Please tell me the model and brand name you are recommending.
A Buck 110 Folding Hunter would be a great choice. Only it lacks a pocket clip. Another great knife would be an older Case Sharkstooth model. (Very similar to the Buck 110.)

it isn't very often that a product can create a new category; but the SEAL Revolver does just that. SOG has pioneered a fixed blade with a new twist…actually a complete revolution. The SEAL Revolver's secret is simply twice the capability for the same size and weight. Utilizing patented technology developed by Robbie Roberson, you can depress the locking lever and rotate the blade to transform the knife into a saw. It's so easy, so cool, that you'll wonder why it wasn't done a long time ago.
The SEAL Revolver comes standard with a new look in blade shape that is not only functional, but distinctive. A survival saw serves as a backup in the handle. The blade features a forward thumb rest for increased dexterity and downward pressure. A glass-reinforced Zytel handle hides the stainless steel liners which ensure strength and quality. And as always, SOG edges are razor sharp.
Whether you're camping or crusading, why not pack twice the capability with the SEAL Revolver? It just might transform your idea of what a knife should be.

I'm fond of Buck knives personally. They deliver good quality blades at reasonable prices.

I about 5 years ago bought a Smith and Wesson SWAT for canoe/camping trip in Upper MN/Canada. I was there for a week and a half and used it for everything possible. Preparing meals, basic need to cut this or that. It lasted that and I still carry it daily. Keeps a good edge when after sharpening…It is an all-around good knife.

Buck 110 - has everything but a pocket clip. I just got one at Wally World for about $27.00. It is a real Buck. Has a nylon sheath which is better for camping than a leather sheath. The sheath will protect the knife better and it is handier than a pocket clip. You can mount the nylon sheath horizontally or vertically. You can wear it on your belt or on your pack strap.
It is not a tactical knife. It takes 2 hands to open and 2 to close. But it locks up tight and can handle rough use. It is sharp out of the box. With a little effort, you can make it razor sharp.

Not going to give models too many good ones but brands:
Benchmade
Spyderco
Kershaw
Gerber
Cold Steel
Buck
check out their websites and you'll see what i mean
I usually am happy with a blade 3-3 3/4" long in a drop point or a clip point

CRKT (columbia River Knife and Tool) Makes some high quality knives for a reasonable price. They offer a large selection of folding knives as well. I would recommend the CRKT Lake 111, it comes at avery affordable price of around 40.00. It also has a good Rockwell rating, this is a rating given to knives that states how well the blade will hold an edge and the quality of the steel. This particular knife has a 58-59 rating most have around a 56. The knife also has a safety feature that will keep the knife secured in the Pocket and turns it into a fixed blade when open. I personally carry the CRKT M-21 and the knife works extremely well. I would recommend looking at A.G.Russell.com to view a complete and large selection of knives.
