companies that give LEO discounts?

[crom]

my little cousin graduates the police academy this month and is looking for a well made folder. I thought I could help him save a few $ if I could. If anybody can suggest a company, please do.
thanks,
kevin

A.G. Russell - 25% off for "first responders" (LEOs are included). It's a great deal.

Strider and Hinderer also give LEO discounts.

Strider and Hinderer also give LEO discounts.

I assume this applies to military as well... do you know how much of a discount it is? I don't want to waste the guys at Strider's time asking about the discount if I still can't afford one plus they haven't ever replied to any of my emails, haha...

Good luck talking to strider directly about getting the knife at discount... I couldnt ever get anybody but their secretary on the phone

Call AG Russell, New Graham, maybe 1SKS, any of the BFC makers and see if they offer your discount. If you're looking at Strider, call their retailers as well as the factory.

I would guess that they'd want to see proof of the LEO status, and it'd helpful if you know what you want to order before calling.

Most of these folks will have their discount policy on their web page as well.
