Spyderco D'Allara ?

3 Kershaws will fit your bill:

ENER-G II KS1745 Non-AO, Lee Williams design, fast flipper
Storm II KS1475 Ken Onion design AO, metal handle with trac-tec inserts
Speed Bump KS1595 Ken Onion design AO

All in 13C26, and all can be found under $ 60

I'd recommend the Junkyard Dog II ... see my review:

The ENER-G II which SPXTrader recommends is also a good choice.
