Not my favorite but my favorite to actually carry would be an Ultratech. Well within your budget and readily available in double edged configuration.

I have one of the little Microtechs. I carry it a lot. I'm not knife fighting, just need a knife. So it works well.

The best is the Hawk Knives Deadlock. But the best is not cheap. Microtec is good too.

I've had quite a few and the only one that has seemed to be worth a shit is this little guy.
OTFs aren't much more than a toy in most cases.

Microtech Ultratech and Combat Troodon are my two rotating every day carry knives. Troodon is double edged with one side fully serrated.
I'm sitting on a plane so I'll have to take a pic later |

After all they aren't cheap. They require additional upkeep and they love to collect dust/dirt that makes the action gritty. Failures to fully deploy due to debris or the blade being blocked are a real concern if you're considering one for serious use. |

Or I’ll just have one for more limited use, after all they are pretty cool. |

Used be be a UTX-85 but now it's a Hogue Counterstrike. It's better than the microtech, IMO.

For your req’s, I’d say ultratech spartan
Or the D/E serrated on one side blade Buy a hifinder or clone from ok-knives.net and test run whatever you want for $40 before committing to $400 |

Quoted: Lightning $40 I've been surprised by my lightning elite. It's been super reliable and since I thinned the blade down, it actually cuts decently. |

Kershaw guy has them at a decent price and even cheaper for a blem when he gets them https://kershawguy.com/product/kershaw-livewire-otf-automatic-out-the-front-9000-preorder/ I have the black non-blem live wire and it's a solid OTF. Well built. Only thing I don't like is that the handle is pretty long compared to blade length. Makes holding and using the knife great though. I've carried it off and on for a few months and never had an issue with it. |

Lightning OTF’s are awesome beater knives. Soft blades but the lock up is among the best.
 My personal favorite, which is the Boker Kwaiken. They’re a gamble though as there are two generations and no way to tell without taking it apart and the first generation had problems.  The Hogue which is a good knife but stiffer than Joe Biden at a Girl Scouts meeting. Not a big fan so I sold it. Their newest models are supposed to be a lot better so will probably be my next OTF purchase. An OD green Microtech might pull me away at a good price.  |

Think PSA/Natchez/Brownell's but for knives, if it exists. |

I carried the black one for several months. I like them a lot, but the blade thickness is pretty slim and i wouldn't really put it to hard use. Those blades LOVE to cut.  |
