I carry a Benchmade Axis Auto for everyday cutting chores and a Spyderco Endura for the nasty stuff like cutting sandbags which I've been doing a lot of lately. I also have a Ken Onion Kershaw Blackout (spring assist) that I carried in the past but it's on my web gear now. I would recommend the Spyderco or the Kershaw. They're both in your price range and they're both great blades.
