The Sp-Plus line form Ontario is probably the low-end, but a good value.
The Tralimaster is probaly middle end, but the hype may turn you off, or you may dislike the style.
The Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works Bowie, would be a no-nonsense tool, very tough, you can get any number of styles, or a custom variation for a resonable price. And Ted is a great guy to talk too. As well, they have a winter sale coming up.
