Hey everyone, I'm currently looking around for a new blade. At the moment, I own:
-Spyderco Resilience for food prep
-Ontario Rat 1 for edc And probably my most carried
-Kershaw Blur edc for heavier applications
-Kershaw Cryo as a secondary knife that I use in public to avoid scaring people.

I'm very open to suggestions, as long as they meet my requirements:
-about 3 inches give or take
- s30v, 154 cm, ats 34, or the like. (No aus 8, 8cr13mov)
-good ergos (finger choil, thumb ramp, quality handle material like g10 or micarta) not all necessary, but one or two of these options would be appreciated.
-pretty open to blade shape, although no wharncliffe, or chef style blades (like my spyderco resilience)
-locking mechanism isn't important, as long as you think it works well.

My budget is around $100. But if you find the perfect knife for me that pushes $200, I guess I can save for It.

Thanks
 
You just basically described the G10 Caly 3. They're discontinued but can be found for around $100.

I also really like the FRN Native 5. You could find one in G10. But I think the FRN is fine.
 
Upper end of your $100 price range, Paramilitary 2.

Lower end, Native 5 Lightweight.

I own both and like them a lot.
 
Check out the Kizer 3404A3. Personally, I'm not huge on metal handles, but a lot of folks really dig titanium, and it seems hard to beat for around $115.
 
I know of someone selling a manix 2 g10 body with the s110v blade put into it, if your interested.
PM me or check my sig.
