Brigadier,
I thought this would be a more appropriate forum to answer your question.
I think $200 pretty much takes youout of the custom market. But, Cold Steel, and maybe SOG should have some knives that suit your needs for that price range. Go to the Cold Steel site and request the Special Projects catalog; in it you will find pretty good close-out prices and seconds.
I have no experience handling anybody's customs, but Mike Snody probably has a few close to your price range. They look like great knives for the price. He is not taking orders now, but you can find them at www.robertsoncustomcutlery.com and www.triplaughtdesign.com . Greg Lightfoot's fixed blades are reasonably priced too, www.lightfootknives.com .
I am no expert, but I hope this helps.
