Colombia River Knife and Tool, CRKT, makes nice knives for well under 100 bucks. Some even have the framelock from chris reeve.
CRKT has a very good name for budget knives.

 

Thanks, I really like the M21 but I'm having trouble with the classification, different countries different rules, is it a gravity knife ?

What are you'r planning to do with such a knife? Conquer the mall?
Never really understood the term "gravity knife" but from the video on that page its obvious its an automtic opener. These type of knives are illegal in most countries afaik.

Most of these will get you a legal, good knife that does everything you want for EDC and some smaller woods chores. The Framelock knives provide a rock solid knife.
I recommended the Pazoda and Drifter to a few friends.
 
For under 100 bucks Spyderco is also a brand thats hard to beat. Specialy the Delica and  Endura models are well known.

Thanks, it will be used for camping, fire making and wood chores, Spyderco looks ideal for my needs.

Do you really want a folder?
If its for camping/woods only a small fixed works better in my book. Laws are still present but you are not looked at if some one sees you with a 4 or 5 inch fixed knife. Even a 3 inch fixed works better than a 3 inch folder. You can baton a fixed knife if needed with less risk of breaking  than a folder.
 
Have a look at ESEE
The ESEE4 is what i use. ESEE 3 is the smaller version.
 
They dont differ much in price.

LOL, where did you buy it? It seems like the most active pocket knife forum is allaboutpocketknifes.com, and even that is not that active.
 

 

[upstateguy]

I bought it years ago, I can't remember from whom????

try bladeforums or jerzeedevil.

Thank you for that.

Folding knife bought up in the Taurus mountains (Turkey) from the village strongman/ blacksmith/ imam for about $6.
 

 
I like the roughness of it and that the tension in the goat horn shaft retains the blade, you have to give it a good whack (against a hard surface)... child safety he said.
 
Edit: Added info.

I was thinking a folding blade would be easier to carry in my cargo pockets, but I could attach a fixed blade to my belt or molle, thanks for the links.

i know this is a multi tool but i cannot get a good edge on a leatherman squirt's knife. i can get buck 420 hc scary sharp. that is probably no comparison though since the buck is bos. i said elsewhere i had replaced a zdp189 knife in my pocket with it. i guess not after all. i re-profiled it and put an edge on it but it appears it is just not a great blade.
