Need help on my next purchase

What are you thinking of using it for, and how large do you want? There are a lot of good folder out there for around $50. Cold Steel American Lawman or Voyager, the Spyderco Tenacious family, Kershaw has the Skyline, A.G. Russell Feathlite one hand knives or even a Delica or Mini Grip just above that if you look hard enough.
 
Any size is fine I already have both of those Cold Steel knives and a Benmade 530 just looking for a new edc knife
 
I'd go for the Skyline seeing as you already own a couple of cold steels it's an incredible bargain for the money.
 
I just picked up a Boker Exskelimoor II and have been very impressed with it. I use mine quite a bit because its much less threatening than the other knives I have, and in an office and school environment that is for sure a good thing.

Even though the blade is a bit more upscale looking, I think the build quality is just great. I would never call it a hard use folder, but it will stand up great to normal EDC use.

While its not quite what you've been looking at, you might be interested with the Exskelibur (has G10 scales instead of oak), and both of the sizes are in your price range.

I just thought I would throw it out there, as I've been really pleased with mine, and quite surprised as well.
 
Mini-Grips are great outside of spyderco.
Spyderco's... Delica, Dragonfly(don't let the small size fool you), if you have a bit more grab a Stretch full serrated version.. great knife.
 
I second a mini grip as mine tanto version is a stellar knife. The grind is all sorts of wrong but I cannot help but love it. Such a smooth, high quality folder.

I also second a spyderco dragonfly2 which is a superb edc, and with its nice thin ffg and a good edge it will embarrass a lot of other folders when it comes to pure slicing ability for the money. Also, its a great size. It was difficult to let them go, but I gave away two brand new ones for Christmas. In fact, I have never fallen for a "cheap" folder so fast. Such a good knife. Almost perfect.
 
Spyderco Delica 4... :thumbup:

If you already know you want a Spyderco, then you should get one. There are several models at or around that price point. You may as well spend the money on one now rather than settling for something else (maybe for less money) then turning around and buying the Spyderco later after all.

My wife and kids got me this native for Christmas and they spent right around $50 on it. It's made in the USA and is now my favorite folder...
