I am looking for a spring assisted knife. I want decent quality but yet still under say $50. I would prefer $40 ish.
Would like recommendations on the point or tip type.
What are the advantages of one thoe of tip to others? Clip tip, tanto etc.
Thanks in advance for your information recommendations.

May I humbly suggest the Kershaw Cryo?
I prefer the Cryo G10 version, it's just a tad lighter and I like the G10 scale.
They have the 'Speedsafe' open assist, in other words, a 'flipper.' Personally I find it deploys about as fast as an auto.
Another reason I like them is that they have four corner clip positioning. I have mine so it clips into my weak side pocket (left), tip up. That way when I pull it out my finger falls right onto the flipper and -click- it's open.
They're inexpensive enough to lose one every now and then and not cry too hard, usually $30ish dollars.
Decent steel, easy to sharpen and holds an edge pretty well.
