KnifeKits.com has a lot of folder kits that would meet there needs I would think one of the $20-30 knifes if build right would far exceed the quality of the knife's at the PX or other department stores.

I’ll throw in some supplies Justin SS tube, SS Colby Bolts, green canvas Micarta. PM me with your address I’ll have the stuff drop shipped to you place then you can send it with the steel.
Thanks to Aldo's generosity we now have some 3/16" A2 steel to get this going with. I decided on A2 on the fly because it is easy to work and the heat treat is predictable. I can do the HT for at least some of the makers who do a build, assuming they cannot do it themselves and that we don't come up with a better option by then.
We now need to come to a consensus on the design. I am inclined to go with something in the neighborhood of 8-10" in length, this seems to be a practical size for the areas that most of our our guys are operating in. Both Murph's and Big Smitty's designs fit this bill. If anyone else has a design to throw out, now is the time. I am leaving town tomorrow for several days and may not have internet so if we can come to a decision before then I will pony the shipping costs to get everything on it's way to Dave for cutting.
I also have a pattern for the knife pictured below, which is 10" overall.
