Recommendation? Folding EDC 100-200$?

What’s an “every day” for you?

We need some use case scenarios to make good suggestions.
 
Spyderco Gayle Bradley has been my edc for at least 10 years and I really like it for what I do in the shop, yard, and house.


 
More info would help. Big hand? Small hand? 3" blade? 4" blade?

Tons of choices.

Cold Steel Recon 1 or Ultimate Hunter. Solid lock, good materials for the price. Bonus - Cheesy marketing!
Spyderco Manix 2 or XL, Paramilitary 2 or 3. Many to choose from. Great Company.
+1 for Biginboca recommendation of a ZT 562. I love my ZT 350. Another good company that makes a great knife. Other choices as well.

Hogue. I've been looking at the EX02 spear point myself lately.
 
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 - If your local laws allow that blade length
Spyderco Chaparral - If your local laws require a sub 3-inch blade

But in that price range, there are tons of awesome choices

Spyderco PM2, Benchmade Bugout, massdrop Ferron forge gent, ZT0450 only to give a few but in this price range you can find a lot of options

Maybe you can be more specific on the size and use of the knife ?

For your uses, you would want a capable slicer - something with a blade that not is not too thick and is ground for slicing. So a full flat ground blade would be good. And based on the blade length you mentioned, I think the aforementioned PM2 or Chaparral would be great choices. The PM2 blade is right around 3.4 inches, and the Chaparral is around 2.8-2.9. And both are full flat ground.
