Under $ 100.00 USD--Endura, Native, Delica. Take your pick. Just over $100 the Para Militray-plenty big, so is the Endura. Just my 2cents. Happy Shopping

Howdy! Welcome to the forum :D

You asked "THE" question :eek: You're going to get dozens of answers :eek:

Have you looked through the Spyderco catalog? Online or otherwise?

You have A LOT to pick from in that price range. Though some have favorites, most any of the bigger than what you have will probably make you happy ;)

I'm not trying to evade your question, but the choices I would list would be almost like reading you the catalog :D

If you're willing to go slightly over $100 (web price), I definitely think the Paramilitary is well worth it.

Under $100, I'd have to go with the Grey Calypso Jr. as my consistent favorite all-around.

I'm just a fan of a somewhat leaf-shaped blade and the flat grind.

As far as your picture goes, that looks like the Necklace version of the Police model to me...

Ok, to narrow it down... what kind of handles do you want? Stainless, FRN, or...?

Do you want one around 3 1/4" closed, or around 4" closed?

Narrowing those things down might help you figure what you want :D

Stainless I think, and 4" closed is fine

Go with a full sized police. You can find them all day on ebay for around $85 or The endura is good too
