I currently have a CRKT Summa that is a flipper opening knife and love it. I would like to get more flipper opening knives but don't know what to get. I would want a 3.75" to 4" blade, not assisted or with the automatic Laws lock CRKT uses on many models. Also less than $100. Blade steel does not matter as long as its decent. Any out there?
 
Look up the kershaw ener g II. it has a 3.5 inch blade and opens faster than most assisted knives i have. the steel is one of my favorites becuase it takes a razor edge and holds it, as well as being easy to sharpen. note: these are discontinued, and so you might want to go fast.
 
Kershaw offers a couple non assisted flippers such as the skyline. jyd 2. chill.storm and a bunch others

wal mart also sells the crkt ripple(CHEAPER VERSION) i have handled it and it is very nice, i plan on picking one up when i get home.

enlan el01 is an excellent heavy duty large bladed flipper, about 15$ shipped and worth many times that.

If you didn't mind a bit shorter blade the Kershaw RAM is a pretty awesome knife. Kershaw is probably the company to browse if looking for quality flippers on a budget.
 
If you can live with 3.25", the Buck Vantage Series is excellent. Can get Buck's great 420HC, 13C26 Sandvik, or S30V steel; FRN, Paperstone, Dymondwood, G-10, or aluminum grips. Great clip too, leaves nothing above edge of pocket but the clip itself.

Third time tonight I have suggested the ZT0200, but it fits your requirements, except in the cost department. But check with kershawguy here on the forums and you can maybe get a blem at less cost and a lot of times folks claim they cannot even find what the blem is.

Glockmans reccomendation of the JYD is excellent. You can even get the composite bladed edition for under $100.
 
ZT 0350 or ZT 0200. Both can be had for under 100 if you stick around the exchange forums long enough.
 
The ZT 0200 was just a hair over $100 from GP Knives last I checked. Very durable, great steel, and the best ergos I've ever felt.
