Looking for a certain Assisted Open knife with the following.

Im pretty new on here, but a long time lurker. I would have to say go with the Kershaw Cyclone or Mini-Cyclone or the Speed Bump.
 
I'll put in another vote for a Leek. Very nice knife, good fit and finish, works great, and looks good to boot. Don't carry mine a whole lot, but if I had more pockets, I would. ;) SOG makes some nice knives as well. Don't own any myself, but have handled several. I wasn't tremendously impressed with the handles on them, but they work.
 
The Leek would be a good choice, but there are two that I think you should also look at
-Kershaw Lahar- VG-10 blade, stupid easy to sharpen, flipper for assisted opening, and the size is almost dead on what you were asking for: Blade Length: 3 1/2 in. Closed Length: 4 7/8 in. price $62.50

-Kershaw Blur in SG2- A little out of your price range (NGK has it at $87.50), but SpeedSafe opening, SG2 steel, again very easy to sharpen, a little smaller profile than the Lahar, blade length 3 3/8 in., closed length 4 1/2 in.

I own and use both, they are easy to EDC, easy to make very sharp with a Sharpmaker (even sharper now that I have a strop), one is well within your budget, one is very close. I suggest you try and handle all knives suggested in person before you make a choice seeing as you are looking for only one more knife. Be forewarned: 10 months ago I was looking for just one more knife. That was 30 knives ago. Oops :eek:

Hope this helps

Another vote for the Kershaw line...
impossible you shouldn't find the size and fit you like there,
and have one of the best designs and makes around.
