This is what I am looking for in my new camp knife
5-6 inches in blade length with at least 4 3/4 inch cutting edge if it has a choil
micarta scales on a full tang
a price not to exeed 150 bucks
drop point blade design
steel doesnt really matter but I value ease of sharpening over edge retention
USA made

So far the best I have located is a Swamp Rat RMD but when I add a sheath it comes out of the budget. I am trying to find a slightly bigger knife to pair with my trusted ESEE 3 and my Svord Kiwi Machete.

I am open to any and all suggestions you guys might have.

Any Becker or ESEE will work well and have the features you're looking for (I'm not too fond of the overly thick BK2 or ESEE 5, but you might like them). Maybe a BK7 (you can buy micarta handle slabs) or an ESEE 6.
 
How about the SYKCO 511, very similar to the RMD but at only $89 + sheath

You described the RMD. Spend a couple of bucks and get a azwelke sheath made for it, and you're done.
 
I would really like to stay away from the Beckers if I can I was not at all impressed with the BK16 I had, I also looked at the Scrapyard models but I just dont to much care for the res-c handles.
