Seconding that you should upgrade the knife.
There are a lot of good options, although I would recommend you shy away from the Gerber brand as they have some quality control issues, and have been running quite a few recalls (Including on that utility knife you're carrying). I was hoping to have a link for you to an article comparing their number of recalls versus several other companies but can't seem to find it currently. A quick googling though will show you what I mean.
For a list of nice knife options for less than $100 (and most around the $50 mark) check out some of these:
Spyderco Endura
Cold Steel Recon 1
Cold Steel American Lawman
Cold Steel Voyager
Kershaw Blur
Benchmade Griptilian
Ontario RAT 1 Folder
CRKT Heiho
I think these on top of the list /u/OC4815162342 provided should give you oodles of options!
Also if you want to upgrade that wallet of yours here are some options to look at.

The leek is a wonderful knife, but I would hesitate to use it for medium/heavy tasks. The tip is so excellently thin and sharp it could double as an emergency field scalpel. And I like to keep it that way. The package/mail/trimming a loose thread/digging out a splinter (perfect) stuff is all I'd use it for. If more hard use is expected, I'd look elsewhere...
Spyderco is hard to beat in the edc value equation. Just over your budget but the endura or delica are awesome to carry.
Currently $62.85

What /u/RyeGuyCarby said. The assisted RATs are in AUS-8. The one I linked isn't assisted, but I don't think you need assisted. The RAT flips out nicely, in my experience.
As for the steel, yeah, you'll need either diamond stones or a whole lotta time (and I ain't foolin', neither) to sharpen D2. They come in AUS-8 (assisted and non-assisted), which is a lot easier to sharpen.
Mostly, I wanted to drop in with a couple of options in your price range that I like. I think a RAT will do the trick, based on your requirements, but please check out the Kershaws I linked to, too.
Also, check out the Spyderco Endura. As of this writing, the grey version is under 60 bucks!
For about $50, these are the best you're going to get.

These are all great knives, they're just a little different from each other.
Alright. Why didn't you like the Tenacious, if you don't mind me asking? Knowing would be a good way to limit my recommendations.
Some fan favorites in that price range are the Kershaw Skyline at the cheaper end of things, the Spyderco Endura at a bit more, the Buck TM Vangage Pro in S30V (one of the best deals around, IMO, because S30V is usually far more expensive) and the Cold Steel AK-47.
OP, I'd be cautious getting any of the bigger knives, if I were you, because most people don't like the weight and size in their pocket. I carry the previously linked Spyderco Stretch myself, but that's been called "too big for EDC" by many a person before.
Spyderco has a wide range of folders under $100. There's the Delica, Endura, Dragonfly, Centofante 3, and Stretch to name a few. All high quality, made in the USA.
The Tenacious line (including the Persistence and Ambitious) is awesome if you want good quality for less than $40. However, if you want to spend more, I would definitely recommend US made knives.
