I kinda want to force myself to carry a fixed blade more. I want right around the 100 dollar price range, US made preference, feather lite, good or great sheath.

Izula with custom scales look appealing to me. Any reason not to get one?
 
Love my Izula, can't go wrong with the 2.
Go for it, it's a wonderful little blade.

Last year I bought an old USA Carbon V Recon Tanto that I like a lot. It’s long and slender. Got a helluva deal just a little used on the ‘bay at about $55. Old ones come with a decent leather sheath. I may get a kydex one for it at some point.
 
I know there are mixed opinions on the maker but I really like my DPX HEST. It’s one of my favorite fixed blades.
 
Only if you find something else you like better
The Izula is a nice knife and I have had a couple over the years-multiple carry options.
They re-sell well if you decide it isn't for you
 
It’s a nice knife which was made better by the longer grip for it. I didn’t have one of these. I opted for the BK 14, then sold it to buy a BK 24.
That was my path as well buying the BK-14 first and BK-24 second. Ultimately I preferred the BK-14 for ease of sharpening. That said, I use the White River Backpacker Pro more now since I got it and the little BK's stay at home for the most part.

My biggest criticism of these little blades is that they tend to be a bit thick behind the edge as noted earlier in the thread.

I like it as a small fixed blade for general use rather than food prep. I have a convex edge on mine with the thought of using it for field dressing, but that has not happened yet. I made a set of scales for it.
