A lot of the old standard knife brands basically suck today. I wouldn't give a nickel for a Schrade or Case. Ka-Bar has some decent stuff, Buck too. But bang for buck, they do not rival the top chinese brands.

Could you update? Mine just recently broke too and was wondering about it.
There are a ton of different steels used in modern pocket knives, so I wouldn't expect anyone to take the time to make a list of good vs. bad for the 50 different alloys you might see. Different steels have different strengths and weaknesses across the 3 big performance markers of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Just Google "Knife steel nerds steel chart" and you'll find an article from a couple years ago that is still a very good, quick reference point for what you can generally expect from various steels.
Wish I didn't have to pay anything, but it's better than nothing.
Which one and why?

Most steels are good, but there are tradeoffs. Nitro V is a nice stainless option that takes a great edge, but it doesn't have the longest edge retention. Steels with tremendous edge retention usually have thicker carbides which leads to potential chunks of steel being torn out if they hit something hard (plus they're harder to sharpen).
The heat treatment quality is the biggest difference amongst knives you buy. The super cheap dollar store knives are usually rather soft so they deform easily, but even cheap steels can be hardened in a way that they're very useful. One of my favorite cheap steels is 14C28N.
Without a good heat treatment, the knife doesn't usually have very many good traits. It will deform, it won't hold an edge well, and even the corrosion properties are affected.
