Texas has an odd regulation on fixed blade length and the 5.25" is legal. Made in the USA and about $64.

Thank you, I was not aware of that part of the law.

For what you are describing I HIGHLY recommend Morakniv. Very solid beater knives for less than $20. No bells or whistles, just decent steel and a sturdy polymer handle.
