I'm looking for a new decent bushcraft knife, I want a medium sized fixed blade for me to carry on day hikes and camping. My spending budget is under 100 dollars. The knife I'm looking at right now is the Bark River Fox Hunter now that I've found it for only around 100 bucks

There is a review at cutlery science for the Fallkniven S1 (might be slightly larger than your looking for though);

The Laminated VG10 has good toughness, edge and anti corrosion characteristics.

There are lots of excellent knifes around. I like the Helle Odel knife as well (nice traditional bushcraft look). Doug Ritters RSK Mk3 is excellent also but slightly more expensive than the $100 you've specified.
