Need reccomendations for a new knife

[chumscrubber]

My old buck fell out of my pocket on a bike ride (i forgot it was there)

so im looking for a new folding knife preferable a tanto, straight edge and under a 100 dollars. (also the ability to move the clip to both sides of the knife would be nice because i am a lefty)

i have been thinking about:
Benchmade 553 griptilian tanto
spyderco adventura

if you have any other reccomendations for any really tough and good cutting knives please post them

how big was your buck folder, what model was it?
Personally, I'm not big into tantos, I have a few, but never take them out. I saw this one in a KNIVES magazine. I thought it looked cool, definitely a conversation piece when brought out, although I don't know what it retails for.

Doug Ritter RSK MK-2. I have the larger RSK MK-1 and the smaller RSK MK-2. I really like these knives and they are a great value for the money. Check them out!

Heck, I love my Kershaw Blur, and now they have 13C26 steel. They are great knives.

No Question the Spyderco Endura or Delicia in VG10 is less than 50 from New Graham.
Tantos suck a good spear point can do everything a tanto can and LOTS it can't.
