3-4" blade
Around $40, preferably less.
Decent steel, hopefully better than 440C
Thumb Stud/Flipper
Folding Knife

Which knife is the most "bang for the buck" that would fit these requirements?

The Kershaw Shallot fits everything assuming you mean thumb stud OR flipper. Low price, but an excellent knife for the price; and I still like mine after having gotten much more expensive models. The Skyline is also a great option.
 
Kershaw Leek. Love this knife and I know a site that they are sub 40 dollars on PM me if you want it. It is assisted opening thumbstud and flipper stainless 14C28n which is a nice steel. Stainless steel body as well.
 
Buck vantage avid large.

3.25" blade
$35-$40
13C26 steel (Paul Bos heat treat)
Flipper
Folding knife.

P.S. You also get a forever warranty from Buck and the knife is made in the USA.
 
Spyderco Tenacious--love this knife, its in my pocket right now
Kershaw Skyline--sad I traded this one off but will get another
Ka-Bar Dozier Folder
Ontario Rat1--Larger than the rest but a great hard use knife for the price

And welcome to the forums!!
 
I would get a knife that would be of the style that he likes. He is less likely to use a knife that isn't his liking. If he likes fixed blades get him a fixed blade or vise versa for if he is into folders.
 
+ Buck Vantage
Ontario RAT 1
Kershaw Skyline
BK-11 (fixed)
Spyderco Tenacious
in no particular order
 
if 440c is out of the question. tell him to spend just a tad more and get a spyderco delica (VG-10)
