So I go against the steam and do a no-no (but since you brought up the Military). Go with the Paramilitary. I think you just jump into the water (or the net, if you will) and not just wade in knee deep. Get a typical Spyderco design: Endura, Salt, Police, Military....and try a the compression lock at the same time which brings you directly to the -> Para. I doubt you will get a Para for $70 though, yet since you mentioned the Military a fair recommendation I think.
Btw, the Mili has ONE liner otherwise the linerlock would hardly work...
