[Hightide]

I would say:

Becker Necker BK11
Any of a number of SAK's, I personally like the Huntsman
Mora 2000, 510 and 511
Buck 110
Gerber EZ-Out (carried one for years with no problems, not a hard use knife though)

+1 for the EZ-Out, carried one for years and still love using (beating) it. But, I hear you on the "not a hard use knife". I managed to snap off the tip on an electric fence.

Kabar Large Dozier
