if you had $150...

Paramilitary 2.

Those who think it is a "common" knife should try finding a website that has any in stock.
 
I've carried my ZT566 on and off for a few months now, and even though it's a little on the heavy side, it's one of my favourites thanks to how sturdy it feels.

Spyderco Native 5 with G10 scales would be my other suggestion.
 
All Spyderco fan here.
Sage 2 ... perhaps the finest folder existing with 3" S30V blade.
Sage 3 carbon fiber...beautiful and much like the Sage 2.
Caly 3 or Caly 3.5 in ZDP-189 blade. Outstanding EDC.

agree. i have 1000$ set aside for a custom knife that truly sells me...but nothing tickles me enough. performance, there is all i need of it in spyderco folders. anything more, i use my benchmade 162
 
Get a Titanium Kwaiken! It will be fun to carry a tiny folding ninja sword for a while, and then you can take it apart and anodize it, or customize it in some other fashion. Fun now AND later!
 
$150 would put me that much closer to either a sebenza or similar priced midtech.
scored a dpx heat off of the exchange for $130, will let you know how I like it, when it lands on Friday.

How'd it pan out?
