So as some of you guys might remember a while ago you helped me find a knife for around 50$. Well now im going to look for something new. I dont want to spend any more then 100$. I want it to be a little bigger for a summer time utility folding knife. Maybe like 3.5-4 inch blade. Whats the best thing under 100 bucks?
 
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 can be had for a little over $100 if you can find anyone that has one in stock. If you are ok with a 3" blade the Native 5 is a great knife for around $100. These are both a little over $100 but I feel like they are worth it.

The benchmade griptilian can be found for around $100. I never really cared for them, the handles felt really cheap to me, but a lot of people swear by them.

i dont really like that plastic kind of stuff.. same kind of handles as my kershaw blackout.
 
If its possible for you to increase your budget by about 10 or 15 bucks I would start looking for a spyderco paramilitary 2, or if not i would get a spyderco manix 2 (cheaper, easier to find, same materials). I carry both of them and they will both be great for edc needs.

every place i can think of doesnt have a paramilitary 2 for sale. I been trying to find somewhere that has had them for like 2 weeks. Thats why im asking for other suggestions no where has them.
 
ZT 0350 can be found for $100 or a little over. The blade is a little under 3.5" but is very functional in most situations. In fact, I consider it a best buy for what you're getting at that price pint. It is a very solid knife!
 
For summer utility, get something light. Like a Large Higonokami?
 
How hard of use do you need it to be? If you are going to be using it outside and sweating, check out the Spyderco Pacific Salt, it won't rust on you and is far south of $100. If you want something similar with a liner, check out the Endura.
Para 2 is a great EDC (check the Exchange on here).
Griptillian is great EDC, little bulky
Recon1 is a low cost beast.
Damn.. lots to choose from in that price range. Think about weight, actual uses, pocket space and give us a little more to go on.
 
100 bucks? I love to spend other people's money :)

Benchmade Bone Collector 15020 all the way. It's 110 bucks though, worth 10 dollars over your limit. If you just can't do that, try a Buck Vantage Pro. Spyderco Manix 2 or 2XL are awesome.
 
These sometimes show up on the secondary market for under $100, or you can pick up blems for under that:
Carbon Fiber Blur - 3.5" CPM-154 blade, aluminum handles w/ carbon fiber inserts, handles and cuts well, carries pretty well for a knife its size
ZT 0350 - 3.25" S30V blade (huge belly and recurve probably give you well over 3.5" of linear cutting edge though), G10 handles, flipper or thumb stud opening, built like a tank

You mentioned not wanting FRN handles, but these are still worth considering:
Large Griptilian
Endura in ZDP-189
Stretch
 
Kershawguy (a dealer on here) has ZT Blem 0350's (in several different variants) for under $100 shipped to your door...
 
You can order a custom made Buck 110 for less than your limit with an S30V blade, nickel silver bolsters, choice of scales, whether you want rivets, type of sheath, and even have it engraved from Buck Knives' 'Custom Shop'.
