My philosophy is buy quality once and take care of it until it dies.
I have an old CRKT liner lock knife that I've carried on and off for over 12 years easily. It's not the most ideal knife, but it was cheap as fuck (cost me under $25) and more than gets the job done. Now that I find myself using a knife on a more frequent basis, I wanted something more substantial as far as blade size/length/thickness are concerned, as well as the handle size.
If you are prone to misplace or lose things, save yourself the headache and just buy something to get you by. I'd personally prefer a CRKT over most Kershaw and most SOG knives any day. That's based on my own experiences with those 3 brands and after having a wide variety of products from each brand in my hands.
If you do go the cheap route, avoid the assisted knives at all cost; they are just not worth it. If you get the chance to play with a few, grab the blade and try and wiggle them around. You should see a huge difference between models, and brands right away. I personally wouldn't purchase a knife that has a ton of play in it; but that's just me.

CRKT Drifter. I can keep it sharp enough and they are cheap enough that I dont care if I do something stupid with it.

Been carrying this for the last few years. I have the serrated drop point. Best carry knife I've found so far.

Tip: By the tool to tighten the clip, and add some threadlock to the screws. Goes for any knife.

My daily is the regular sized version of that. It takes a beating.

I have been using the same 4” cold steel recon spear point for years. It’s on the larger side, but I think it fits in the pocket well. Very good steel that holds an edge well. Simple and sturdy build with good grip. I use it heavily every day.

Ontario RAT or RAT II folder is a good cheap option if you don’t want to spend Benchmade prices. Liner lock is not my fave though.
