What about something that holds its sharpness?
kabar us marine survival will hold an edge. I had to put mine in a vise and then filed the edge to the shape I liked.
Holding an edge is important for most knives but for sticking it is point. The edge does not get much use. What I see all the time is a dirty knife go in the sheath. Never do that mud, dirt, blood, and such are horrible on a blade. Always wipe the blade to get most things off. Then ash with water. Creek or ditch water is better than nothing, and then dry it. Even a cheap knife should last many years. But when you lose it a cheap knife hurts less. Just get what you want that is long enough and take care of it.
