I like to think that the knives in my carry rotation are among some of the best in that price range. They are:
-Microtech mini socom elite -great knife for its size
-Benchmade 806 - my favorite benchmade
-Emerson cqc-12 -mines been through the ringer and still going
-Spyderco ti-atr -recently got and not used too much yet, but a very nice knife.
I also carry an sng, but it cost more of course. To find one, or a sebenza, for under $300.00 would be a great thing.
