Spyderco: The blade shape of Spyderco’s “Rock Lobster” is what caught our eye and once in the hand, proved its worth. With a blade shaped a bit like an old-school sailing or mama rine knife, the tough, blunted point cuts like gangbusters, yet won’t poke you or anything else unless you want it to. RugRug ged G-10 scales, a 3.75" blade, a clip allowing blade-up or blade-down carry and a weight of only 4.1 ounces makes the Lobster duty-ready. www.spyderco.com Mitch Rosen: His company is actually called “Mitch Rosen ExtraordiExtraordi nary Gunleather” for a reason — it’s, um, well … extraordinary. We’re not so concerned which holster you buy (from anyone) as we are that you get the best quality you can afford. And if you’re going the leather route, it simply doesn’t get any better than Mitch’s stuff. And while you’re at it make sure you buy a decent belt. I’m tired of seeing detectives tugging up sagging pants because their $5 K-Mart belt won’t hold up that two-pound SIG. Mitch’s “Express Line” (illustrated) is surprisingly affordable. www.mitchrosen.com Rite In The Rain: We’ve all been there and we all hate it. Pouring rain, sleet or whatever and there you are doing a field interview on some dirtbag. Your pen is skipping, paper melting in your hands and your temper getting shorter. Rite In The Rain’s line of pocket notebooks and field interrogation pads solve these problems. With one of their “write just about anywhere up to 250 degrees hot” pens, you can shrug off the downpour and document the crash scene, or Mr. Ima Criminal’s life history. This makes good sense. www.riteintherain.com Perfection Uniforms: We’ve included the Matrix duty pants from Perfection to remind you these really are the good old days of uniform design and performance.
