Please suggest a knife - classy pocket folder with modern features

Partial to this little guy:

CF and Coco bolo, S30V, Nak-Lok (button actuated compression lock essentially), etc. Just an elegant little folder. Even has cocobolo inlay in the thumb stud!
 
A.G. Russell has several one-hand opening folders with thumbstuds, wood handle options, and blades that are 3" or less. I saw six of them on his website, the most expensive one was $109.95.

And those six knives are-

A.G. Russell K12 (with pocket clip)

Small Dozier Trapper (with pocket clip)

Maserin Onefold (with pocket clip)

Maserin Atti

Maserin ARNO

Maserin Premium Folder. (with pocket clip)

He also has a few with opening holes.

I'd drop another 100 and get a Mandni or Sebenza. Both are great options but the Mnandi is the most classy knife Ive carried. Has numerous of wood inlays to pick from. I know you said no nail nicks, but something about the slow and careful deployment really makes it classy. Sorry that I dont have any personal recommendations that fits your critera.

Good to know, I thought something looked fishy.

Considering it's only in the $60-70 range, I'll probably pick up an Exskelibur I in Cocobolo just to have as a backup. :)

Again, be aware that the Boker manufacturing is not as good as Spyderco and other big makers.
I purchased two Exskelibur I Ti framelock, one of which had a perfect blade with stiff lock, and the other had a unevenly ground blade (just a little bit) with a perfect handle.
I swapped the blades and got a perfect folder:)


Miso
 
Also Enzo (a Finnish company) makes very good folders that fit your criteria. I have the Enzo Birk 75 with curly birch scales. They are available with either scandi grind of full flat grind.

Also you could take a look at Fox/Wilson combat collaboration knife, it has cocobolo handles.

Al Mar Falcom - for sure! and if you go up a notch with funding go for the Chris Reeves.
I love wood scales on modern knives and my favorite is ironwood, but most of them are out of the price range. Unless you would consider a friction folder - it opens with one hand.
