Want some more "cool" knives

I already own more knives than I have reasons for owning them, but that doesn't keep me from buying more.
Give me some ideas for some new knives.
Guidelines:
1. small (but not tiny!) fixed blades preferably 3-4" blade, but with a decent handle-enough to fit a medium hand.
2. folders with 3-3.5" blades, I don't like little bitty folders, and don't need any larger ones (until I see an Axis AFCK!)
3. classy, elegant styles, that are still users-anything I buy, I use.
4. quality products only-not picky about brands, though I do have a thing for ATS-34/154CM in a folder.
5. $100-150 (web pricing) preferably-less is good, too

I started to go for some larger knives, but wanted to get stuff that I could actually use pretty often, and carry in rotation.

Right now, my blue BM 940 is my only knife that meets those criteria. I also have preordered a REKAT Pikuni (couldn't find a Simonich, they sell so quickly when someone gets one), and am on the verge of getting a MT mini-Socom auto.

Thanks in advance for helping me blow my money

As my friend Larry Jones is wont to say "You've got to have STUFF!!".

Ugly knives need not apply. Already got a few of those.

Get yourself a Grohmann #1. They are also know ans Russel knives or something like that. They have an eliptical blade, a "wierd" looking handle that locks in your hand and you can order different sheath options, a few handle material choices as well as carbon or stainless steel. Search for Grohmann and you'll have a great one to add to your collection! Maybe a few! Price wise, I think you can get 'em for something like $50 US.

If you don't already have one, I highly recommend the Microtech LCC or Kestrel.

I am not sure if it is available yet, but take a look at the Bob Lum Chinese Folder by Spyderco. This looks it's going to be a great knife.
 
I'm pretty sure most of us have more knives than we need so I understand completely

For what its worth, these are the few knives I'm gonna be considering come payday this month:
- CRKT Point Guard and M16. Really super value for money. Only AUS6A steel, though.
- BM Ares. Really classy looking folder with very comfortable handles.
- Spyderco Viele. Was convinced nobody would ever make a classy looking hole-in-the-blade until I saw this one.

Thanks, guys. Keep it up!
Mike, it'll be income tax season before I spring for a Sebenza

If I get one, it will probably be the small one.
 
I don't want to keep hawking one blade, but the Viele is a sweet piece. I currently own an old model with serrations, but it's got to be the fastest knife I own. If you practice for about five minutes, you'll be amazed. The knife opens if you think about it, but not otherwise. I've dropped it and thrown it and never had it open unintentionally, but I can now open it faster than my autos, with or without using the hole, and the lockup and handle strength are unbelievable. I have actually found it open in my hand when I've needed it, and not had to think about what happened between the pocket and the hand. It's in a class all its own, and unless you get a blade configuration you hate, you won't ever get tired of this one. As much as I hate to say it, this knife is a good argument against automatic knives due to its smooth mechanism.
