What you have described is called a camp knife. They are big, tough, and sharp. It is the basic form most ABS journeyman smiths use to take the test with. Your budget should be enough to get one from most smiths. Email me if you want more info.

one big vote for J Neilson. mountainhollow.net
or Mace Vitale laurelrockforge.com
they're both on the forums. i know there are a lot of good bladesmiths out there. but i have worked with these guys and seen they're knives do some good stuff. i can personally attest to their blades being top notch. and not to mention they're JS stamps do the same
