Howdy - I'm looking for a fully-manual serrated pocket folder slightly larger than my Ladybug (3 inches closed would be perfect). I'd like to spend under $50 but I'm flexible. Any suggestions?

If you like your Ladybug, you'll probably love the Dragonfly 2. Just under 3 1/4" long closed, available with full-length Spyderedge (though I prefer plain edge.) Can find 'em online for under $50 shipped. Possibly the best "Little Big Knife" out there.

Thanks! I like my Ladybug, just wish it had a slightly larger handle. I will definitely check out the Dragonfly.

+1 for the Dragonfly 2. I've got the plainedge, and I love that little knife. Discreet, non-threatening, VG-10, and just plain good looking.

If you're looking for cheaper, the Byrd Robin is almost exactly the same size, weight, shape/style -- but it uses 8cr13mov instead of VG-10 and there are some other subtle differences. But that can be had for around $24 or so....

The Dragonfly 2 is a great knife. I have one as my regular pocket EDC knife.

Also look at a Delica 4. They're very reasonably priced, and very nice blades.
