Hit the nearest Academy and pick up a cheap imported Kershaw. Yes, you'll be "lowering your standards" but you just might find it works ok. Then give it away or send it home. I'd suggest a Clash. They really are nice for the price.
Best of luck no matter what you choose.
Lol, do I really come off that snobby?

Of course a kershaw would be fine. I would actually feel GREAT being able to carry something as good as a kershaw as for my "two day-then throw away" knife. Honestly though I'll probably just end up getting an SAK at a sporting goods place or something. Easier to find.
