Default Folding Knife Recommendation
Looking for good carry knife for everyday use. Best I can get for $100 or less. 4 inch blade or smaller. Made in America, even better.

I would consider a Benchmade 556. They can be had for less than $100. and are very nice. If you can spend a little more, I personally carry a Benchmade 525 or a 940. All made in the US and with a (limited) lifetime warranty.
