You could not possibly go wrong with a Strider.
The Strider guys are all ex-mil, maybe some active, so they know exactly what is needed in an edged tool/weapon.
They build edged tools specifically for the military user.
They also offer a discount to military, and are very good at accomodating if you need a blade before deployment. (i.e.; getting your order filled on short notice. They will move you to the front of the line.)
They have an unbeatable warranty: If you ever break or damage the knife, send it in for repair or replacement, no questions asked.
They also offer lifetime sharpening and general refurbishing. (Rewrapping cord handles, re-blasting stripe patterns, etc.)
It don't get much better than that!
