Threadjack, but I've read this in other posts.
My assisted blades open almost faster than you can see, with just a flick of the finger.

How can opneing a non-assisted blade be faster (even with a blade adjusted loose enough to open with a wrist flick)?

The Rat 2 has a strong detent. As you apply force on the thumb stud you build tension until you overcome the detent and the blade flies out. It opens just as fast as any speedsafe knife I've owned.

I think I know what you mean.
Any chance of a vid?
 
IMHO Kershaw Sandvik is the way to go in that price range. The Skyline kills boxes and food prep and you can basically hone the edge on your belt. Not FFG, but hollow ground is underrated. Lots of options best of luck.
 
Do like my Cryo G-10, carry it every day. meets all your criteria, but is hollow ground! Love my Rat 2, very fast flat grind, but not consistently assisted fast!

I would like it to either have a flipper or be assisted cuz i am used to and like those and no hollow grinds would prefer full flat or regular flat i know this a repeated question but ive been sesrching for days and it takes forever

Kershaw is your answer.
 
Kershaw has lots to offer within your limitations, one that is pretty nice too is the Skylines while there are some a bit pricer than others, different flavours of the same design, the basic works well.

Here's a couple shots of mine, although I did do a bit of a regrind on the spine, making it pointier, but the standard blade would work just fine, I just can't leave stuff alone ;)

Edited to say sorry didn't notice the must be flat ground blade...but still for a 3" blade not sure that you'd see much of a benefit by that
