Just wondering if I missed something in my searches. I really like my SAK electrician but I would like to transition into something a little nicer. I figured out that the awl and the 2 blades is really ideal for my day to day. Company and materials are pretty open but I can't really afford a custom so let's put the upper limit at $200 for something perfect. Thanks for any help.
 
Case makes their 3⅝" stockman with a clip main, sheepfoot secondary and punch at the other end, replacing the spey. Model #6318.
 
Just remembered that Moore Maker offers a #5305 stockman with punch at 3⅞" in 1095 steel, only theirs has the clip and spey at one end, with the punch at the other. No sheepfoot. Also, S&M have made several versions of their 3⅝" equal end cattle knife with clip, spey and punch.
 
The largest (4⅛" closed) and nicest one I know of is the GEC Cattle Baron 4-blade, this one in jigged yellow rose bone.

GEC produced these two SFO Cattle knives in 2010. They cross the bay from time to time. Mine doesn't shine any longer.

I've got a Schrade 36OT on the way. I've been wanting one for a while, and the price was right. It's basically the classic 34OT but with a punch/awl in place of the spay. New ones (USA made, not the new Chinese ones) are hard to find and don't come cheap, but it'd be way under your $200 limit (well under $100), although I don't know how much you'd be willing to spend on simple (but excellent) 1095 and delrin.

I've been wanting to pick up a Case 6/3318 with punch too.
 
It's not being made right now but a very interesting and work ready knife that meets your description is the Buck Rancher 319.

It may not be fancy if that's what you're looking for but it is a neat knife and can be found on the 'bay with regularity.

300Bucks did a nice ditty about it here.
 
After market only. Left first model, right second. Yes, you did ask for currently made, but these are common enough in the usual places you can find one without much trouble...I just searched a usual area and found seven for sale..... 300

Single blade + Awl, GEC makes the new SFO #15 Harness Jack (awl + spearpoint main) - but I don't know if they make a multi blade.
 
Perhaps a Scout Knife even?

Schatt&Morgan currently do one in Redbone or Stag.

My wife bought me a case 3318 cv stockman with punch this last Christmas. I had no use for a punch so I sharpened it into a razor sharp fingernail cleaning blade. I wasn't so sure I was going to like it but I have carried it and the cv peanut she also bought me everyday since I opened the box that contained them both. Have to admit too, the sheeps foot is now my most favorite blade shape.
