I have a flurry of insults I could hit you with but I think I’ll keep it professional

What is ‘normal’, esp these days? Exactly who determines normal?
No thanks, I think I’ll stick to fixed blade/folder combo carry and do my own thing.
As to the question at hand, I’d recommend loooking at the Bradford Guardian 3 line up. I’ve got one in M390 and it’s a great little knife.
Normal? You mean like everyone else? HOW FREAKING BORING?!
Are you somehow worried that someone might be offended by how I dress or what knife I choose to carry? SO WHAT?!
Worried that the OP might scare the straights? Umm, perhaps they NEED a little scare once in awhile, to remind them that for all their BS, the world is not, nor has it ever been, a SAFE place, and the cops are never there when a crime is committed.
Maybe it would help if it were pointed out on the nightly news 5 or 6 times a week that kitchen knives kill more people every year than guns.(so also with hammers, and drunks. And no one wants to make those illegal. Hell, look at all the people addicted to opioids, getting them that way is one of the biggest businesses in the country! These same people, so afraid of their own shadows, are the TRUE fear mongers)
What I carry and how isn't anyone's business but my own. Don't EVER think of telling me what I can or can't carry, what you think I should carry, or tell me to be normal. You'll find out that it isn't the knife that you fight, but the man holding it, because I am not afraid to tell you that I AM THE WEAPON. Besides which, if it comes to it, I am far more likely to shoot someone than to pull a knife. Just being honest. And if you don't like that, go watch the View, or TMZ, or Ellen, with all the OTHER so called NORMAL people.
Can you tell I've had it up to HERE with the society of babies that has been created?

To the moderators: I know that last post probably should be in W&C, and could even get me a suspension. If that be the case, so be it.
I was just being honest. I hate it when someone tells someone else, or me, that they should be more normal. It just irks me...

You responded to a troll post. The way to treat a troll is to just ignore him. If you respond to him, you just give him the attention he is crying for.
I'm going to let this stand as is. Further posters, please ignore the troll.

Check out Dozier if that's in your price range -- my little stage K1 would fit (but I ain't giving it up 
). Carroll's Gun Shop in Wharton, Texas, is where I got mine. Also check out Ragweed Forge, lots of possibilities there.

Op, I've been carrying my Benchmade Altitude since I got it. From what I've read it seems to meet all of your criteria and it (barely) falls within your budget but in my opinion is totally worth it. I carry mine on and off duty and have used it for all kinds of cutting from evidence tape to zip ties. I have it mounted on a dynamis alliance zero clip and keep it clipped to the inside my bdu pocket pocket when I'm working, and on my 5 o'clock when I'm off. They're completely different knives but the Altitude brought me to sell my Adamas 375 and I'm contemplating selling my ZT 0804cf. I haven't carried it since getting the Altitude.

White river backpacker or caper. White river knucklehead. Esee izula.
Were I your position, OP, I would not worry about the sheath so much, but rather the knife itself. Find something in the size and blade profile that YOU like best(that won't get you in trouble), and have a horizontal carry sheath made for it later.
In MANY cultures around the world(ours is an exception), the locals consider the knife itself to be just a tool, expendable even. They'll sharpen them to almost nothing, then replace them. They put their real attention to the sheaths, decorating them to be personalized statements about the owner. Knives wear out, get lost, or stolen, and need to be replaced. Everyone has a machete in Central America. Not everyone has bead-work, tassels, conchos, or stampings on the leather. Check out the sheaths that house some kukris in Nepal, if ya have a hankering for some decoration!
