  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

So I have some $

If you're looking for a short fixed blade, I'd say an ESEE Izula or Izula 2 Awesome knife.
 
If you like the Izula but want something closer to your price range look at the Ka-Bar Bk 11 or 14/24
 
Take a look at ScrapYard knives, cheap and Indestructable. If the sheath is the deal breaker, then here is the bad news, they don't come with a sheath.

The good news is that many Leather workers and Kydex benders here on the forum can make one to your desired specs. The Kydex is generally cheaper at prices from $30-$100ish,
with leather running $50-hundreds depending on options or custom ideas.

Cheers and Beers
 
Small survival knife? Beckers are within your price range. A BK11 is about $35, $65 if you want it with scales, although they do feel pretty darn good with a simple paracord wrapped handle. That gives you some left over too for saving for another knife or for an aftermarket sheath or something.
 
I'd say try out the Schrade schf14 or schf13 they seem like pretty decent mid-sized survival knives and for only $30.

no, schrade went out of business a long time ago, the garbage and knockoff knives taylor cutlery puts the name on are not worth considering.
 
I've got the Izula with the kit and its a great knife, just love it.
 
Between those two, and since you said "another SAK", I'd go for the Delica, great knife, don't carry mine anymore cause I have others I like more but if it was all I had I wouldn't at all feel I wasn't properly equipped for EDC.
