I go through phases of carrying opinels. They are really cheap should have put those as my cheapest knives in use.
 
I’m gonna be the same as @Ironbut
SAK electrician in my right pocket everyday and a large CRK in my left. The most expensive CRK carry I have is a micarta Damascus double lugs
 
My cheapest SAK compact picked it up on a whim been with me everyday.
Most expensive depends on the day ZT 0470,ZT 0562CF, Massdrop Mordax, Begg steelcraft mini glimpse.
 
Least expensive I carry these days is my old Manix2 with saber grind. I got it back when they were less than $100 new. Great knife.

And my most expensive I carry now is a Large Sebenza21. Some people don’t care for CRK’s but they are superbly built and rock solid performers.
 
Lately been carrying the CRKT Exec in my shirt pocket since I work in an office environment and it looks discreet. But my primary is either a Hinderer Jurassic or CRK large Inkosi in my pants.
 
Cheapest I routinely carry could be a Delica, either the wharncliffe in HAP40 or the Cruwear.

Most expensive is a ZT0460ti
 
Everyday I have a Victorinox Explorer ($55ish) in my left front pocket and a Craftsman Folding Lockback Utility Knife ($4 a decade ago, currently $11 on Amazon) in my watch pocket.

The utility knife is mostly used as a pencil sharpener, but it also opens the occasional box or package. I mostly carry the SAK for the can opener, scissors, and screwdrivers, but the blade occasionally gets used for food prep.
 
Cheapest: Milwaukee fastback utility knife. Or Buck Bantam if utility knives don't count. Both about $15 each. Both very handy.


Most expensive: Hinderer xm-18 3.5 fatty wharncliffe, with a REK regrind. $475 for the knife before the regrind. Love it as well.
 
Off the top of my head, of knives I have actually carried, my cheapest would probably be my CS Mini Tuff Lite, and most expensive, would either be my Emerson Custom Vindicator, or my Custom Olamic Rainmaker.
 
Cheapest I carry is a Spyderco Resilience that I got for $25 on clearance at Walmart. It's my on the job beater.

What sees the most normal cutting duty is a large CRK Inkosi. I didnt know if I would be comfortable actually using a $450 knife, but it's so solid and performs so well.
 
Out of the knives I currently carry, the cheapest is a black tanto Kershaw Blur in BDZ-1 at about $35 and the most expensive is an 0460 ZT - about $164.
 
Least Expensive: Rough Rider Canoe (or maybe its a Barlow?) (Under $12 at any rate)

Most Expensive: SK Blades "The Gentleman" Buck 110 (Around $90)
 
Cold Steel Grik 99% of the time

Cold Steel AD15

The Grik is an awesome inexpensive little knife.
I carry mine a good bit and it is one of the few knives that I bought a backup one.

It does need the edge thinned a bit but once that is done it is a mean slicer.
I like the goofy plastic clip a lot too.
