Boker Plus line is made in the PRC. They use a lot of what they call 440C - and some 12C27. The examples I have - and many more that I have fondled at the pusher's - have great fit & finish. Sharpness is spotty. Decent value.

Still - if the 'one hand opening' isn't a strong requirement, the basic Buck 110 is a great way to spend $30 at WallyWorld for a classic US-made knife. Now, if you can skip a fast food lunch or two, $86 will get you a custom made Buck 110 from Buck's 'Custom Shop' with nickel silver bolsters, Dymondwood scales, and an S30V blade - shipped, too. It'll take a couple of weeks - maybe longer - but what a knife!

Had a Buck 110 and that was a great knife. Don't know whatever became of it though. I now have a RAT-1 that is a very tough folder for less than $40
 
You can get a s30v keshaw Blur for around that, heck of a deal on an awesome EDC/Hard use knife.
 
The Recon 1 can be opened plenty fast with some wrist action. Mine is very smooth but the previous owner removed the coating from everything except the back spacer, it's silky smooth to open. I suepect like many knives that a new one may have a break in period.

Kershaw Junkyard Dog II, Tremor, G10 Blur, Lahar. Gerber 06 manual is a great knife but part serrated only. The Buck Bravo might work also.

Look for a used ZT 0200, I only paid $75 for mine. It was used but very mint.

the tremor can be had for under 35$ great knife!!!!! but if you can get the zt 0200 for 75$ i would say that one is the winner!!!!!

My favorite >3.5" folder under $75 is the Spyderco Endura, but I'm guessing that doesn't quite meet what you're looking for in terms of a larger/heavier folder. So I'll have to echo some of the knives that have already been suggested: CS Recon 1, CS American Lawman, and Kershaw JYD II CB.

cs recon 1 is an amzing knife for the price i will also be getting an american lawman because i love the recon so much!!!!!! i think that is 4 or 5 for the recon !:D

So far I like the Meyerco Lambert, BM 551, CRKT M21-04, CRKT Crawford Kasper Pro, but am wondering if I may have missed some other worthy contenders for easy to open one handed, seriously sturdy, plane edged, folders.

Spyderco Endura FFG.
 
I would also say a knife from Cold Steel with a TriAd lock like the Recon 1 or Voyager! Good Luck! Kevin :D
 
Another vote for the Endura...

I know the OP wanted plain-edge options, but I really like my SE... :thumbup:
