The Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite would be the ultimate woodworking knife at that price.

The Ka-Bar Bob Dozier Folding Hunter is also a good choice for an inexpensive EDC knife.

Edit: the Knife Recommendation Guide in the sidebar has good suggestions too: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wAeE0b8k5WyF0UY8XTfa9vcurwJDL7od1xzk0Cr3v9I/edit

Firstly, some unsolicited advice. If there's a low chance of the knife getting confiscated for whatever reason, I'd say save up a little more scratch and get something a little nicer. Alright, now that I've said that, I'm going to assume that you're going to completely ignore it. (Which is fine.)

Ontario RAT 2 always comes highly recommended. You pretty much can't go wrong here. It is a liner lock, which will be a little easier to use one-handed than a lockback. Though maybe only if you're right handed.

I think if I were going for a Spyderco in that range, I'd go with the Ambitious instead. (Right under $30, blade is 2.25 inches.) Or, save up a few extra bucks and go with the Persistence (Just under $35, blade is 2.75 in). The Byrd line is designed by Spyderco, but made by other companies under Spyderco's direction. I'm sure they are a decent value, but if that's what you want, I think you'd probably be better off, and happier, saving your money and getting a Delica 4.

You may also want to look into the Buck Vantage. It's a flipper, so easy opening is there. I think it's a liner lock as well. The steel is okay, but expect to be sharpening it fairly often (maybe once a week if you want to keep it razor sharp).

Another option is the Ka-Bar Dozier. It uses AUS-8A steel, which is pretty good for the price range (in my opinion). Thumb stud, lockback. This one's $20, so a little below your budget actually. Could use some of the money saved to get some sort of sharpening system (DMT Card maybe?)

Blue Ridge Zancudo, designed by the same people behind the RAT series. Pretty much the same idea, but I think the blade shape on the Zancudo is a little better if you need to be able to pierce things.

Last one, the Kershaw Shuffle. A little smaller, at 2.4 in blade length. But has a bottle opener, if you're into that sort of thing. Also, cheaper than any of the rest of the options here. I also think that this one probably has the best blade-shape, in my opinion. It's almost all belly.

Personally, I have found that having the longest knife you have is good, but a lot of the time most of that edge isn't put to good use. Sometimes it's too long, which makes it cumbersome. If you're mostly opening boxes and mail and stuff like that, something closer to a 2.5 inch blade might be more the ticket. I find that it makes it easier to make precise cuts.

The Ka-Bar Dozier folder is a solid choice for around 20 bucks. You can also grab some Sanrenmu 7010's for about 10 bucks each here.

If autos are your thing, I hear good things about Ganzo's offerings.

Spyderco has a value line called Byrd. I like their Cara Cara 2 and they offer quite a few variations.

My favorite knives in the value sphere are the Ontario RAT 1 (or 2, if you like 'em smaller), and the Kershaw Leek (slightly outside your price range, but they are very good knives).

Happy hunting and congratulations!

The Spyderco Chaparral LW comes to mind. Very thin, small and easy to carry, and it has the wire pocket clip which is very unobtrusive. It's A fantastic knife overall with great steel, and not intimidating.

EDIT: ooops. I missed your $50 or less requirement. Disregard my suggestion.
Maybe a Kabar Dozier Folding Hunter instead?
