I highly recommend the Kershaw Skyline
Amazon.com: Kershaw Skyline Knife with Textured Black G-10 Handle: Sports & Outdoors
for the price, its a great little knife. I have a few of them. Compared to my spyderco paramilitary 2 it feels like a toy. however, its sharp, light, moderately safe lock, fun to flick (maybe too fun), and cheap enough that if its lost no big deal
You used to be able to get them at wahlmart but im not sure if they are still available there
im guessing they want fixed blade or locking because they are going to be doing bushcraft stuff....like fire sticks that requiring some hammering? You might want to find out because a heavier-duty knife might be a better option
