Another member posted about this a while back and noticed the great $19.99 price is still available:

If you want an assisted opening blade, I highly recommend the Kershaw Blur series. The handles of these are the right size (not too big not too small) and really fit my hand well. The assisted-opening mechanism is extremely fast.
Three different configurations:
1. Drop point blade serrated near handle (about $60 at Academy)
2. Tanto point blade serrated near handle (about $55 at Wal Mart)
3. straight drop point blade in a special S30V steel that is supposed to retain it's edge even longer (I just picked up one of these for about $65 on eBay - they go almost $100 retail)
I have #2 above and like it. It has a rough texture for a good grip.
