Edit: My apologies, I overlooked the portion that you'd prefer it to be foldable. Barring that, if you do consider a fixed blade knife, the by all means, consider the followin post.
I like the Schrade SCHF36M, used it today out on the trail hacking up a piece of fresh downed pine for a quick walking staff, made swift, sure work of it. I like that it's a good price for what it offers, a beat stick on a handle, and a handle that is full tang but has Micarta scales included. ~$46. Here are some reviews, followed by the listed specifications: 1, 2, 3. Those last two are of the same knife, but the prior revision, same knife but the older one had a TPE handle instead of Mycarta, review still relevant.
For it's nearly half the price it competes with the Becker BK22 and similar offerings.
Becker BK22 - This knife is a freakin beast. I've batoned 4in thick hardwood logs with this badboy with no problems and it still held its edge. And at 1/4 thick you could pry open a car door with it if needed.
Sawer Mini Water Filter
Mountain House Meals - Lightweight long storage and taste great.

kabar bk22 - $74.85
As has been posted alreadg I do like the Gerber LMF II, but another one to consider, and what I think i will be putting on my pack is the Becker BK2 Campanion. Or it's twin the Becker BK22. They are made in the USA by Kabar out of 1095 crovan steel. This knife is a beast for its size it is good for a chopper, but is still small enough to do delicate work.

The only real difference in the two is the sheath. They are great knives straight out of the box, but with a few personalisations they get even better.
I'd be happy to elaborate on that here or by PM but, will not bore everyone here if not needed. If the BK2/22 isn't your particular ideal check out the rest of the Becker line. Ethan has designed many great knives something is sure to fit the bill.
Check out the BK22; same knife (BK2) but with the polyester sheath with front pouch.
