Love the Spyderco Endura, possibly the best choice for you? I don't care about the wave, I can open it very quickly one handed. It's slim, lightweight, and an awesome cutter (my favorite is fully serrated, but I've got several including partially serrated). You can get the Endura 4 (pocket clip will mount on either end of either side, giving maximum options for carry position) on eBay for right around the $50 budget you mentioned (check out a seller called "Spydieguys" I think is the name, Poor_Fish is another good one. Just checked, lots of choices in color, blade and wave or not for under $50 with "Buy It Now".
The Griptillian is also really cool, the Axis lock system worked properly is just as fast as a switchblade. And the SOG Pentagon and Spec Elite series (two sizes of each) also use a lock essentially the same as the Axis lock. Very fast, and great knives. I think those are over your stated price range though.
