Kershaw is not "high end" by any stretch of the imagination, but they are certainly much better than Gerbers. The Kershaw Blur is definitely a very good knife, and its available in S30V steel if you want "high end". I also like the Kershaw Emerson collaborations very much. I like to carry the Kershaw Emerson CQC-6K. The wave feature works very well.
As mentioned above, spydercos are also pretty good. I have never been a fan of their look, though.

I've had a kershaw 1660st in my pocket for over a decade now. I love the thing.

Just bought my dad the Gerber Strong Arm, seems to do just fine when you watch the videos of it on YouTube.
For myself I have the Ka-Bar BK16, I really like that knife

You bought a knife for 10usd from some random seller and are trying to get the manufacturer to replace it?
Or you literally just found a knife in the mud and are hoping to be able to buy a $10 replacement blade?

I'm a Buck knife fanboy myself. Of the 2 OP inquired about the Kershaw is a much better knife than the baby food company blades.
I've never used a Benchmade or Spyderco, but judging from what they cost they should be awesome as hell.
