For the record, I feel the same that the Cryo is too slippery - which is why I'm super glad Kershaw released a G10 version of it last year.
I also agree that the Tenacious is just a bit too big for EDC - and they do make the Persistence, which is a shrunken version of the Tenacious, with a 2.75 inch blade vs the Tenacious' 3-3/8 inch blade. If you wanna go even smaller, the Ambitious has a 2.25" blade. All 3 knives share a similar design (though the Ambitious is small enough that the proportions might look a little weird to some).
A few other knives of note that are standouts in the sub-$50 price range:

ETA a few more links and some clarification of my still-awake-at-5am rambling.
You won't be wrong with any of the knives you mentioned, so just go for the one that you think you will like better visually and in EDC use.
BTW - you should consider the Spyderco Delica as well, some colors are on sale now.
Here are my personal essentials.
Also, you're going to want a sharpening system that works for you in the long run. I personally use the Spyderco Sharpmaker But there are tons of good sharpening options out there.
P.S: You're going to get a lot of people hating on your Gerbers most likely, that's because they're honestly not worth it in the long run. They use very low quality steel for the price and they don't have the best quality control. I'm not saying your Gerbers are trash or anything. But they definitely won't last very long. Just about all of the knives I listed will last you a lifetime if you treat them right, and oil/sharpen them correctly.
If you decide you like edc folders you might want to look into a spyderco Cara Cara or Delica both are a similar design to the BX309 but made with more durable materials.
Hard to beat a spyderco delica for a lightweight edc knife. I just got a manker e02h and it’s an outstanding little edc light coupled with eneloop aaa’s.
Alright, I'd ask for something like the Spyderco Delica- it's about $60, very lightweight, good steel that holds an edge decently but isn't hard to sharpen, and you won't feel bad about being mean to it.

If you like kershaw you can get a blur with S30v steel for around 65$ on amazon if you still want a kershaw. I've never been too impresed with them since I find their build quality to be lacking. They seem to have an excessive amount of blade play and use average quality steels in most of their knives. The a premium steel that can hold a razor sharp working edge. The spyderco delica/endura line is also a great knife. They have full flat ground blades that come razor sharp from the factory with absolutlely no blade play. I personally carry a green delica as one of my edc knives. The dragonfly is also great if you want a knife that dissapears on your person. it is a featherweight knife, that cuts and handles like a much larger knife.
If you are looking for a knife that can take an absolutely harsh beating, I would have to reccomend an Ontario RAT 1 or 2 depending on you size preference. They are a bit heavy in hand compared to other knives it size, but perform just as good as any of my spydercos. It is also on the cheaper side at around 25$.
The benchmades are also a good choice, but I would also reccomend the benchmade mini-presidio.
Anyways, I thought I might as well just post some links to them:

Can't go wrong with a Spyderco Delica. It's a trusted and well loved EDC knife. Check out some of the reviews on it.

The Delica 4 has a 2.875 inch VG-10 blade and is 4.25 inches in length when closed. Handle thickness is about the same with the Nano at 0.40".
It weighs 2.5 ounces, which actually makes it lighter than the Nano at 2.9 ounces.
You are also in price range of the Delica 4 and Centofante 3 or Endura 4
These are much better knives than the Tenacious, Skyline or Cryo. VG-10 is much better steel, made with much better quality control from better materials.
Obviously, they are right at your price point, but its a whole-nother-level type of thing when compared to the Cryo and such.
FYI, its currently $65 on amazon.
lol im really not a gun snob, but i love my full size mk25, in the summer or when i dont have a suit i carry a small sig p938 so i dont mind smaller guns at all. My spyderco that i just lost was a delica 4. heres the link. I loved it! I also carried a cutco folding knife that was amazing
