I have to admit, this is quite addicting... I just bought a Spyderco Delica 4 FFG and I already want more. I made a list of the knives I hope to get in the future, however I don't know which one I should actually get next. The knife will primarily be for EDC. Here is the list... I know its long but I don't actually expect to buy every single one of these knives. I just wanted to put all the viable candidates down on paper:

- Spyderco
- Endura
- Manix 2
- Tenacious
- Caly 3
- Centofante III

- Benchmade
- Griptilian
- Mini Griptilian

- SOG
- Flash 2
- Trident
- Aegis

- Kershaw
- Leek
- Blur

- Cold Steel
- Recon 1

Note the Cold steel wouldn't be for EDC use... It just looks awesome.

I have a budget of about 80 bucks for my next knife.

I know It might seem like I'm asking a lot , but I just want to choose my next blade.

Thanks :D
 
My vote goes to the Manix 2. It'd be a nice heavier-duty complement to the Delica.
 
I have most on your list and the Mini Griptilian makes a great EDC, although a little fatter than some of the others but very secure in hand for cutting task.
 
I'd probably go for an assisted opener. Either the Aegis or the Blur. The Manix is pretty sweet though. Wish my list was that short.

Haha, I had to cut it down quite a bit. I really would enjoy an assisted opener (they look cool and I have never used one). However I don't know how good the kershaw blur is for EDC tasks compared to the manix.
 
Out of those, the Manix 2, Griptilian, or Leek in composite blade. I'd avoid Cold Steel and SOG, since the other companies offer more for the price.
 
I'd say the Blur and Manix 2 offer the same amount of utility. Really comes down to preference. Both will have great fit and finish, and provide plenty of cool factor. I'm just scratching the surface with Kershaw knives, but their attention to detail is amazing. These knives are really close in terms of size, weight, and capability. Really can't go wrong.
 
I have a kershaw blur and love it. no play in the blade, and holds a decent edge. I think my next edc may be the benchmade grip, it has many good reviews. Good luck.
 
My vote goes for the Caly 3. Super sharp with the ZDP-189, and it fits the hand great. Although between that and another Spyderco you didn't mention, the Native, I prefer the latter. You should take a look at that one in carbon fiber, or wait for this year's version in G10. Who knows when that might be out though.

The drawback to the native is actually the high cost. It is out of my budget :( Also, I really dig the G10 anyways on the Manix 2.

I guess it all comes down to the manix 2 and the kershaw leek. I might just get both XD
 
Did you ever consider the Kershaw Skyline? Just a suggestion. $30 shipped. Great knife, flipper is addicting.
 
I just bought a Recon 1, can't wait for it to get here! I bought it because it was relatively cheap, it had a triad lock system, and it looks BA!

I think I'm going to get a flipper knife, and the Manix 2.

Basically, I am looking at the

Kershaw blur, Kershaw leek, Kershaw Skyline, Sog Aegis, Sog Flash 1/2
