What fixed blade for Marine Infantryman heading to Afghanistan under $200

Ok all, thanks. I went ahead and bought the esee 3-mil and a leatherman blast, which is the multi tool I currently carry. Very proud of my son. He could have done anything in this world after high school and chose Marines Infantry, against the wishes of my wife. However, she sure does like showing him off when he was home in his dress blues.
 
Good choice. Larger fixed blades tend to get in the way mounting/dismounting vehicles and everyone deploying should have a Leatherman. Please pass on to your son my thanks for his service.
 
Good choice...they have the best lifetime warranty you can get".....here's An esee 4 test from noss. I'll tell u what the steel and ht are superb. I don't have the rowen 1,but I have the tak from Ontario and its a hellof knife. Watch the vid, this knife is a pit bull on steroids...I couldn't believe how much it stood up to.... Watch some of his vids, they'll blow yer mind. I've been watching him since he first started.".
