC for $150 or under

Sage 1, Para 2, BM 940 (s30v), and emerson commander are my all time favorite edc folders.

Also check out the Makers sales adds you can get a pretty sweet custom for under $150. Fix blade of course.
 
I had the same dilemma and opted for the Sage 2. I am not disappointed, but if I were to do it again I'd probably get two: Sage 1 and a Dragonfly or Tenacious.
 
I have the sage 2 and a Dominio, I prefer Dominio much more...
If you can get a used dominio for $150 that would be a great EDC..
 
Depends on your use requirements...

I'd say for harder use, probably the Paramilitary 2, SuperLeaf, or the like would be ideal for your use. The Manix 2 variations might work too, though the blade-to-handle ratio of all of these are not that great. In this category for work use, try the Gayle Bradley.

For EDC, I'd mostly consider either the Delica/Endura series and save a lot of cash, or go with the Caly 3.5 or Stretch. The Caly 3.5 packs a lot of blade in a handle only a little larger than the Caly 3. VG-10 is a near ideal EDC steel, easy to sharpen, takes a fine polished edge if you like, and is quite stainless. S30V or S35V work well too. I prefer ZDP-189, M4, S90V or M390 but that's mostly for bragging rights ;).
 
Delica 4
Endura 4
Dragonfly 2
Manix 2
Ladybug 3
Cricket

For $150 you should easily get two of these.
