Have you owned, or considered a Buck knife ? Their 110 model was a must have when I was in the USN.
Almost everyone bought one out of boot camp. An old friend, a Harley-riding USN Chief, gave me his old work knife. The blade tip was broken, the blade was loose, & it had hammer marks on the brass, from yrs. of use at sea. He told me to take it top the Buck factory & they'd fix it for free.
The Buck knife factory was (@ the time) in El Cajon, Ca. A few miles from San Diego, where I was living@ the time.
I dropped it off @ the factory, they took my phone # & said they'd call when it was finished. They rebuilt the knife, @ no charge.
I still have it, more as a keepsake as the friend that gave it to me passed a few yrs ago.
Top knife is my old 110, the engraved knife was the rebuilt one.

I have a pile of knives, but this is the one that's always in my pocket!
American made for a reasonable price, the blades are GREAT!
I love the "assist" when opening too, it's easy to do one handed.
