Need Help Finding This

I am looking for a new slip joint. Lately I have been very fond of Lanny's Clips after seeing this one here. I am also liking the Back Pocket pattern knives. Tony Bose can be blamed for my infatuation with these.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford a custom slipjoint at this time (I hope to get one in the near future). What I need help with are recommendations for an affordable slipjoint with the following properties:

No lock, of course
Blade steel: Preferably Carbon Steel, but Stainless is okay too
Blade shape: Clip point, swedges are cool too
Size: Big or small, it doesn't really matter to me, but keep in mind that this will be carried in addition to a Spyderco Military
Handle material: I am open to most handle materials, but Stag is my favorite
Others: Long pulls are a huge plus, as well as a lanyard hole
Budget: I am looking to spend $100, but can go a little bit over if it is something spectacular

Thanks a lot for your help! Everything is appreciated.
 
Look into GEC's 73 and the bigger 23 model. Massive choice of handle materials, check their website with the links to distributors for comprehensive photo galleries.

+1 on that. GEC was the first brand that came to mind when I read the original post.

Case Back Pocket runs around $70, available at many dealers
 
I was looking at a Case Backpocket in Ebony wood, but have recently been seeing a few threads about Case having some problems out of the box. Right now I am seriously considering this knife, as well as a Scagel Bearhead Jack. Question is, is the Scagel worth twice as much as the Case?
