Welcome,
Do you have any preferences as to a folder or a fixed blade? Any specific tasks you are looking to perform with this knife? :)
 
Scrap Yard Scrapper 5, they're $100 each with a awesome warranty, "Our guarantee is simple. We warrant your knife against any and all unintentional MAJOR damage for life. The Scrap Yard guarantee is on the knife and NOT just for the original owner."

Here are some of the colors available.

This maybe? You didn't really specify anything at all exept the price...
Spyderco Phoenix, on knifecenter.com it's $198 or something
 
For a folder the Fallkniven PXL. Anyone who owns one will tell you they are excellent value for the dollar. You can pick one up for around $200 and they rival many knives in the $300-$400 range.

Not sure what your styling preferences are, but the PXL is fairly conservative and reasonably sheeple friendly.

The PXL is a large knife. If you are looking for something smaller the P/3G folder or the TK3 line are also excellent choices.

All these knives feature 3G blades (laminated SGPS) that take a razor sharp edge and hold it well.

There are of course many other great offerings available, but Fallkniven is worthy of consideration.

On this page, it lets you choose international shipping: http://shop.scrapyardknives.com/category.sc?categoryId=7

Then again, I've never ordered international before so I'm not sure, though a few of the guys on the board over there have. I would email them and ask about it. You still have at least 3 weeks before they close the ordering.
 
Well you already have a couple of CS knives, why not try and Black Rhino or a the Caledonian. I have both and the latter actually rivals some customs I have owned, and I ain't kiddin nor exaggerating when I say that. The Caledonian is my new edc and is about as well put together folder as I have ever owned. The PXL looks mighty fine too. keepem sharp
 
For fixed blades you might want to check out RAT cutlery. Either the RC3 Mil or the RC4 will easily fit the bill as far as price is concerned. Great knives backed by a fantastic warranty.
 
Check on Benchmade Gold class. Their street price should be close to $200. Personally I would go for some high end spyderco like the Rock Lobster, Caly 3 ZDP, etc.
 
The Spyderco Superhawk is my favorite folder ever. It has the best ergonomics of any knife I have ever tried, super grippy carbon fiber handles, the tremendously strong and smooth compression lock, and a great wire clip. The blade is a full flat ground relaxed hawkbill that I have found to be among the best EDC blades I have ever used. It is great for cardboard, rope, vines, and most anything I have tried it on, and the point is wickedly sharp. It might not be the ideal sandwich slicer, but the tip takes care of that as well. These features all come together in this knife to make an incredibly good knife. The fit and finish was about as perfect as I have seen from a production knife, and it has cemented a spot in my pocket. People get scared off by the hawkbill, but once you use it you see how useful it is at having controlled depth cuts, holding the material being cut on the edge, and just plain cutting like a champ. The blade is easily sharpened on the Spyderco Sharpmaker to levels well beyond factory sharpness once you are practiced with the Sharpmaker (I had it whittling hairs the first time I sharpened it, and that was the first hawkbill I've sharpened), so fear of sharpening the knife is not warranted. I haven't heard of any complaints from Superhawk owners about the knife's performance, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Any of the ZT's are worth more than what you pay for them.

Check out Spyderco's extensive collection of sub- $200 blades, all of which I'm sure any Spyderco nut would vouch for. (I'm not one of them) (yet). :thumbup:

If you want to save a little and still get a quality blade (or two :D) check out Kershaw.
 
Hmmm, lots of choices out there. If it were me I would probably get a BM mini rukus, or something else from Benchmade
