I recently got a nice sum of money, but am clueless as to what I should buy next. Too many things on the want list for me to decide. So, I want help from you guys. Recommend away! (try to keep it around $100 or under)

Whats on my list:
Mini grip
Silver Douk Douk
Mercator Black Cat
Manix 2
Kershaw Blur
Kershaw skyline

So recommend something. Doesnt have to be from this list, but if it is, tell me why.
If its something else, give an explanation as to why you love it.
Im interested in all sorts of knives, so suggest away!

Chris.

Zero Tolerance 0350 - tough S30V steel, assisted opener, flipper, great ergos, fills the hand better than the Blur, great warranty

Or

Zero Tolerance 0200 - great 154CM steel, manual flipper, huge beast of a knife but fits big and small hands alike brilliantly, great warranty, tough as a brick outhouse

Both can be had as blems from kershawguy for around your budget.
 
I would go for the mini grip...but that's just because it's my most recent purchase :D I got the 555HG, I love the modified sheepsfoot blade and thumbhole deployment, plus you can't beat the axis lock for awesomeness! (my opinion) I love the 154CM steel, I keep expecting it to be dull after using it and it almost seems like its getting sharper. It's also fun to play with.

Yeah, I want to get a mini grip with black tanto m4 blade, and sand handles with black hardware

You won't be disappointed! I have no experience with M4, but I've heard it's substantially better than 154CM and that is already awesome for me.

Haha thanks.
I just think s30v is too popular, not that its bad, I just want to be different. Maybe M4 is a wonderful steel
 
If you can swing $120 I suggest a Benchmade Rift. It has an AXIS lock which IMO is the best lock on the market. If you have largish hands the handle seems to fit great but might not be too good for smaller hands. It has a long blade for how long the handle is and I really like the profile. It's a bit different than normal and the reverse tanto gives the tip more strength. It has a high flat grind which comes down somewhat thin which makes it a good slicer yet pretty strong with the full thickness along the top. I've been playing the knife game for quite a while and it is still my favorite design. I have had one version or another in my front right pocket ever since they came out.

Second to that I would say a Para 2 but they are hard to find at the moment. There is a ton of info on why they are great knives. Maybe check out the Spyderco Superleaf. They are discontinued and on closeout at many places. It also has a compression lock like the Para and a fairly attractive design. Good luck choosing.
 
If you can get ahold of one, Kershaw Shallot Damascus. The knife has a nice large blade and very nice curves. It's slim and can handle just about any cutting task you can think of.
 
Kershaw knockout. Look up reviews, nothing but positive reviews from it.

Or the Kershaw piston.
