Okiecruffler,first your career choice has my upmost respect. As a volunteer Firefighter the worst thing I ever had to do was see kids hurt or worse. I can not even imagine doing your job for even one day,I'd never be able to handle it.
Second
I still have a few of those type..
All Walmart buys....only one has any meaning to me.And only the bottom two still see use.
The last one is a USA EZ-Out my current better half keeps it in her car.It was my first Tactical and I carried it for many years.
Second from bottom is my most valuable knife. A cheap Buck Juno from Walmart. A couple of years ago my kids came for our weekend,father's day weekend. My ex had promised to take them shopping before but had "forgot to". My kids were sad they didn't have anything for me so my better half snuck them off for a quick trip to Walmart and let them pick out stuff for me.
That Buck is a gift from my son,it has a place of honor as my truck knife...were my truck is I am ,so it is "always" with me.And it gets used.
The others are boxed up...I have more than a few slip-joints for normal EDC.

Now I have to be honest, my daily carry knife is either an M16 or a Mirage made by Columbia RIver Knife and Tool in a factory that's a damned site removed from the Columbia River.
