If you can afford to go a little higher on your budget, 135.00 to 150.00, I would recommend taking a look at a Zero Tolerance 350. Tank of a folder. Made in the USA, not too small, not too big. ZT/Kai USA has superb customer service as well.
I am looking for a EDC as well, problem is I want to handle a variety before I buy. If I cannot open it easily with one hand I won't get it, and although I am military I am not looking to get a spring assist. Don't even want to bother with the grey area.
I absolutely LOVE my CRKT M21SF. Can be opened upon drawing it from your pocket like the Emerson feature, and it's a tank. The Veff serrations can cut through most anything. I do need to sharpen my knife though. Just been waiting for the memory the come floating into my head when I'm at the store.

This is so far my favorite EDC, its the ZT 0350, I modified the handles though. I was never too big a fan of re-curve blades, but this one has been beat for 2 years straight and its still going strong!
∆∆ I tried carrying a ZT-201 for a while. I liked the knife but was WAY too big for my front pocket.
