Opening Pocket Knife
What pocket knife should I buy?
I'm looking to buy a pocket knife for utility purposes, like cutting open packages, letters, etc. I would like a knife that is partially serrated and partially straight edge, and is around 3.5 inches to 4 inches. Price range would be around $15-$30. I would like a knife that is very durable, holds a good edge, and can be sharpened easily and can last for a long time. 10 points to the person who gives me the best suggestion for a good pocket knife that fits my description. Thanks!
The knife that you describe doesn't exist, at least not in the pricerange of 15-30 
I've been collecting knives over 12 years now and one of the criterias for my knives is high edge holding, at least for the light cutters. I got quite a few knives in very exotic, high alloy, high performance tool steels and even though a lot of those steels are designed to cut other steels it's amazing how quickly cardboard dulls them... Although, they are still a a lot better edge holders than conventional steel knives.
Although, I guess it depends what do you call "holds a good edge"...
Most of the knives in the budget you describe will loose shaving sharp edge after ~50 inches of cardboard or so instead of 500 or more. As usual they use 420 stainless steel or 440A at best.

You'd have to maintain(as in strop and sharpen) them quite frequently.
Still, from those knives CRKT would be a good choice.
Slightly more expensive Kershaws will yield much better results.
