I love my Scallion (faithfully used and abused for 6 years), and have no real need to replace it...except...
My buddy had his faithful companion (a nice browning) break on him a few days ago, and he was left without an EDC knife.
I'd freak out if I didn't have a knife and would likely go spend $20 at a nearby store just to have something while I carefully picked another blade to replace my beloved Scallion. I figured I'd nip it in the bud, and look into a backup knife now rather than waste an extra $20 in an already tragic situation.
Criteria
I've been out of the loop for a long time, so a simple list of good quality assisted opening knives at the $30 price point would probably be all I need to find what I want. I have specific tastes, but I don't even know what is out there.
To get the ball rolling, the Oso Sweet Kershaw looks darn good except for the steel choice (not a deal breaker for a $25 utility EDC though).

- Assisted opening
- 3.25" blade give or take a quarter inch
- FIRM budget of $30 or less.
- Not a Scallion (I'd like to try out something new after 6 years)
