re: Recomend a good pocket knife

Kershaw is hard to beat for 30 dollar range. Not a fan of spring assist due to the small thin spings that tend to break. A good knife will flip open like a sping assist anyhow. Remember it's a pocket knife. An EDC. Something that will get abused on small daily tasks and possibly lost.
A bigger fix blade knife is where its at for the heavy duty jobs.
