So I'm a little confused on the difference of survival and bushcraft knives,

I think the basic tools for a decision have been provided in this thread rather than specific knives for the most part. For modest priced knives, it is hard to go wrong with Kabar Beckers depending on what you intend to use it for. But the BK-7 and BK-9 come to mind for general purpose survival/woodscrafting/utility blades. I tend to prefer the BK-15 which is smaller and having a folding saw and pocket knife. But if you like the size, you can't go wrong with these choices.

Thank you.

I don't want to derail but feel I owe a brief explanation. Currently using both boat anchors (Esee) and feeler gauges (Mora) and want something in between. You know, something Bushcrafty ! ;)

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
 
Hard to beat the Becker tweeners..... BK-15, BK-16, and BK-17 depending on the style of knife you like. I like the ergo's of the factory handles quite a bit, but you can easily change them out. There are HUGE numbers of great knives available.... I never really developed a strong liking for the ESEE stuff, although I am a bit interested in the DC-6 that is coming out in the future (Dave Canterbury design). Bark River has similar knives as do just about everyone. It just depends on your price comfort level. As far as a derail goes, the OP actually asked about knives, not a discussion on survival-bushcrafting and so forth.
