I'd get a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 - https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=472You can get them at about the 100 USD mark in the States, maybe cheaper if you can snatch a deal... Just love mine - great quality, great design, great slicer, great steel, perfect ergonomics, great G10 grip, perfect jimping and a wonderful locking system PS: Do note this is probably the most forged knife in the world so buy only from a proper dealer.Ow you said combo blade.. the PM2 is either Plain or Serrated.Mybe a Tenacious or a Resilience instead and take him to a strip joint with the rest of the pennies https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=622https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=597
Under your budget but an Ontario Rat 1 is a pretty sweet knife.(Image removed from quote.)

Also consider a Victorinox soldier knife or Road tour knife, as they have combo edges and some extra tools too.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

thanks for the input, guys. i sent my brother some picks of the spydercos to see if he likes them. he was not interested. turns out he just wants a gerber paraframe (a knife he has had in the past, but lost it). since they are pretty cheap and he is prone to losing things, im getting him a couple thanks again for the help!
