I've got shoeboxes of knives around here, all different types. Large & small folders, trappers, Barlow's, etc...nowadays most go for the tacticool knives...
I have gone back to the type of knife I used to carry when I worked in the coal mines years ago, used to be called electrician's knives. Mostly due to having the screwdriver/prybar blade as I can abuse it for a lot of stuff you'll wreck a cutting blade with. About $17 bucks on Amazon, if it breaks it's cheap and easily replaced.
Before reverting back to this as my carry blade I was carrying a Spyderco Manix 2 Knife Dark Blue G-10 or a Cold Steel Recon 1, both are fantastic knives, expensive knives, but when someone asks to "borrow" your knife you are hesitant to hand it over because it's usually gonna be abused...the old electrician's knife can be handed over without worry. It stays absolutely razor sharp and I probably use it a dozen times a day for various tasks.

My everyday carry knife for the last 7 years has been a Pro-Tech Magic Whiskers auto-knife. It has a hidden release and I don't have to be concerned about it opening in my pocket. I think Pro-Tech's are exceptional quality.
My camping knives are KA-BAR's. I know you said folding, but I added them anyway.
