My absolute favorite carry knife is the Spyderco Manix 2 LW. You can get one, delivered, for about $102. Yes, it's FRCP (a kind of plastic), but it's still extremely strong, less than 4 oz, and has a sturdy CBBL lock.
I recently got a CRKT M16 and really like the size but it is not easily opened with the flipper.
I went this way in D-2 steel but the AUS-8 steel version fits your budget.

I agree, but I'm a sucker.I don't see the point of getting a liner lock when you can get a safer lock system for the same money
I was checking out your recommendation on Amazon when I came across this, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LB1PJS9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I couldn't resist should be here Wednesday : ) It looks like a good travel knife for checked luggage.like this Ganzo with Axis
I like that the 110 slim an affordable US made knife. I'm not thrilled that it's riveted together rather than screwed together. It is a neat update on the old classic.
I'm pushing 40 and the BSA required locking blades for safety when I was growing up. The UK laws prohibiting locking blades are based in fear, not reality. The UK also prohibits pepper spray and stun guns, so their political stance against any form of self defense isn't something I'd use to support that argument. Liner locks are one of the weakest commonly available folding knife locks. Why risk your safety when comparable knives are available with proven stronger locks?Most of us grew up with slipjoints, and learned quickly that there was no reverse unless the coast was clear to put the blade away. The various locking systems are most useful for fighting, to the point they are against the law in the UK. I don't doubt that liner locks have failed, but safety calls for redundancy anyway, just as with handling a firearm. Still, I like the button release on my Milwaukee utility knife...

I've bought a ton of Kershaw knives over the years. Lots of Leeks (5 or 6 in my toolbox with broken tips). Kershaw used to be really good about warranty replacing damaged or faulty knives. Most of my damaged ones are replacements.Kershaw sent me some more, but i discovered i had actually stripped one of the screwholes. So, no more clip for now.
I have a couple of Leeks. The Bareknuckle looks nice! Is it fairly thin? I see Amazon has them for $60. Is that a fair price?I've bought a ton of Kershaw knives over the years.

I'm carrying the Bareknuckle now. Little beefier blade than the Leeks.
That's cheaper than I paid, so I'd say it's a good price. It is made in U.S.A., correct? The one I bought is and I paid around $75. It's thicker than the Leeks, but I'm not sure the actual thickness. I'll try to get a pic with something for contrast.I have a couple of Leeks. The Bareknuckle looks nice! Is it fairly thin? I see Amazon has them for $60. Is that a fair price?
Thanks I just did a Google search and it came up with the Amazon. I would give my LGS the business for a few bucks more money.That's cheaper than I paid, so I'd say it's a good price.
