Ok, so i'm looking to buy a new folding knife for under $250ish. I already have a PM2, leek, blur, SAK (2), cs recon 1 mini, and my custom bm griptilian is oiw. Any suggestions for my new toy? :D I'd prefer something with high quality steel, looks sleek (is easy to conceal and use for edc rotations), and while spiderco is an option, i wanna try something new. Thanks guys! (oh and if pics are possible, i'd love 'em!)

EDIT: I'd also like for it to not be a slip joint, but one with a solid lockup that can easily withstand constant every day usage.
 
ZT 801? Fantastic flipper that isn't overly large. It is a bit on the heavy side though. I would also recommend a ZT 0560 or 0561 if you're OK with a really big knife.

Something sleek around $250, maybe a Protech TR-3, those look sweet but I've never handled one or anything. Zero Tolerance is also a great brand.
 
Hunt down a Nishijin Spyderco Dragonfly in ZDP-189. It's definitely not unfriendly, and is definitely a high value folder. If you can find one you should be able to pick it up for less than $200.

I personally would go with a dragonfly 2 h1 because it's cheaper, rust proof and 200$ is a lot of money for a dragonfly IMO

+1 I have a DF salt in PE and it is an amazing knife. Easily concealed and it acts like a much bigger knife...both in feel and performance.

Spyderco Sage 1 or 2.

Or the Chapperall CF.

The sage series is great and the chaparral is a fantastic knife! Definatly Recommend it!
 
Consider some options from Al Mar. A Benchmade 707 or 710 might also fit the bill.
 
Somebody probably already mentioned these but for $200 you can't beat a Microtech ultratech or a Spyderco domino. Those are my favorites anyway
 
Below $250?

Hold out for the upcoming ZT0562CF. Hinderer design (closest thing to an XM-18 yet), ball bearing flipper, carbon fiber showside scale, Ti Framelock, M390 steel blade w/ 2-tone finish (satin grind with stonewashed flats)... All for $240!
