Oops, I'll try again - dam forum keeps double tapping me!

Manix 2 Lightweight: CTS-BD1 steel, only 3.0 ounces, and made in the USA! ($72 at KnifeWorks):





Absolutely worth a look!

Nice list. Maybe the Victorinox Farmer, Pioneer or one of the big bruisers like the Soldier. Nice jack of all trades these guys.

Spyderco Dragonfly, Delica or Endura depending on your size preference

I'd include the Stretch as well in that Spydie mix. The handle fits medium size hands the best, and the blade shape is the result of years of Spyderco evolution. Of the dozens of knives I own, I grab a Stretch 90% of the time when I head out the door.

Such an impossible question to answer. Over the years of owning dozens of cheap and one or two halfway decent blades, the Benchmade Mini-Griptilian started it all for me. It's the perfect EDC knife for normal duties that I encounter (your EDC needs might be different). Small enough, big enough, light enough, and great quality. It's a few dollars more than you're looking to spend, but it's worth every penny.

I can also tell you that owning something $75+ is only going to whet your appetite for more and more. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!! I will most likely buy Spyderco delica, as it has VG10 steel (which i have great experience with), its pretty lightweight, and its a decent size. And my next EDC to try out will probably be the benchmade mini grip!

I thought I found the last knife I would ever need.....several times

Me too. I think that I have finally given up on that concept (for me, at least)...

Spyderco Dragonfly, Delica or Endura depending on your size preference

That would be my suggestion as well depending on what size of knife you are looking for. The Delica is one of my favorites. Really like the Native also, but it exceeds your budget I believe, or at least the ones with higher grade steel do.
