Checkout ESSE knives at knifestrategies.com. I would recommend an ESSE 3 or 4.

Becker makes a great knife for the money. a lot of bang for the buck. my only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the poly handles, but you can upgrade them to micarta if they aren't to your liking also.

esee is also a great choice and check out tops knives too.

After having owned a SOG seal pup elite, I wouldn't recommend getting one.

I am however the happy owner of a Becker BK9, but it's a little large for a bushcrafting knife.

ESSE knives are out of my price range.

Check out ontario-knife-store.com. I have a couple of the Rat Knives and for the money there pretty good knives and will fall within your price range.

I would definitely take Becker over Ontario. Just based on customer service and quality

The two Ontario blades I have I bought used and I have never dealt with there customer service. But if they have issues standing behind there product then I would steer clear of them.

If you are dead set on one or the other I would go with the becker for what your talking about doing. they are both great knives but the sog as much as i hate the word is more of a tactical/duty knife than a woods/camp utility blade
