A composite knife blade includes a cutting-edge piece of a first alloy, a back piece of a second alloy different from the first alloy, the cutting-edge piece and the back piece are brazed together at a serpentine joint. The cutting-edge piece has a high Rockwell hardness value, as compared to a hardness of the back piece. A method of manufacture of the knife blade includes fine blanking the back piece of from a sheet of the first alloy, laser cutting the cutting-edge piece from a sheet of the second alloy, and brazing the first piece to the second piece to form a composite blade. The composite blade is then cooled from the brazing temperature to an austenizing temperature of the cutting-edge piece, and quenched, to harden the cutting-edge piece.

I carry two knives on a daily basis FWIW. I've got a Ken Onion Leek as my all purpose knife, and I carry a Boker Ceramic for when I need something really sharp 
I've had eight different Leeks, and I've never had one break, but six were stolen.
They get expensive after a while.
SOG, Kershaw, Boker, Benchmade, Smith & Wesson, Ka Bar, Case XX, and Cold Steel are the best brands that I can think of off the top of my head.

For everyone interested, here is the guy selling Kershaw factory seconds (blemished knives but the everyday man wouldn't know the difference).

Bladeforums seems to be a VERY informative site. There are many actual employees from multiple knife companies who post regularly, and the amount of experience and knowledge over there is really awesome.
