Pocket knife recommendations?

In the market for a new daily carry. Want a spring assisted open with a serrated blade. Prefer to keep it under $40 if possible. I carry a kershaw now, but want something new. Any recommendations?

Double your price point and get a serrated equivalent to the Kershaw Leek. 14C28N is significantly better than 8Cr13MoV and worth the extra money.
ETA: I say this after losing my 10 year old Leek and buying a $30 kershaw 8Cr13MoV because of how much the price went up on the Leek. Should have just bought another one. It’s not even close.

I have been carrying Kershaw Ken Onion design for several years. It's thin and clips on your pocket. Easy to open.

I’d advise against anything spring assist. Maybe I have bad luck, but if had the spring fail a few times. It’s the weak link. Just get a flipper

Or anything with a crossbar lock like Benchmade. My beater work knife has been a Benchmade Presidio for years, always been easy for one-handed opening and closing with a snap of the wrist or thumb-stud flick. When it gets too full of sawdust and lint to work smoothly I just blast it with WD40, shake/wipe it off, and it's back in business. Some people will fault the omega springs as a potential failure point but I have around 20 Benchmade knives and have never had one fail in the last 22 years of owning them.
