Please help Find My Next Fixed Blade in cpm3v

Looking for 4to5” blade
Flat spine section for striking fire steel
CPM3v or suggest similar?
Around 4” handle
Preferably bolted scales
G10 or micarta
Including sheath
Preferably kydex
Preferably able to mount scout style
Preferably USA made
Sub $250
 
bradford guardian 5 - (it's only $10 more than the guardian 4 roughly, thus a great value)... the 6 is only a tiny bit more and is the best 'value' per inch of blade
 
It does not completely fit your criteria, but the Freeman
5.0" MODEL 451 CPM 3V FIELD KNIFE
might be worth a look.
 
Yep, Bradford Guardian 4 offers many different options in steel and handle materials.

Bark River is another option but I don't think any of the scales are removable offhand.
 
Another vote for the Bradford Guardian. I have the G6, chef knife, and steak knife! Everything I have seen from Bradford is top nothch!

Cold Steel Master Hunter could be an option. Not sure about scout style carry, and it has Krayton instead of G10/micarta handle, but fits your other criteria.

Thanks didn’t know cs had 3v
Read some bad reviews that seems to point to bad heat treat and quality

Was going to suggest the Master Hunter, too. Don't know about bad heat treats - it seems to hold up pretty well:

Will it be the best CPM-3V blade ever? No. But, it's half the price of most 3V blade you'll see - hard to beat that.
