Get a Kissing Crane Sodbuster. SMKW offers them with carbon blades and your choice of either a plastic handle or a wood handle. The synthetic is $6.99 and the wood is $10.99. They have brass liners so there is no swelling issue. They are slipjoints, but the backsprings are very strong. Plus, they're utilitarian and sheeple friendly.
When I get these $7 dollar sodubsters from SMKW I do a quick rework (20 minutes) and you'd never know this was a cheap knife.
I scotchbrite blade and handle (removes hokey blade image) then Danish Oil the handle. DAMN. They actually use pretty walnut on the handles.
Great suggestion!
