The Becker BK-2 is a fine beater of knife for your first decent quality fixed-blade. Great size, great price.
Edit: If you really want something "cool-looking" but still functional, the new Becker BK-5 could fit the bill.
Here are some options:
Ka-Bar:
Mark 1 Kraton handle
BK5
Neck Knife
Condor:
Bushcraft Basic
Kephart Knife
Bushlore
Basically-a-Mora-options:
Hultafors Heavy Duty
Cold Steel Finn Hawk
Ka-Bar's 1095 is pretty damn good. The Magnum Camp Knife is bigger than you were looking for, but it's a solid value. Condor knives are very high value, but can be rough around the edges. The Hultafors and Cold Steel knives I linked are stainless, but should do well in a kayak. All these knifes will take a beating and should be useful for a wide variety of tasks (some better than others, of course, but I wanted to offer a wide selection of size, shape, and grind).
