If you want to stick with Spyderco, I'd recommend the Native 5. Similar excellent ergonomics as the Dragonfly, but slightly larger and with a better steel.
Heads up, the Native 5 LW is only 71 brand new from Amazon
Maybe a Spyderco Native? I wanna say these come in S35VN which is a pretty good steel.
I'd also consider the Mini Grip although that shipping time is atrocious. These come in 154CM.
A little beefier than a Delica and above your budget but I gotta recommend the HK Axis. I've heard that people don't like the mini's quite as much as the full size model but I take it you like the smaller side of things.
Just kinda poked around for some stuff I like on Amazon.ca. Good luck finding something!
In that range, I love the

Any decent knife these days is going to have a detent to keep the blade from deploying prematurely.
In addition to lock-backs (the best of which is the Native) there is Benchmades Axis lock. It doesn't use a detent, but uses spring pressure to jam the lock pin into a milled flat on the back of the blade. Something like a Mini-Grip carries very securely.
FRN Spyderco Native is a back-lock but gets you S30V under $100.
Spyderco Dragonfly 2 in ZDP189 is also a back-lock but is legal pretty much anywhere and has a kickass steel for under $70.
Honestly though, as a Sage owner... just bite the bullet and get the Sage. Or maybe look at building your own S30V Mini Grip.
