My girlfriend just got a new job, so she's planning on getting me a Wal-Mart knife. I have a Gerber guardian which is my current EDC. Drop point preferably.
 
Less than $50 I thought about the buck 110 but I prefer a knife with a thumb stud. And you aren't the actual DB. Cooper are you?
 
Look at Lazy Lizard Gear's range of Chinese folders, modified to your wishes, pivot mod plus he quality controls every knife. Great guy to deal with.
 
Lazy lizard has some good stuff. I especially like the Ganzo G720. Wondering how big it actually is.

Negative. I wish, though! Can't go wrong with a Rat2, or a Candiru, or any of the american made $50< Kershaws. I personally recommend the 1790 Turbulence. You can usually find them around $40.
 
would probably need to do mail order, but check out Byrd knives. At your price point I think they are a great deal. They are made by spyderco.

Not sure if that is the style you're looking for.
 
Cold Steel Finn Wolf. Should be stupid tough and easy to sharpen. Lightweight, decent steel and not too intimidating to use around members of the general public.
 
You should be able to pick up some of the AUS8 Cold Steel folders on clearance for about $50, since they're moving to BD1 and XHP on a lot of their range.

Just checking and found most of the Voyager range, including some of the XLs, for under $50 (although postage is extra).
 
Check out a Spyderco Persistence or Tenacious. For a little over $50, you could get a Spyderco Cat (leaf shaped blade, 440C).

I agree, go with any Spyderco you can afford. You won't be disappointed, they are the best in the business.
 
Like someone posted earlier a cold steel in aus-8, I just bought a holdout 3 for less than $30.00 shipped it is a well made knife with a full flat grind.
 
Spyderco Resilience - 4.25 inch blade, under $50. I just got mine in the mail today, it's as sharp as anything I've seen. G10 slabs, 5.4 oz, full-flat ground 8Cr13MoV stainless blade with a tip-to-handle cutting edge.
