Benchmade: Mini-Griptilians, maybe a red box Pika or Vex.
Buck/Strider: 889
Kershaw: JYD I or II or Cyclones.
Spyderco: Delica, Endura, or one of the Byrds.
If you can find one for around $50, an Ontario RAT1's not bad, either.
Got my wife the Native from WM for $40 - spyderco with S30V. Holds and takes a great edge. I don't think there is a better value out there than this.
I got me a BM Mini-Grip. Cost about $20 more. Like the axis lock and ergonomics better than the Native but the 154 does not hold the edge like the S30V.
Both nice knives but for $40 bucks I would have to say Native at WM.
