I have a SOG Trident which has the same handle construction and the same lock. I've had it in my edc rotation for well over a year and have experienced no issues. The lock is plenty strong for almost anything you will need it for on a daily basis. I would say to go the fixed blade route if you...
I think a fixed blade would be better for your money.
A few options.

I just got a mint condition Gerber Patriot for........ Wait for it....... $25!!! It was an estate sale find and, obviously, hugely undervalued. I'll post pictures later.
The lock is easy to release without being flimsy, and he jimping (sp?) On the liner lock give you plenty of traction. It is just about dead center on the tang of the blade.
Thanks guys. I've been using it as my primary blade for edc with a Leek and a SAK Super tinker as backup blades. It carries very well for its size, and with the milled out liners is pretty lightweight. It's a heck of a blade for $38
