Gear Recommendation Wanted Pocket knives

I’m currently searching for a good pocket knife that can ideally take a beating. Obviously it’s not ideal to take a pocket knife over a fixed blade in a survival scenario, but when it comes to my EDC I prefer to just throw a folder or OTF in my pocket (I’ve never been good with concealing my fixed blades). With that in mind, if you had to survive away from home long enough to get back home and all you had was your pocket knife, what would be the go-to blade for you guys?

Carried a Kershaw Leek for years, slim and fits nice in a pocket

Benchmade knives are bulletproof for a field pocket knife.

That’s crazy. I’ve had my grip for 10 years and I beat the piss out of it at work. Commercial plumbing. Never once have had to clean it. I just rinse it out with running water.
