The Kershaw Leek is a bargain in a folding pocket knife, if there ever was one. Well made with good steel and, at the flick of your finger its ready for business. I don't know which iteration you have as they make several but, its not often you can get a quality frame lock pocket knife for so little. I have several Kershaw knives and like them all.

Although expensive, the Chris Reeve Sebenza is the cadillac of production frame lock pocket knives - made in America of course. I have one in my pocket now and am never without it. I also have the Scott Cook Lochsa and its virtually without peer. The handle is one piece titanium. No screws or pins. Beautifully executed in every way.

i have this one that i really like. the finish is way more impressive in person, and it just feels like a well built piece. i dont carry it that often, generally i carry a small mini SOG multitool, but this is really one of my favorites:
