Best fighter under $200?

I've got a TOPs Anaconda and a Sea Wolfe, although the Sea Wolfe is the only one under $200. The Sea Wolfe is a great little fighter, easily concealable with a slim profile. I especially like the sheath for the Sea Wolfe with its clip that even works well inside my boot. The Anaconda is a different story. It is not even close to being concealable and forget quick deployment. It is more of a survival knife/machete/beat someone over the head type of knife. But is well made. I especially like the handle profile, for such a large knife and as small as I am, it fits my hand with perfect balance. But alas, is definitely over $200. Back to the Sea Wolfe, I just picked up a Snody Explorer and think that the Sea Wolfe just doesn't quite match up, but once again the Snody too is well over $200.

The TOPS knives look interesting to me as well. Anyone have any experience with this brand?

Yep. I have a Magnum CQT747 folder, and a fixed blade Stormrider. The Magnum comes as close to a fixed blade as I could imagine in a folder. The lock up is amazingly solid. This knife is tough.

The Stormrider is a great knife too. The blade is 1/4" thick, so it is not meant for filetting fish, but it is a solid, dependable tool.
 
I think I just got the best fighter possible for $60, or anywhere close to that price. It is a Greco Whisper, which was on sale for $50 plus $10 in shipping. I am extremely happy with it. For one thing, the handle design is much better than similar factory knives I have seen. It has an extra finger groove and a sloping double guard, which allows one to place one's thumb on top for a really secure grip. I'll take this knife any day over a Camillus CQB or Gerber Yari.
