I've got one of the Camillus Boot knives and it's pretty nice for a boot knife. I wouldn't reccomend the one with the Kydex sheath though, it's pretty sad. The leather one seems quite a bit better, and it's cheaper.
I like the cold steel boot knives myself. Nice with the tanto blade and the serrations. Just my $0.02.

Sharpedge,
Don't dismiss handmade/customs outright. Some of them aren't that much more than the productions knives.
For 7" OAL, you have some choices for around $100 mark. There's Livesay, Running Dog, Raker, Hallberg and others.
BTW, what defines a "boot knife?" Is it the blade shape, or the sheath? I tend to think the design of the sheath and the knife can be any design I am comfortable with and relatively unobtrusive.

Yesterday I "traded-into" a "LIKE-NEW" Cold Steel Peace Keeper II from a local pawn-shop. (I got a GREAT deal), and this is one GREAT "boot-knife". It is RAZOR sharp, and has an excellent point, with a wide "dual-edged" Carbon V blade! And that excellent-shaped Kraton (rubber) handle...
With the "clip-on" sheath it came with, it can be used as a "boot-knife", or IWB carry.

IMO, one of the coolest production boot knives out on the market is the Gerber Applegate/Fairbairn. Comes with a great Kydex sheath as well.
Then there's the Gerber Guardian Backup. Good hunting!
