Get step-dad any the ones above, then grab one of the $20 Doziers for yourself, maybe the drop point hunter, while you're at it. You'll be glad you did.
My choices every morning include few different Grips (Cabelas and Ritters), a Bradley Alias II and a Kabar Dozier Folding Hunter. As often as not, I grab the Dozier. Personally, I like how it carries, cuts and feels in the hand, and I've never found anything dainty or not-tough about it.
If you like yours, you can always buy step-dad one next time he loses a knife. Or just give him yours and order another. For the money, they can't be beat.
