For street work I carry either a TOPS Dawn Warrior in a reverse grip concealex sheath
or a Polkowski/Kasper Scorpion.
For field work I carried a 7" Brend Model 2 until recently, I have switched over these days to an 11" TOPS Steel Heart.
In your budget/cost range I would recommend
the SOG Pentagon. It is a very effective personal defense knife and ego aside it is very, very, functional.
Save the money and use it to attend either James Keatings ComTech or one of Bill Bagwells knife courses.
As an side I have attended several "big name" courses on defensive knife usage that were nothing but courses in good marketing compared to Keating and Bagwell.
