When I think of production framelocks, I always immediately picture Striders and Sebenzas. What are some other, less expensive, sturdy production framelocks?

Kershawk Leek, Kershaw Groove, Kershaw Storm, and Kershaw Vapor all come to mind. UnknownVT used to compare the Vapor to a Sebenza on a budget.
 
There is the diminutive Spyderco Spin. That little knife is a framelock. The Buck/Mayo TNT......
 
Perhaps one of the best recent frame locks to come out are:

On the high $ end. The Zero Tolerance 301 and 302

On the low end the Kershaw Groove.

STR
 
Spydie stainless steel Cricket and Spin.
Boker Subcom and Trance.
Kershaw JunkYard Dog I.

Production framelocks are really very common now.
 
Emerson makes a couple, though they're not exactly "inexpensive", they can be had for less than a Strider or a Sebenza. The CQC-12 is a beefy framelock, as is the HD-7.
 
The Kershaw Titanium Bump is my favorite Frame lock, with the Leek and the new ZDP CYclone a close second and third.
 
I'd say the best lower cost framelocks I've ever encountered were:

Buck/Mayo 172
Kershaw Groove
and
Benchmade 630

Spyderco Volpe is a really cool knife. A little heavy, since it uses stainless steel for the frame, but still very, sturdy.
