I'm bored and feel like picking up a new folder for myself.

I'm more and more into fixed blades lately so most of my folders have been sold. What currently resides in my EDC selection is as follows:
ZT 0200
ZT 0300 (favorite)
Benchmade Ruckus
Benchmade LFK

I've owned a strider and I wasn't all that impressed with it and my friend also lent me a sebenza and I didn't care for it for the price tag. With the new knife i'd like to stay under 100 dollars if possible as it's Christmas time and i've been spending a fortune on gifts.

I want -

One hand opening

3 1/2 inch blade or above

Rugged

I admittedly kind of abuse knives, which is why I switched to Busse for fixed blades, but I can't carry one at work so this will be mainly a work knife.

Lets hear it.
 
Hmmmmm...maybe you need a 0350 ZT? It's alittle smaller than your 0330, and quite carriable! prices are more in the 100 range, but a great buy.
 
The Benchmade 950 rift is pretty nice but the blade does get thinner down towards the edge. It is not a 'sharpened prybar.' The Benchmade 14205 is pretty nice too and the blade is a little thicker and one of the thickest blades Benchmade puts in a folder.
 
I just got a second hand Spyderco Chinook from a fellow forumite, and it's awesome. Built like a tank, certainly feels as sturdy and dependable as my ZT 0300, looks great, very useful blade shape.
Why not check out one of those?
Or, if you're not a fan of the upswept blade, get your hands on an old Manix (the ones with a mid-lock and S30V blade, not the newer one with the ball lock and 154CM...).
Either of those is sure to please.

Edit: if you really want to sell yourself on one, look at some online/video reviews...
