Looking for a high quality EDC with good pocket clip

I would imagine that after 5 years of tip down carry, that might also be a consideration.

Not your preferred country of origin (Japan), but a Spyderco Endura or Stretch would be similar (weight and blade length) to what your used to, but with a step up in build quality, materials, and blade steel.
 
Benchmade 707 Sequel. About $140 most places.

Kershaw Skyline. About $46-$50 most places.

Spyderco Native 5. About $85 most places.

All great knives and all made in the USA. I own or have owned all 3 and loved them.
 
Get a Manix 2 FFG or better yet, a Manix 2 XL, assuming your ok with the wider profile, and I think you will be after using it for a while and seeing how robust a Manix is.

If you can go up to around $150 then a 950 Rift is a great folder.

Benchmade

Free clips for life, cheap replacement blades, overall great warranty

Look no further than the first reply to this thread. Other than the delica the cold steel code 4 is a great knife that I highly recommend

Kershaw Camber may be a good option. S30V, deep carry clip, and American made for less than $70.
 
I recently became a big fan of the Benchmade HK Axis folders. Made in the USA, under $100 for either size, g10 scales, and a D2 drop-point blade at 60-62 HRC. Benchmade really does a great job with their D2, and at this hardness level it outperforms just about any other blade steel in it's price range and many higher-priced knives as well. I have both sizes and like them both a LOT better than the Griptilian (not to mention the Griptilian uses a softer blade steel).

I really do think the current pricing is just to help introduce the new product line, and I would not be surprised to seem them selling closer to $160 in a year or so. I'm glad I snagged mine when I did.
