EDC Upgrade

[Brocket21]

Guys,

I have recently returned to my old knife collecting ways and have purchased a Kershaw Zing and Skyline in the last few months. Love them both and am also thinking about throwing a FFG Delica in the mix. Although the Delica is a bit higher end than the 'Shaws, I was thinking that I wouldn't mind really upping the ante and getting a knife in the $100-$150 price range as an upgrade instead. Is there anything that is similar in thin spine profile and cutting performance that you would recommend over the Delica that maybe has some better handle materials and has a liner/axis/other type of lock vs the lockback of the Delica? I am not brand focused but I don't want a heavy duty folder and want to keep the blade to around 3".

Or should I just be done with it and get the Delica? I really love the looks and I know the steel will be a great performer.

Spyderco Sage with the textsured CF handles, S30V blade steel, liner lock.
Best knife I've ever owned.
The CF looks beautiful as does the leaf shaped blade.
Ergos are perfect for my hands.
Smooth action, perfect lock up.
It can do double duty as gentleman's knife and workhorse EDC.

I'd say spyderco para 1 or 2, a sprint manix 2, sage 2 or 3.

I also just bought a pair of Zings, one black & one orange.
Nice knife for the money.
It's about the same size as my Fallkniven P in 3G
The P 3G is a lovely gentleman's folder.

Mcusta knives are very nice and most of them are under $150
