Atlantic Knives has Kershaw Leek Gradient Stainless Folding Magnacut Knife (Purple & Black) for $94 after applying code PRICEDROP5 at checkout. Shipping is free.
Thanks to Community Member slickdealmeals for finding this deal.
BladeHQ has select Kershaw Knives on sale for the prices listed. Shipping is free.
Atlantic Knives has this for $98.95, use code PRICEDROP5 to bring it down to $94.00, free shipping. This/these may have been around this price for a while but this one is the Purple that apparently comes with a comic book[kaiusa.com]. Assisted open framelock. US Made. Blade is on the thin side but from reading up on MagnaCut it seems it's fine for this steel.
The only thing I found with MagnaCut that comes close to this price is a Spyderco Salt with slipjoint. Historically just saw a Hogue last year for $90.

I understand the positive reviews of the Leek but for my use the blade shape is more of a negative than useful. Magnacut is a good blade but if you don't really need high corrosion resistance, some of the other premium steels could be had for a lower price.
I will be keeping an eye out for a Magnacut knife. I did carry a Leek for a while but it is really too small for my hand. I need something around 3.5" or so. Something as thin as the Leek would be great and it sounds like Magnacut would be the perfect steel.

Maybe the Hogue mentioned above will be for you then.

The article above seems to say it excels in toughness as well..

It actually excels in all three categories they look for in knives. Toughness, corrosion resistance and edge Resistance. Magnacut does well in all three. My point is, there are some steels could that do better in toughness and edge retention and could be had at a lower price than some magnacut knives.

The thing I found strange is that site has the Magnacut version on sale for less than the other Deka sale prices.
