Well... I really like my Spyderco Plain Edge Carbon Fiber and it's easily the prettiest knife I own.
Al Mar SERE 2K and Spyderco Police G-10 are equally well-made but nothing beats the 3-D effect of the carbon fiber.
But it's so pretty that it's collecting dust.... Too pretty to use.

i think that the MT LCC is prett, but i dont think that it is the knife for you.
I would try to find a Benchmade 940 blue, with a plain edge and uncoated blade.
You could also do something like buy a spyderco ATR and have it anodized so it has a colorful non threatening look.
The new kershaw Bump looks pretty nice too (check the what's new forum)

I don't know about the Lum Chinese but the Rainbow Leek has a very strong lock.
It's a frame-lock (like the Sebenza and the Mnandi) instead of a liner-lock and I can't imagine how you could get it to fail.
As for how grippy it is...
While it is all steel, it is very secure in the hand.
The reason is because the handle is so slim and flat you can really get your hand around it (but it's long enough for all of your fingers), and when the blade is open, the flipper creates a guard to prevent your hand from sliding on to the blade.
You owe it to yourself to handle one.
Good luck,
Allen.
