Top mid-range Kershaws?

[Flashpoint]

For heavier use I'd go with the JYD. For medium to light duty (not that it can't handle some heavy, but I wouldn't hard use it a lot) the RAM.

JYD series, RAM and also the Rake, all great knives.

I love the RAM and the Groove. They see the most pocket time for me. The Avalanch is also a great knife within your price range
