OP ,I think I know exactly what your talking about. I frequent the local military surplus store to visit with a friend. At the far end of the display case there is a $20 and under section.

stated in opening post, there are some excellent entry level knife designs by mainstream companies that seem destined to remain an inexpensive offering only.
A few make the leap, the leek, and the link, are two that come to mind. Example, M390 Link, $80, great knife. The M390 divided is sweet also.
It's all too often though that I'll pick up a new $$$ model , use it and think, man this one sweet knife, but I wish it cut as well as my para2 and was as smooth opening as a Blur, and as light as a bugout.
Tool for the job and everybody's got a different job or different way of doing it. And a little bling never hurt anyone, I just hate it when it gets in the way of what I'm trying to cut.
