In my continuing quest for "the" knife, here are my recommendations:
Spyderco
Emerson
Benchmade
These are well-made hard-use knives. They are not cheapie flea market finds, but they also aren't high-end customs.
I will echo Rhino's choice of the Spyderco Endura (or Delica). I purchased (from KokomoDave, actually) the waved version, and I absolutely love it. Its nice and flat, rides well in the pocket, has a thick blade, and quickly comes into action.
