Seeking recommendations for an LEO's daily carry folder

[unhingedcuffs]

Good afternoon—

I’m seeking recommendations for a folding knife for daily carry when on and off duty.

I carried a non-serrated, non-tanto point Kershaw Blur for 4-5 years in the military, and now almost 5 years on road patrol.

But the recurve in the blade is a pain to sharpen properly, the clip doesn’t hold very well, and the internals are getting rough despite oiling from time.

Looking for a similarly sized folder that is sub-$150. Regular open or assisted is fine, straight or serrated blade is fine, too.

I’ve looked at the CRKT M16, the Spyderco Tenacious and Efficient, and Benchmade Griptillian. I see Civvi and Knafs mentioned in past threads, but I know nothing about those brands.

Main requirements would be durability (we work rain, snow, sleet, heat, and hail) and ease of sharpening.

Ive carried the M16 for years. Great little knife for the money.
