Best EDC Knife for under $200?

I've seen a few lightly used Grayman Duas go for just under $200 - best bang for the buck IMO.
 
I'm considering the Bradley Alias II for around $180-$209. I am still looking if there is something better to get instead.

I understand spyderco's taiwan facility has great quality standards, just wish these knives were made in the USA. Not a fan of outsourced jobs, just saying.
 
To me, it doesn't matter where a knife is made if the quality is there.
I don't feel like a knife being made in Taiwan is really screwing the Americans out of any jobs honestly(not to start a political debate).
Anyways, I don't have my Techno yet, but I would recommend that. Great steel, Ti Frame Lock, Awesome Spyderhole, Great Design, Low Ride Clip, Etc.
The Bradley Alias 2 is a great choice as well, but if given the option, I'd go Spyderco.

You could also take a look at the Spyderco Gayle Bradley Air - M4 steel, slicer, small and light, Milled Titanium Liners, awesome little knife. You can't beat this one for the price in my opinion.
 
So I decided that I'm going with the Small Sebenza. I figured that if I don't get it now, I will just keep getting other knives and than eventually the Sebenza. Those other knives would quickly add up to the Sebenza. So I will probably end up saving a little money in the long run. lol. I intend on using the Sebenza.

That's a good plan, and a great choice. Unfortunately, you will probably keep buying more knives no matter what you buy now...as I look at my Sebenzas, Hinderers, etc. while waiting for two of the new BM flippers to be delivered today :eek: ;)

Very true. Well said. And mature. We've all been there. And it's funny how a lot will argue that we are sheep or idiots for buying a CRK. Or spending $350-400 on a knife. I can guarantee those people usually have 3-10 knives that add up to same, by money spent.
 
Good choice. I was about to suggest a Bradley Alias or a Buck Mayo TNT but I had more than the price of a small sebenza in mine, and sold 'em when I finally got the Sebenza I wanted all along. It's an old story you're doing well to avoid.
 
Yea I'd go with the Alias 2 or the Techno. Had the Alias 1, but gave it to my brother. Got a chance recently to hold a Techno and was seriously impressed. Going to pick one up for a new years present :p
 
Im loving my 940 right now, also the izula with carry clip fits great IWB and conceals very well.
