I think this thread auto renews every few months.
My 2 cents from some of the local talent recommendations that I had or purchased. Spyderco Native, Gerbers with FAST technology.
I carried one of these for years before the native. Hard to beat for $30.

A tad heavy but mine is still in service after seven years.

Think I'll forestall Hso's inevitable question: What do you use a knife for? Do you primarily want a knife for your pocket, a larger folder of the pocket clip variety, or a belt knife, either folding or small fixed-blade?
Fixed or folding?
Belt or pocket?
Opening envelopes and cleaning nails or working around the ranch/farm/construction site?
One hand opening or nail nick or balisong?
Serrated or unserrated?

Opening envelopes and cleaning nails or working around the ranch/farm/construction site? Defense/utility
One hand opening or nail nick or balisong? One hand
Serrated or unserrated? Either, but think I prefer a plain blade overall

What do you mean by "utility"? Farm/Ranch or Garage or just around the house?
What self defense training have you taken?

What self defense training have you taken? Military standard self defense training.Knife specific training? None. More of a last ditch effort weapon if needed.

Ok, that helps.
Bird and trout field use or deer hunting?

By field use, I mean more bushcraft than field dressing.

A Kershaw "Needs Work" fits your criteria. I use mine on the farm daily. It has a useful utility blade, and a great design. Quick one hand opening. Pocket clip.
I have posted about this knife several times. It seems that I am the only one that likes it, but I think it is a great knife.
$40.00.

kershaw makes a decent low end knife.
the spyderco tenacious line is pretty nice too.
cheap and some are shameless copies, but they are very impressive for the price.

So you're looking for a folding bushcraft knife for under $100.

Two to check out are the: Kershaw ken onion series. I like the 1560, with the assisted opening it's basically a switchblade once you get used to it. The other I like is the benchmade mini griptilian if the kershaw is too big.

The Griptilian is a great knife, it'll be at the high end of what you want to spend but it's well worth it.
