Knife for a bug out bag

I'm going to second what a lot of the other posters are saying. Any knife you choose should NEVER be used as a pry bar when your life may depend on it. Do I think a Ratmandu could withstand gross abuse? Yes I do, I've got one coming and will likely be going in my bag. After you have a sheath made it is only slightly over your $200 budget with all shipping included. And you get the sheath of your choice.
 
If you just want a bombproof type of knife, ESEE5 or BK2, but get a mini prybar, too. I have no doubt the knives could be used as such, but why use them as a prybar when you can get a prybar less than $10.
 
As soon as I saw the title of the thread, my first thought was Swamp Rat RMD. That is exactly what I have.
