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.

Yep! Cold Steel is pretty hard to beat at this price-point. Could also consider the recon 1 (is this in cts-xhp or aus8a?), mini recon 1, or the american lawman.
The Cold Steel Recon 1 is built like a tank.

There's 3 different blade shapes to choose from, you can get serrated or plain edge and you can pick different sizes.

I'd go with the 4 inch clip point plain edge version personally.
Any Cold Steel knife with a tri-ad lock should be pretty strong.
For a tough folding knife with a 4" blade maybe this would be good?
