Pocket Knife for ~75

[Cotherion]

I think the kershaw Lahar is also well worth considering.

Good knife with VG-10. The belly's nice and the flipping is addictive. It's G10 handles are grippy and the size is 'fulfilling' to one's hands.

Only qualms with it is the liner lock is bit thin and my (not generally) dang blade arrived off centre... Peed me off but it helped me in in a way since I used it well due to it being 'imperfect' and unfit for my safe...

While I'll agree Spyderco's are good knives, they only work for some people. I have touble, and I'm sure others do too, opening the Spyderco (well, actually a Byrd), one handed and quickly.
Benchmade, Kershaw, Buck, Cold Steel, Columbia River all make good knives in this price range.

I've found Spydercos to be very comfortable to open and have had trouble opening some of the models that CS has one handed, like the Ti-Lite.

I agree, my cara cara spydie is a delight to open and close. He must've got a lemon.

I have the (whatchamacallit? yeah, my english suck ) hardened-skin-due-to-heavy-abrasion-over-time from using my CS voyagers one handed (thumb stylee). I love, repeat, love my spydie!
