Try an ESEE Izula II. For your price range you can find them used all day long it seems for about $50. I can't recommend you a folder. All folders I've had and/or experienced regardless of make will unlock itself under small force.

For self defense I would go with a fixed blade with either a horizontal or IWB sheath. Depending on my mood I carry one of the following ESSE 3, Tops Cheetah, Busse SJTAC, Swamp Rat Game Warden or RMD. I also carry a Byrd straight edge folder that sees all the daily grunt work.
With most blades you get what you pay for. You don't want to be that guy that carries a thousand dollar 1911 and a twenty dollar blade.
What if the knife you carry cost more than the gun you carry?
There's not a day that goes by that I don't use a knife. So I can justify that.
as for the kershaw, do you prefer any particular blade type?
