I've googled and read a lot, but don't really seem to get the answers I'm looking for, so maybe it's a unicorn or something. I'm looking for traditional style knife, 1-2 blades, USA made, with a pocket clip. Doesn't need to lock, but would be a bonus. All for around $100 or less (preferred) as I tend to often break or loose one here and there. The made in USA is a big bonus, but not completely a deal breaker. Thanks for suggestions.
 
They are out there I'm sure, but the USA made and sub 100 together is the hard part unless you find something older..

Manly Wasp is a solid choice.
Cold Steel Lucky.
Boker Plus Tech Tool City 1.
Ruike L11-B.
Lionsteel Thrill (little over $100 but nice)

Edit: Bear and Son also make a traditional lockback (ie Buck 110/112) with a pocket clip..

On this note, I am still determined to eventually drill and tap my Kershaw Federalist to accept a pocket clip 😓

Case trapperlock or Kickstart… not sure if they’re still in production tho…the kickstart is assisted opening I believe
 
Forgot to mention I'd like to stay away from the 110 style, it's a nice knife, just not my taste.
