Hey Lar,
Becker CU7 is the best deal going. At only $45, it's an amazing value. The CU7 was tested against the Zambezi and some others costing up to $350 and beat them all in the G&A test.
The black coating is armor tuff, the point refuses to break in extreme conditions, The CU7 is heavy enough to chop, and well balanced enough to skin with. It has a hammer extension behind the handle, which is the most comfortable grip of all my knives. I think you'll be happy with one.
