I find that 8Cr is perfectly acceptable for a working knife. High end supersteels like S35VN or M4 may be "better," sure, but they're also mostly going to be outside of your stated budget.
I have one of almost every Kershaw CQC variant, including both the 8Cr and D2 versions of the ones that come in both. I have had no problems whatsoever.
Is there one similar to that but with a partially serrated blade?
Well, the Emerson CQC-7BW leaps to mind but that one is also outside of your budget. I can't think of any other Wave openers off the top of my head with both a tanto point and half serrations.
The CRKT M16 is available in a tanto+serrated option, as is the Kershaw Blur for some more budget friendly, but known brand options. I'm really not a fan of half serrated blades so I have limited input, there.
Just found this wave adapter mod, seems pretty cool, thought you might like it if you didn't know of it already. Currently the recon 1 tanto half serrated knife is at the top of my list.

Well I don't really need wave openers just for it to be tanto and preferably serrated.
