I carried the Spyderco Kris (ED Shemp sp?) on duty for a few years. It was an excellent knife. VG-10 steel holds an edge and is easy to re-sharpen.

I carried the original BM 800BTS and 812BTS (AFCK). I had a liner lock failure. BM sent me the AFCK D2 Axis. D2 is a great steel. Holds an edge longer than the VG-10 but is a little harder to sharpen.

Carried the CRK Sabenza for six months straight. I feel S30V is a great steel when treated correctly. Never had a chip with the Sabenza's S30V. I will give you this warning-it is a well done knife. The fit and finish are superb-second to none. I stopped EDC of the Sabenza because I was ruining a piece of art work.

I used the Halo by Microtech on my vest. It was the only one I attached to my vest. The Microtech LUDT and SOCOM have held up well for me over the years. The Scarab and Combat Troodon have been excellent. I had a firing problem will the regular Troodon (two models) . I traded it in for the larger Combat Troodon without a problem.

Emerson/Benchmade Specwar CQC7 has held up well for the past 13-14 years.

I gave my SOG Recondo to one of my LEO partners getting deployed with the 19th. BG-42 is one of my favorite blade steels. The have a Spyderco Military with CF scales and BG-42 steel that was disco'd a few years back that I T&E'd. I loved it.

Hope this is helpful. Stay safe.
