Best fixed blade camping/survival knife

What brands and models of fixed blade camping/survival knives do you guys recommend. I understand they can get really pricey so less than $200 would be ideal.
TIA

I personally like the SOG seal pup. damn nice knife that looks good and with a number of different cutting surfaces. it is functional as hell. Sharpest knife I have ever seen when new.
the only negative I find is that the handles are made of a slightly harder material than I would like and can make your hands sore if you are doing something like a lot of chopping with them. check out the Walmart website to see the best prices.
if you want something larger, get the SOG Seal Team Elite...same stellar knife, but an inch or so larger. I have one of each!

There's no need to spend that much for a quality survival knife. I'm a survival instructor and I carry a $30 knife. It's a Schrade SCHF52 Frontier. You just need a full tang, no serrations knife and you're in business. A thick blade is good if you're looking to split wood with it. I'll admit I have several survival knives but I use this one the most.
Also, if you're looking for fire craft items, look at the EricX Light 1/2 inch by 6inch ferrocium metal match. I own four. They are excellent fire starters.

I carry a custom LTWK full tang knife on every trip. It's designed in the same style as their GNS Saber model. They make extremely high quality knives designed for people who spend a lot of time in the woods. Check them out.

OP do you have a really nice folding every day carry type of knife? Folding knives have come a long way, and really that should be your first buy imo. Personally I'd buy a $150 folder/ carry knife and then as said buy a $25-50 fixed. Fixed are a pita to carry around compared to a really nice folding knife and this is from a guy that was pro fixed up until I got a nice benchmade folder.
So what I'm saying is that if you have $200 I'd spend the majority on a nice folder and then get a cheaper fixed.

Look no further than the Gerber LMF II Survival Knife
This thing is hefty and that grip is amazing. $75.

Ontario rat 3 is a good affordable choice

I've got a full size Kabar I usually strap to my boot when I'm in the woods. It's such a good knife. I picked up a Gerber Strongarm on sale at academy on an impulse a few months ago. It's got pretty good reviews online and honestly has become one of my favorite knives. I carry it on me when I'm in the kayak.
Ive got a little Esee Izula. It's a fun little knife and it carries well at the small of your back on a horizontal mount.

Condor knives. This is an actual survival/whittling knife.

Benchmade Nimravus or SOG Pup are going to be 2 great choices here. Gerber LMF II is nice knife, too.

Ka-Bar USMC

Ka-bar, OKC classics, some from Cold Steel, you seriously do not need to spend much because the best knives of this type are simple and made from plain high-carbon steel. You want a knife that can handle rough work, sharpen easily, have some weight to chop with, and with as few parts in the handle as possible.

This is made out a solid piece of bearing steel and cheap enough that you can mess around with it to suit your needs. I'd drill a few holes in the handle to paracord wrap it. Keep it wiped with a little oil.
