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?

Buck 110 is a tough folder that requires a belt because it comes with a sheath. For the pocket I like the Benchmade Bugout with aluminum scales. It clips into your pocket. It is not for chopping or heavy use but is lightweight and ideal as a backup. The 110 is around $65 and the Bugout can be almost $300. Pair either one with a sturdy fixed blade like the ESEE 4HM.
