Welcome Vick!What do you plan to use the knife for?Carbon steel or stainless?
Two that come to mind are the Fallkniven F1 and the ESEE -3.The F1 is a sweet little blade, but I don't believe either of the factory sheath options would support horizontal carry, so you would need to accept vertical carry, get an aftermarket horizontal sheath, or look elsewhere entirely.The ESEE-3 sheath can be converted to horizontal carry with a piece of paracord, if you're so inclined. The ESEE-3 is also available in several different steels, as well as handle shapes and colors.While I agree with Steve that Bark River makes a quality product, for under $150 I think you'll find their options to be limited.
Bradford Guardian 3.
I think I’m going with the regular ESEE.
I've been eyeing the ESEE Izula... A little under 3", but is endlessly customizable.
