Stick tang design IIRC. Not so good for hard use (more of a display knife). Other will shortly weigh in on the maker, no doubt. Do a search here and read up.

A bit over your budget perhaps, but I'll mention it anyway since I've long wanted one:

TC I did back off on the order for now after watching a video online. The first run on the v-44's had a thickness of 1/4" and the new run is .187", not terrible but seems a little light.

David Mary here on BF will make you what you want. You can bet it will be a performer.

I don't own one but the SOG Bowie comes to mind.

Agreed ! Very pretty , but not a good design for a user .

 

[DocJD]

You can wrap a Bowie handle , to improve performance .

These are Cold Steel :

 

[DocJD]

My recommendation is the Cold Steel CPM 3V Trailmaster Bowie .

Very tough steel , great ergonomic handle non-slip , and pretty much a do-everthing design .

Shop around , current can be found for ~$233 shipped . A good bargain !
