Alright so here's the question. What is the only folder you would have for an edc? I know this is a question that has been asked a lot before but here's the restrictions.
1) you will also have a traditional style knife on you, (Stockman, congress etc). By the by the traditional is unimportant.
2) it can't be a Spyderco
3) it can't be a tanto
4) it has to be over 3 inches but under 4
5) it has to be a supersteel
6) it has to be under $100
Having said all of this I hope you enjoy the teeth pulling required to meet these criteria!
P.s you also have a mutitool (could also be a small fixed blade)
Have fun!
 
You're simply not getting a 4" blade in "supersteel" for under 100 unless you can find a crackhead to steal it for you for that amount. That said, if you're willing to accept Böker's VERY capable 440C steel, this is an elegant and original choice:

Kizer 4403. S35VN, titanium framelock, 3.75" blade and can be had for just under $100 with a careful search.

Define super steel. Is S30V a super steel? If so, Kershaw Blur seems an obvious choice. S30V, 3 3/8 inch blade, not a Spyderco or a tanto, runs around $65-70.
 
A folder with "supersteel" is a freaking joke. Like NetshadeX sated, not going to happen. But most likely you are not crazy and you meant something else with supersteel than what I have in mind (3V, M390, S90V, etc.)

Anyway, Kershaw Junkyard Dog II Composite Blade perhaps?

I EDC one of my four Spyderco Militaries since 2008, with the C/F M390 as my favorite, so whatever with your criteria... :P

If I only had one folder for EDC, it undoubtably wouldn't be anything that fits your requirements. Nice way to ask for knife suggestions though.

Welcome to the forums.

I don't know how crazy it is to expect a really high end steel for under $100. The trickiest bit is the non-Spyderco qualification. If you eliminated that, and with some of the other knives mentioned, you could choose from S30V, S35VN, Elmax, ZDP-189, CTS-XHP, Aogami Super Blue as well as the CPM-D2 you mentioned. Heck, with some luck you might be able to scored a used Gayle Bradley off the exchange for around $100 and get some M4.
