IMO if i am going the cheap route I would say an outdoor edge or something like that with replaceable blades. I pack around a replaceable blade knife with a couple blades and also a Montana Knife
I would be going with Swaro 100% If you have the money for them then buy them. If not then buy the Mavens and wish you bought the swaros in the future. Yes the Mavens there is not too much of a difference in glass quality. I have had all the brands before. Buy sell and trade a bunch and always...
