Not sure what to buy next. :|

90% of my time in the field and about 50% of that time in the woods. fruit for snack. some food prep. yard work. I mostly wear jeans or cargo pants to work so it will spend its days clipped there. My current knives are: Spyderco Sage 1, Spyderco Native FRN, Spyderco Ladybug, Benchmade Mini-Grip , two Buck Vantages ( 1 pro and 1 avid), Victorinox Huntsman, and a Spyderco Manix 2 (that I will sell to my coworker because I don’t care for the weight of it).

Knives on my radar are: Spyderco Para-Military 2 (worried about the length but love that it weighs only 3.9 oz), Spyderco Sage 2 (Like to Ti handles), Benchmade 940 (I love the 940-1 but can’t afford it), Spyderco Domino (Blue G-10 one from Bento Box Shop. Kinda don’t want to spend THAT much), Zero Tolerance 0566BW (not to fond of the weight but like the blackwash), and a Spyderco Southard ( regular brown one). Size? Anything from the size of my mini grip (2.89” in think) which has been used the most lately to maybe the size of a PM2 (3.5” I think?). Price? I have a soft cap at $200.

I think you have it nailed down pretty well. I love the PM2, the Sage 2 and the Southard. Note that the Sage 2 is only 3" blade, while the other two models have longer blades (and more capable for some tasks). I've had multiples of each of these three, and love 'em.
The Southard is 4.1 ounces and quite a bit lighter than your Manix 2...
I have a personal limit of five ounces, which is attained also by a large Sebenza or Umnumzaan. These are more money, however.

Thanks. Since a lot of people have mentioned the PM2 as a knife they like I think I will buy it. I did a lot of research and most people love this knife. I know that because most people like it is not a good reason to get it. But if that many people like it and recommend it then it must be something I should at least have one of in my collection. I emailed a guy in the exchange and agreed to buy his PM2 (Earth Brown S35v). I will definitely post pictures when I get it in the mail.

Great choice. The PM2 S35VN Sprint Run is nice. I edc'ed it for the longest time until it was stolen, along with a BM 710 and my car :(
 
PM2 is an excellent choice, I got the exact same model here off the exchange. If you decide to get another knife this year, take a look at the Kershaw Knockout.
