Probably obvious, but avoid cheap pocket knives as they’ll rarely keep an edge and the other widgets probably won’t work well.
When you really need it, you won’t begrudge the extra bucks you spent on it.
Don’t bother importing knives from overseas unless you know the import regulations. Lots of knives will get confiscated by customs that you would think would be allowed (some of which are even for sale within Australia). Some eBay sellers advertise as “we ship to Australia!”, but they don’t care if customs confiscate it as that’s deemed your responsibility.
