Which knife would you choose?

Hello. I want to give my dad a knife (he is in the military). What can you recommend from your own experience under $60? I think he won't like a folding knife, he won't approve of a large knife either, he likes compactness and reliability, so I want to give him the Ganzo G8012V2-DY. It has several useful features, good steel and a belt holster. I would like something similar in characteristics to this one. Also in the photo is my knife, my father liked it a little visually, so I think he would like something in a similar style, maybe a little more minimalistic.

My knife: Browning A340 (It's like a replica but has a good price and decent steel). It would also be interesting to look at your knife and hear why you chose it.
