I picked up a SOG flash I. Need something for every day use that was small enough to work with dress pants. I've been very happy with it.
*Note it is a small knife. |

I picked up a benchmade mini ambush a few weeks ago for a new EDC knife. Its not assisted opening but opens easy with one hand. I was cutting asphalt shingles with it this weekend and the edge help up very well, very impressed.
Almost forgot, I paid $50 for the mini ambush. |

Not assisted opening per se, but I really like my Spyderco Endura Wave. Can normally be found in the $70 range.

Ken Onion Leek less than $50. Great knife, easy to carry. I have a Boa as well. It's more than you price point, and less convenient to carry (bigger and heavier), but great for scaring the crap out of milquetoast co-workers

Take a look at Cold Steel. Mine holds one hell of an edge. The video of them cutting a milk jug in half on their website is for real. I've done it.

The Glock of the knife world would be a tough, rugged and dependable design with no frills and a proven, time tested lock.....at a low price.
That knife is the Spyderco Endura. |

Yep, Benchmade and Spyderco at that price range. Most anything from Cold Steel, CRKT, Kershaw, etc will be made from substandard steels and won't hold an edge very long. You are looking for: S30V, 154CM, D2, etc. You will be able to find a good knife at around a hundred. Take a look at Zero Tolerance for a solid assisted opener at a little higher price. Or anything Emerson for a non-sprung, yet waved folder (emersons are AWESOME and the wave feature is faster than an assisted opener). Emersons go for around 150-200 though.

I want a quality knife, under $100, for an always-with-you, do anything tool. I don't care to pay for name/prestige, just for a quality tool- the Glock of folding knives if you will. I'm looking for assisted opening, something that holds an edge, and is legal to carry in TX. Where should I be looking? Thanks You mean the 1911 of folding knives. You wouldn't want that knife to blow up and take off your hand, would ya?

Though, I am partial to a RECON1.

I've had alot of knives and my current pocket carry is one of the best I've ever found. The next would be my Spyderco Manix and the only reason I'm not carrying it is because the "great" state of Georgia is scared of a pocket knife more than 3". Open yourself up to more than assisted openers in my opinion and be willing to spend a little more for something as important as a pocket knife. Afterall, if the shit hits the fan in any normal day, it's the one knife you'll likely have with you. 
Spyderco Caly

I have wore out a spyderco native. I have alot of knives but end up carrying it all the time. I like the large hole in the blade, you can flick it open easily and if you carry it in your front pocket it doesnt have the little stud to scratch your hand. |

Im on my 2nd kershaw blur in 6 years. The original even lived through falling out of my pocket at 35 mph on the harley.
Always holds a good edge......great knife. Ive thought about getting a couple more to throw in the safe just for the hell of it |

Have carried a Spyderco Endura for many years. It's rugged, relatively inexpensive so that you don't feel too awful if it breaks or you lose it, and very good quality.
I think it's the perfect EDC and utility knife. |

There are a number of good Kershaws well within your price point. I've got a Speed Bump, a Shallot, and a Rainbow Leek. Out of all 3, my favorite is probably the Leek, followed closely by the Shallot. I carry the Leek every day (along with one of my Busse fixed blades and a gun).
