Nicer version of this?

I recently picked up this small and simple lockback folder at a mall-ninja store where I usually just look & laugh, sometimes picking up something cheap. This one was $5, and I'm actually pretty satisfied with it.
The other knives in my collection are mid- high range CRKTs mainly, because I can buy knives like the My Tighe for $35 or so sometimes. My edc used to be a my tighe, with some wenge wood scales that I made for it.
This little guy fits a lot better with pants, whereas that one was good with cargo shorts & the like.
I'm hoping someone can point me towards a higher quality version of this style of knife, something significantly smaller than a buck 110. Budget should be <$60, I'm not looking for some high-end custom, just a nice well made similarly styled production knife.

Well, if you're looking for a SS handled lock-back, I'd suggest you check out Spyderco. They make several all SS lock-backs.

I currently EDC a Spyderco Navigator II as a money clip. It works for me.
 
I have looked at spyderco, but I'm looking for something a little less tactical looking & simpler here.
pocket clips are not necessary, neither is one hand opening. Just want a sharp little classy knife to carry in pocket when the others aren't warranted or appropriate.
 
Look at the buck nobeman, it is a framelock, and their gent knives. All are around or under $20
 
Thanks fudo, I didn't realize they had smaller versions of the 110.
the 112 and 55 both look quite nice, I just wish they had custom shop versions of them available, I'm not a big fan of the brass.
 
The Gentleman comes very sharp, but the lock was quite stiff, and had high effort opening. Locked up solid, though. I didn't care for the plain SS b/c it shows fingerprints readily, but that's not a problem for you. I'd still recommend it- just lube it up and it should be great.
