Leathermans are great for multifunctionality, but if you just want a quality pocket knife go with one of these: It's an Opinel no.8, and with it's carbon steel blade it is a great cutter, while its beechwood handle can handle lots and lots of bullshit ( i know this because mine has spent several weeks being fucked up in a recliner mechanism while i thought it was lost) . It has a blade lock, it's got two moving parts and is basically unkillable. It's been made by the same company for over 120 years in France with only minor changes (save the blade lock, which is pretty major). The cost of this little gem? $15 bucks CAD. I've had mine for somewhere approaching 4 years and aside from very occasional sharpening i've had no maintenance problems or anything at all.
