This might be the new champ of the $100 hunting/fishing knives:

CRKT has been pretty innovative and probably most diverse of the inexpensive, quality line of knives.

Mora knives are great for the price
or look at battle horse knives they have monthly specials in your price range

I can't argue and have a few mora knives, for the cost, they are an incredible value.
Here are a couple of their latest offerings (ShotShow 2015), that are a bit beefier, and I'm guessing a bit more pricy:
But this thread is about the best bang for your $100's for an all around (fixed blade) hunting, fishing, camping, ~survivalish knife. Maybe the Mora stacks up for value, I'm leaning toward yes, but if you had $100 to spend, what's your best option for a 'do it all' outdoors knife?

Outdoor edge has some nice knives.
There's a lot of orange ones on ebay right now. I just can't find an orange one with a carbon steel blade.
They're all stainless.

When All Else Fails.
Folding Gerber Gator with gut hook.
Well under 100 bucks and works like a charm on Bambi.
I think I've had to sharpen the blade three or four times in 8 years and the original grind is on the gut hook. Textured rubbery (Gator) grip that is still grippy when soaked in blood.
Roughly 30 deer have been field dressed with it and three have been fully skinned and processed. Not bad for 35 bucks or so.
Not a fan of the newfangled B.G. orange knives and can't speak to their quality.

Mora is also getting into the blade blank business in case you want to roll your own ...

I use a havalon and love it. The blades are scary sharp.

ESEE 3 or 4, smaller models are good too. Very sharp, thick and sturdy, and nice sheaths
I did check those out, very nice, but pretty much the same cost as the same blade, but with a handle. I think I'll stick with the full knife + sheath (even though the sheath needs improvement).
There are a few knife like this out there now, this one looks about the best of the bunch and most 'real' knife like. Plus if legendary hunter Shockey is endorsing it, that definitely gives it the edge... (pun intended :-)
I've heard a lot about ESEE, and I own a couple myself, and a few models do fall within the $100 and under intent of this thread. There are now a few other makers that have gotten big enough to offer equally excellent value knives as ESEE. This is a very good thing, competition in general is healthy. It's also the American way. You build a better mousetrap, you deserve to be on top (until something better comes along.
