Of couse Native5 is the best Spyderco under $100 (you can get 2015 Forum variant or adding few buck get S110V). Second will be Centofante3.

The Chaparral 1 comes in at around $100. Definitely worth considering. A sophisticated slicer that works well in many situations. Carries so well too.

If you don't mind lightly used, you can find the Sage 1 for under $100. It's somewhat similar to the Native though, so if you want different I'd second getting a Centofante 3.

The Dragonfly 2 is a great budget option as well, coming in well under your budget and helping to fill out the core of Spyderco's low budget Japanese line (Stretch, Endura, Delica, Dragonfly, Manbug, Ladybug).

Delica, Dragonfly, Chaparral, Native, Manix, Tenacious, Endura, Cricket.
For very slightly more: Para Military 2, Sage 1, Stretch.

Lots of good choices, and that ignores the cheaper options like Ambitious, Persistence, Ladybug, Manbug...

I'd save my pennies and spring for a Yojimbo 2, only slightly over $100.

It is not my favorite model but all things considered I think the Manix 2 is the best Spyderco value under $100.

Pretty sure the standard Manix 2 can still be had for about that.

My current favorites for under $100 would be the Native 5 LW (and you can have the 110V for a little over $100)...and of course, my long time favorite...the Pac Salt Serrated.
