I was looking for around $50 Canadian Look at Ontario knives which are on sale at MidwayUSA. They are far and away the best knives in that price range, with some actually superior to their competitors that cost twice the price or more. I got a Gen ll SP53 bolo for $45 with free shipping (now it is even less, though maybe out of stock). That thing is EFFING INSANE for the price! Hell, I thought I got a deal paying $77 for it years ago, though it did come with a better sheath back then, so I had to get me another one. And the other stuff ain't no joke either, like the SP5 and SP10 which are at or under $40.

Check out Midway USA, as they have some great deals on both Ontario and Cold Steel.

The second knife wouldn't be bad if you just use it for cutting stuff. Chopping would be a no go.
But there is a ton of better stuff you could buy

The Kabar Swabbie might still be available on closeout for like $45. 12" of 1/4" 1095 crovan is an amazing deal, and it comes with black replacement handle scales if you don't go for zombie green.

What was the original Rambo knife? Meaning the one in the movie, assuming it wasn't just a prop aluminum knife.

The original 'First Blood' knife was made by Jimmy Lile. 100 were made, I think, in decent steels as fully usable, very well made knives. If you find one for sale it'll cost a fortune! The rights to the design were bought after Jimmy's death and the knives can still be bought: jimmylile.com/Other than that, there are numerous replicas, a few decent but most awful (wall-hangers only) as far as usable knives go. Several custom makers occasionally make similar knives too.
