If you had $100, what would you buy?

For $100 brand new not off secondary, I think the best you can find is the higher end Twosuns when they go for lower prices at auction. I got these two for under $100 shipped each (had to lose a few auctions before the stars aligned, though). One has titanium handles with carbon fiber inserts and M390, the other has crystallized titanium handles with a similar proprietary steel.

ANV P100 in Sleipner will be <$100


🇺🇸 OR build 1/2 of an ASK American Service Knife

Good luck! :p

I'd probably go with a Case 75 pattern Stockman in carbon. Be a good match to my 75 in stainless.

Otherwise... a nice used Buck 119 and an Alox Pioneer. I've owned a 119 and regret selling it. Never had a Pioneer.
 
Fixed:
any Terava. The 110 is just a great, useful knife, the 140 is a great size. The 240 is one of my favorites and the 200 has a strong following.

Cold Steel SRK or Master Hunter in 3v can be found for that price and are excellent knives with very good designs.

Folder: Delica or Endura. Great knives.
4MaxScout for about $50 and built like a tank.
Exactly all of this.

Except I’d substitute an AD10 for the 4Max recommendation. But I have or have had every knife mentioned in this post and all are/were excellent.
 
Kubey Tityus in 14C28N and Purple Titanium, or Civivi Vision FG.

EDIT - I have 2 Kubey in purple and blue, and 4 variations of the FG (not counting my WE version in 20CV). In one of the 10 pics, if you scroll right, you'll see the Kubey has a similar look to the Koenig Arius.

A LT Wright Patriot can come in under $100, I paid $85 a while back. Outpunches its small size.
 
Much fun and much utility can be found within the Victorinox brand for a humble yard stick. Research which SAK(s) have the tools that best fit your needs, and you can probably get more than one or have some change left for a beverage (and a tool to open it with ;)). I suggest you stretch the process out, take your time with the research, and enjoy the ride. There is a great deal of fulfillment to be found within this hobby beyond simply purchasing things.
