Need Some Purchase Advice for an EDC that WoWs

Depends on who you are trying to wow...

My lady is pretty good at naming the "wow" knives that I own. She has only said "I want one" to two of my knives: The Benchmade 943 and the 940-1. She claimed the 943 as "hers" by accidentally slicing her thumb open with it during use, but not-so-secretly lusts after my 940-1. Another friend of mine (female clothing model) prefers the 943 as well, so if you want to impress attractive females, the 943 is your best bet. The only non-94x knife they even glanced at was my PM2 because it "has a cute bug on it!"

Both women were less-than impressed with any of the other folders, fixed blades, autos, OTF's, etc that I have. In fact, the autos and OTF's were "scary" and they didn't even want to hold them.
 
A little over your stated budget, but this thing turns heads (LionSteel TiSpine Lizard Damascus):

Even the less expensive William Henrys ooze style and class, IMO:
