Decent EDC for 50$ or less?

I still love my Spyderco Persistence after a year. It's just the right size for me. I'm going to be purchasing a Mini Aegis after all the Holiday presents are bought and given with love. I love the deep carry, and the blade shape. I've included a video of my initial impressions of my persistence. After a year I can say I still really like it. It's in my pocket every day.

Does the Dozier have a pocket clip? I have seen things saying they do, but also that they don't, so I have no clue.

Mine does. I have a black handled, modified drop point mini hunter in AUS8. It's a good knife. Locks up nice. Holds an edge pretty well. I'd have gotten the orange handles, but didn't like the black coated blade.

edit: I'd also suggest a good sak (I prefer alox) or a buck lockback. There are plenty of other good ones out there, but these are ones that I've carried personally. I carried a buck 521 in 440c for about 10 years before I started carrying a more expensive knife (ritter mingrip).

I have also carried a mercator cat k55k that I really like, but it's somehow a bit "scarier" than the others... pointier, I guess.
