Even better, post it to /r/knifeclub.
It looks like it might have come from one or both of them originally though. That's a Kershaw Cryo II, one of the most popular budget blades out there
Edit: Actually after looking closer, the longer clip suggests it's the original Cryo, not the Cryo II. They're very similar though.

This is my backpack with everything inside, it's a Northface Surge. They don't produce or sell these anymore. I got it about 6 years ago and it shows very little wear.
You can get a Kershaw cryo2 for that price range and it's a solid knife.

Here are my personal essentials.
Also, you're going to want a sharpening system that works for you in the long run. I personally use the Spyderco Sharpmaker But there are tons of good sharpening options out there.
P.S: You're going to get a lot of people hating on your Gerbers most likely, that's because they're honestly not worth it in the long run. They use very low quality steel for the price and they don't have the best quality control. I'm not saying your Gerbers are trash or anything. But they definitely won't last very long. Just about all of the knives I listed will last you a lifetime if you treat them right, and oil/sharpen them correctly.
Lol, alright for example:
There are a LOT more suggestions I could add...
Kershaw Cyro II
Olight S15 Baton
Both end up being under $100 USD and both quality items.
Kershaw Cryo 2. Decent multi-purpose knife. Good value. Won't beat yourself up over it if you damage it. Plus it looks sexy.
Been here lurking for a while and finally decided to post my EDC. Since there's been some discussion lately as to where people carry their EDC that is how my list below is broken down. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Head
Neck
Left Wrist
Front Left Pocket
Front Right Pocket
Back Left Pocket or In-Hand
For those interested in the EZGO and KeySmart my opinions are as follows.
I like the EZGOs form-factor, but after owning it for a while it doesn't 'stretch' at all for what's in there. I have two credit cards, ID, insurance and a punch card in mine and it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of it. Also, since it's made to fit cards, anything bigger than that can't be accommodated. As a result I have my CPL, vehicle insurance and KOBALT tool rubber-banded to the thing. I've been eyeing the Flipside 3X as a replacement, but their shipping is around $7 which is over 10% the cost of the wallet... hence my apprehension in buying one.
As for the KeySmart, I've had it a couple of days and so far I dig it but with a couple of caveats. They include two keyblanks for Schlage-style keys. I took one of them to Lowe's to have it cut and there was an issue with the blank, as a result their machine could not provide an accurate copy. I purchased a key from Lowe's and they made it without issue. Not sure what kind of weird science is up with the blanks they included, but I would be leery of buying their 'lightweight' and colored blanks as you may have similar results. My second issue may be somewhat nitpicky, but it's next to impossible to open the door with one hand anymore. Hands full of groceries or mail? Well, you better plan ahead on getting your key flipped out prior to getting to the door, other wise you'll be settin' that shit down.
Would I buy the EZGO Slim again? No. Would I buy the KeySmart again? Yes.
They are $33 on amazon.
Your price range is pretty limited. Fixed knives are ideal for hiking not so much for a casual EDC.
Have you looked at the [Cryo 2 by Kershaw]( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d /B00AU6NWP4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1395338365&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40)? It's a fun knife, good for people with big paws and it's relatively cheap. (Not to be confused with the first Cryo, which is a smaller version of the 2)
Edit..I have huge paws, and happen to have a Cryo2 in my pocket for reference.

Right now on amazon you can get a Cryo2 for $30.
I would recommend a Spyderco Tenacious I have one, and it is probably the most sturdy folder I have. If that is a little big, you could always go with the Ambitious for less length. Finally, if you want to go still smaller, a Kershaw Cryo 2 may fit the bill. But I only have personal experience with the Tenacious.
Crkt does makes a nice knife. If you're interested, this is what I carry, I highly recommend it. If you check out my post history, I made a little mini review of it a couple days ago.
Kershaw cryo ii
Or
Spyderco tenacious
And a sharpener:
Smiths tri stone
Or
Lansky 5 stone system
Because a knife ain't shit if you can't sharpen it.

Best beater knife i've ever owned. Bet it's not much more expensive either. A quick measure here at my desk says it's only about 2cm shorter when open.

Kershaw Cryo II
Pogledaj na eBayu još. Ja ga kupio za cca 250 kn i prezadovoljan sam.
An excuse for a nice kershaw or similar company one handed knife would be "everything". I can't even keep track of all the times I use my knife during a given day, but not a single day goes by I don't use it for something. cutting, prying, backside to unscrew flat head screws, ect. there are so many reason to carry a good knife.

^also, never pay full MSRP on a manufacturers website. js
Well since this post, I've actually done a good amount of research and narrowed it down to pretty much two options:
The Cryo II because of the deep carry clip, good size, speed safe, and reputation
or
The Volt II for its awesome blade shape, tons of features,
goodcomfortable grip, and pretty much perfection. I'm kind of in love with the Volt II. It's just so thick.. It would be my dream EDC knife if it had a grip like the Kershaw Chill with its G-10, diamond pattern handle and thinness. So, idk. I'll probably end up going with the Volt II, I just with the grip were G-10 and more EDC orientedKershaw cryo is nice, solid steel scales and a stop pin so you can't over stress the framelock and best of all, it's cheap for the quality
My main EDC knife is a Kershaw Cryo 2 I love it because I'm a fidgeter too and the assisted opening action on this knife is very satisfying to me. Its a little more than $30 on amazon right now but I got mine for about $25 so they do have sales on them. Also its slightly on the heavier side for the size and I know you said you wanted light. Personally I like the heft. If you can find one locally somewhere I'd recommend picking it up and flicking it open a few times.
Pretty close to $25
