Considering a helle or bill Moran spyderco, but may be able to get a handmade knife in that range of $150 or below.
Any suggestions?

I had several suggestions after reading this before boarding a plane last night...

But!: A really good friend and knife aficionado sent me a text that Amazon has the Cold Steel Mini Lloyd Pendelton Hunter in DLC coated CPM 3V for $65... These are $120 MSRP and normally street priced at $95 on the big knife websites. I wholeheartedly suggest you grab one and bank the other $85 to apply to a custom lifetime knife by getting on the books of a custom maker you REALLY want.

I ordered 3 for Christmas presents...deal of the season: Amazon Pendelton Mini

Forgetting the dink shooting "expert" Canuck, this bears looking at again...

Hopefully we're cleared to taxi soon. I'm tired.
