Well ive been looking at buying a good tactical knife i looked at the SOG Seal elite, i dont like the pup its too small for my taste. lol also the Tom Brown Tracker knife.
just needing some advice on a good quality knife. Thanks all, Wyatt |

For $150-$200, I'd get either a Fallkniven S1 or A1. Both are very heavy duty knives and are stainless steel, so rust won't be an issue.
A lot of carbon steel knives are great, but will require maintenance; which may not be ideal in a long term SHTF situation. The Tom Brown Tracker is mostly a gimmick knife IMO and serrations like on the SOG are difficult to resharpen. |

Fallknivens are nice, but their tacticool knives have cheapy feeling plastic handles.
For your budget you could get a custom quality knife from Bark River, made from tool steel with a sweet convex grind: http://www.gpknives.com/bark-river-bravo-1.html Here's one of my Bravo 1s (I have two, because I wear one of them daily and want a spare in case of loss, theft, etc.): 
If you want a more eviler looking coated black blade, look to ESEE knives. I highly recommend the ESEE-3, ESEE-6, or Laserstrike. The LS comes with a perfect kydex sheath, and is quite a deal at $110: http://www.gpknives.com/eseelaserstrikecanvasmicarta.html Here's my ESEE LS, I've owned every ESEE model and this is by far the best one for general use:
