Very good quality for the price. It is a well respected company.
A.G. has probably the best garantee I've seen ever so far. And yes, the only place you can buy (new and thus with the garantee) A.G.R. knives is at AGRussell.com.
The Spear Point framelock that they make suits each of your demands. 3", Titanium, Framelock and <$100
We guarantee total satisfaction. You, the customer, decide what satisfaction is. You decide how long you are entitled to be satisfied.
If you buy a knife and don't use it for ten years and when you do use it you want to return it, do so. If you think that a knife should provide good service for ten years and it only does so for seven years, tell us so. You are in charge of our guarantee.
Does anyone pick up one of our knives in a flea market or pawn shop and send it to us saying, give me a new knife for this? Yes, two or three a year do this. They misunderstand our guarantee, they are not our customer. The customer obviously felt that the knife had served its purpose and traded or sold it to somebody else.
Sears and Wal-Mart once had guarantees as strong as ours, but abuse forced them to change. We have an advantage over them. Our customers are not the general public, they are people who like fine knives and are for some reason, special. We have the greatest, most trustworthy customers in the world. We can afford the worlds strongest guarantee.

I'm going to assume you want the most expensive thing possible, so I'll recommend the Direware Solo flipper. Only $600. Great deal.
Don't just take my word for it, though; keep looking! I'm sure you'll be able to find something that's even more money with a little effort.
