My Budget is $60 to $70 Suggest and EDC one condition No Liner Lock

Spyderco Centofante 3

I have had hundreds of knives, yes even a few Delicas, and the Cento 3 might be my favorite. It is just such a great design!:thumbup:
 
How about frame locks? kershaw has the CQC's, the cryo's, the thermite, etc.
Or you could go with something more traditional like a case copperlock or a mini Svord peasant.
 
Spyderco Endura or Delica
Cold Steel Code 4 or Voyager
Buck 110

Have yourself a merry Christmas, good sir.
 
Spyderco Delica or Endura.

Or

Byrd Cara Cara or Meadowlark.

At the top of your budget, a Manix 2 LW is my first choice in a folding knife for all but "combat" use.

Like most have suggested, get a Spyderco Delica in your favorite color. You will not, never, no how, be disappointed.
 
Delica is a good choice but I prefer the extra size of the Endura.

With a little shopping around you can find one within your budget.

Spyderco Delica or a G-10 Byrd Meadowlark and Cara Cara 2 for ~= money.
 
Buck 110 and 301/371 stockman. Hard to beat the combination, and the pair comes in under your budget.
 
I tried a code four in cts-xhp, my first cold steel in years and it is a nice, rugged knife. Endura would be good too. Russ
 
Delica, it's great.

You pull it out of the box, hold it, and bam! you're amazed at that full 4 finger grip. Now I love my mini-grip, but my pinky finger always coming off it was a minor annoyance.

Go ahead and put it in your pocket, notice how it disappears? Wow. Amazing grip, and it disappears? This is incredible. I know, you're thinking "a knife this thin in the pocket is probably pretty weak, I hope it's tough!" Then you notice it. Is that...is that...it is! Nested liners. What? In a knife this inexpensive? Yeah, they're there. This knife is strong, and light, and thin.

Put the knife back in your pocket. We're not done. Feel it stick there in your pocket? Nice and secure. Now pull it out. You can tell it isn't going to shred your pants. See it? Look close. Yeah, the clip rests right over the company logo nice and smooth. That's design with a purpose. It's all over this knife. Keep looking. Notice the lack of a "deep carry" clip? Yeah, that's done on purpose too. It's stronger as far as pressure applied by the clip and leaves a nice bit of handle for you to better grab and use, because this knife is meant to be grabbed and used.

Okay okay, fine, we'll get to the business end. Open it up. Look at the blade. Yeah. You bought a knife to cut right? That's what this knife does. I know, you'll read that some idiot broke the blade, or the tip, or spyderholes are weak. It'll make you sad and want something tougher. Stop. Think this through. You asked for a knife, a knife cuts, and this one does it better than most others. That fine tip? That isn't a liability, that's a feature. The full flat grind? Amazing...if you're trying to cut things. You heard that VG-10 is as good as M390. You're not wrong, but I'll tell you that sharpening VG-10 is easy.

You wanted tactical? Buy it in black, waved. You think tactical is silly? Buy it in blue. Or green. Or orange. Whatever makes you happy.

Okay, gotta run. Hope you're happy with it.
 
The OP wanted a smaller knife, yet I see lots of recommendations for large and/or heavy knives, like Enduras and 110's. Is this a reading comprehension fail, or have we entered bizarro world, where a folder that weighs 8 ounces is "small?"
 
I stick by my Opinel suggestion.

Great steels (both stainless and carbon), and a collar that locks from size 6 and up.
 
For the steel a native is better than the delica or endura but ... It is smaller any are good. If you are patient you can snag a used mini grip @ that price.
