Couple of brands that are used a great deal in meat processing plants are Dexter-Russell and Forschner.

I perfer Forschner with Fibrox handle. You can throw those into dishwasher, boiling water, whatever without damage. They are also available with a rosewood handle, which is very tough if you perfer wood.

A 6'' Forschner with Fibrox handle should be less than $15 with rosewood handles costing $4-5 more.
