Okay. I have a soon to be dragonfly h1. I want to start looking for another spyderco to get in a while. Any ideas? Under 100 bucks.
 
Can't go wrong with a delica/endura. Solid, good steel, and cheap. If you want cheaper then the tenacious. Of course I'm assuming it's for EDC use.
 
You could always take a question like this to the Spyderco subforum, if you want to get feedback from Spydie-lovers only.

How about a Manix 2 XL, or a Sage 1 maybe?
 
What Gassy said. If you got a plain-edged 'Fly, you'll want to step up to a VG-10 to see what a real razor sharp edge is. :)
 
I just found a NIB discontinued Spyderco Stretch, ZDP-189 steel, in baby-blue FRN scales. I grabbed it. You can find the Stretch for about $100 in other scale colors. Highly reco the ZDP-189 steel if you want to see something great.
I've had two Hinderers, and many CRK's and Striders, but this Stretch has made my day. I had one a year ago and was forced to sell it. This one...I'll keep.

Sage 1. I think it pushes your budget though. Still, worth the extra loot for such a great knife.
 
The native is just plastic scales, unlike the Delica and Endura which have skeletonized steel liners inside the plastic leading to a more solid feel.

You can get a Manix 2 for well under $100. If you have an extra $10 you can get a Paramilitary 2 for $110 if you can find it in stock. The Para2 is really as good as people say it is and seems to me to be Spyderco's iconic knife at this point. Do yourself a favor and try one of the US made Spydercos, the material and construction is really a bargain at the prices tha they charge. The pivot bushing system of the Manix 2 and Para 2 allow for an almost zero friction pivot and no perceptible blade play, it's really cool.

Edited to Add:

I really can't recommend, more highly, the Para2. Everything about it - the pivot bushing system, compression lock (as simple as a liner lock but much stronger), big screw pillar construction, flow through design, and Golden, CO made awesomeness combine to make it the best deal out there:

I did a bit of research and ill probably eventually get the all black tenacious or blue g10 persistence. If you could choose, which one?
