Need something utilitarian that'll hold up a while, I don't want the blade snapping while I do something. Any ideas?
You can get a mora for less than $10 on Amazon which will do just about anything you need to do.

Seconded. I had a Mora Robust that cost me 12 bucks and it was the best knife I've ever owned. Thing's got an 8th inch thick spine and is completely indestructible. I watched a video where they batoned it through a bunch of bricks, hammered it into a tree, and stood on it.
Pretty much infinite budget, as I'm working and classify as an independent, so gas and insurance are no problem for now, and I'm good at saving money. And like I said, as utilitarian as I can get. Decent enough to be useful, scary enough to deter muggers/crazies.
Mora's are good, as mentioned. I really like my buck knife, and you can get replacement blades through them really cheap, though I've never needed to.
The authentic Down Under knives, in the movie Crocodile Dundee the knife he used in that knife scene is called, The Down Under Mistress..

I like the cold steel SRK if you want something fixed, maybe the Ontario Rat 1 or anything Kershaw makes if you're looking for a folder
mostt gerber knives are pretty sturdy and sharp, but they dull out pretty quickly. it really depends on how often you expect too be using it.
I use the Gerber Gator fixed blade knife, it's lightweight at just over 5 ounces, tough as nails and is built to last.
When it comes to pocketknives I use the Victorinox Swiss Army "Farmer" Pocket Knife.
