Looking for a knife that has a 154 cm blade about 3.5 inches long. and no plastic handles. My budget is $200, any ideas?

Do yourself one better, get a Zero Tolerance 0550 with a 3.5" CPM S35VN blade, a titanium framelock, and a G-10 scale on the other side. It's a heck of a lot of knife for $200. Lifetime Warranty, designed by Rick Hinderer.

Spyderco Para2 with any of MANY blade-steels up to and including the super-steels. Many of these steels are NOT sold by Spyderco, but rather limited runs by Spyderco Exclusive Dealers. The S30V blade will probably be the cheapest, not much over $100, and it's still a good knife.

The ZT200 is pretty close to your specs but I'm not sure how you feel about recurve blades.

Emerson Mini CQC-15, Benchmade Presidio 520, to add a couple more.

Hogue EX-01 3.5" blade size would be a nice choice, they have had unanimously good feedback. Can get green or black handle in either G-mascus G-10 or Aluminum. Handled a couple but not owned one personally, think it's a great design though.

Here is Moosez45's nice review thread on a 4" blade from a couple weeks ago http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/937276-Hogue-EX01-4-quot
