I personally do NOT trust liner locks or frame locks. I feel the most secure locks are lockback or axis type locks, especially for a beginner, so here is one of each.
If you want to try an axis lock, I would consider something like a SOG Terminus. It's around $55, but I feel it's a great choice. It has SOG's version of the Axis lock (a Benchmade creation) without the high cost of entry to a Benchmade. It has a short (er) blade at 3" that is flat ground which is ground like this \ not like this (, which will make cutting tasks have a more consistent feel and be a bit easier to control than a hollow ground blade whose geometry changes. It also uses D2 steel which is superior to anything I saw in this sale (unless I missed something), and it's made by an American company as well, albeit in China.
If you want absolute lock mechanism security, I have to go with a lockback. I'd consider a Kabar Dozier. It does have a hollow ground blade, but is a decent steel, is lightweight, comes in a variety of colors so you could choose his favorite or one that would be easy to find if dropped while camping, is also made by an American company, and is very inexpensive if damaged or lost at around $23 or so.
There are many options. If you don't like these, report back and I'll toss a few more out. I was emphasizing lock mechanism safety with a utilitarian style blade that's relatively inexpensive while not junk. If you are open to a higher budget, there are many more options that open up that he'd be thrilled with.

Also, these prices do not seem great. And why is the clamshell Leek $13 more. I do not get it. Harder to send you a fake one?

Edit: I see some of these at least are USA made. Makes them a much better deal.
