I recently came into some cash and I want to get a new blade.
My budget is 190 (I have 215 but gotta consider tax and shipping)
I was looking at the Benchmade mini presidio for a while cause of the look, but now I'm looking at the Mini onslaught too.

I'd love to hear your suggestion, looking for something in the 3-3.5 inch area and weight isnt a worry, just something I can EDC

Thanks :)
 
Spyderco Gayle Bradley, Military, and Nilakka, ZT0801, Lionsteel SR-2A, Hogue EX-0x series. Benchmade adamas.
 
K.O.D. nailed it pretty well. I might add the Spyderco Sage1 or Sage2, the Stretch, the Techno, the Caly3 or 3.5 series of Spyderco. Gosh, am I STILL on Spyderco?
YEP!
 
Some of my favorite go-to carries:

BM Mini-Grip (Ritter or standard)
BM 940 (probably one of the best all around EDC knives for size/weight/durability)
Spyderco Techno (mini beast with great lines)
Ever think of trying a traditional knife? If so, check out the GEC #47 Viper or the #72, #73, #74 series
 
Take a look at the BM Bone Collector's. The handle design is nearly identical to the Presido, large and small. The large has a blade that is 3.4" in length, and I love the G-10 better than the aluminum.

Lot of great choices being mentioned!
 
Spyderco Junior, Yojimbo 2, Paramilitary 2. ZT 550, 560 (used), 770, 350, 200, 700. I prefer to avoid Benchmade knives because of the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning, but a lot of people like them.
 
alot of options with that much leway.

I would get a Domino.
Not a Southard fan.

Even a ZT566 is in play
 
Most definitely a Spyderco Military if you don't own one already.
Other options: Hogue EX-01, Para 2, Benchmade Osborne 940 (the latter is strictly tip-up, which I despise, unfortunately).
