Best Fixed Blade 4 inches or less. >$150

Under 4 inches for the fixed blade length?

BUCK Ranger Skinner Knife #113. I love this knife and it is my every single day carry knife. I have the #113 standard version but you can customize this one too.

Buck PakLite Skinner if you want something a wee bit more modern. It comes in black, metal/silver and in orange. I have two of these knives and I like them even if they are not a 'traditional design'.

Original HEST fixed blade by Rowen. Unbeatable as an all-around. Rowen heat-treat 1095.

Gryphon M-10, a Terzuola design, VG-10, with an outstanding Boltaron sheath. My best fixed blade buy of 2014 and '15..

Exactly. If it's for woods use the Falcon is the way to go. If it's more of a carry issue then a TOPS wolf pup XL would do better. Or shadow tech back up or back up XL. There are a lot of choices out there and a search at knife center will fix it real quick for them.

Sorry guys, it's actually just going to be an edc blade. I'm moving to new York and basically every folding knife is illegal (gravity knives) except slip joints I think but I'm not a fan of those or nonlocking blades. But weirdly enough fixed blades are legal
 
Here's a different option: Benchmade Steep Canyon

3.5" S30V blade, comfy handle and a nice sheath for under $100.

I don't know if they are still available but Survive! knives had GSO3.5 2nds for around $150

In that case, call me boring, but I'd get a BK24 for the great D2 steel, a nice kydex sheath and some of the gorgeous G10 scales from TKC and only be in it way under your budget with a nice knife to show for it.

The Becker BK16 is 4.375", a third of an inch isn't much to reprofile, and you would end up with a Great user with micarta scales for around $100-110 or $70 for just the knife.

The BK-16 is a sweet knife and should be nicknamed the Sweet 16.

Ooops, missed the EDC part.

In which case, while the BK-16 is sweet, and it could be EDC'd in some locales and circumstances, please allow me to echo the recommendation of a BK-24 (D2) with a pimp job of sheath(s) and handles.

What are you looking to use it for? Personally I would be jumping across to the knife makers section here where you could get something really interesting for that money.

Your question is very vague. Best for what kind of use?

Bark River makes good knives. The Cold Steel Master Hunter in 3V would be a great choice. The BK16 is nice, too.
 
Have considered the Enzo Trapper? It can be had in a variety of steels from O1, D2, N690Co, and others. They can be purchased as a ready to use knife or in a kit. The Enzo kits are easy to put together with just gluing the scales and tightening the Corby rivets then sanding the preshaped handle.
