RogueJSKBudget D/A OTF knife
I'm looking to pick up an OTF knife for duty use, but don't want to drop $200-$300+ on something like a Microtech, Kershaw, or similar, though I still want something above "gas station/gun show knife" grade.
Here's my wish list:
-Spear, drop, or dagger point. Non-serrated.
-Left hand or ambidextrous use (e.g. a reversible pocket clip, or an ambi switch on the front grip).
-Double-action.
-$100 or under.
If it comes in OD Green, even better, but plain Black is fine.
I understand at this price point that I won't get some ultra high end steel, and it'll likely be Chinese/Taiwanese made, though perhaps from a legit US or European company.
A quick Google led me to some seemingly decent options like the
AKC Evo or the
Templar Gen II for ~$100.
What else should I be considering?

robtomLook at the Cobratec large Ranger, drop point blade, reversible clip, aluminum frame with G10 sides available in black or OD green. I have one in black and one in green, nice knife with a street price just over $100.
