The best gifts are something they wouldn’t buy for themself. Typically something expensive for what it is. A hard to find bourbon is nice.

That is an interesting idea, I don't think I've seen one like that before.
It might be something I could draw up and get the Dawson guys to make a couple of.
Would you be thinking of something like this but with a dagger shape blade?
How long would you want the blade to be?
Triangle, or more long and wide or more long and thin?
What kind of sheath do you want & how much retention do you want on it?
On leather sheaths you can do the standard strap and pin so you have to unclip it, but that seems a bit cumbersome.
On Kydex, I have a couple sheaths where the knife will not come out for anything unless you push the hidden detent aside and then draw.
Even a super basic version makes for a surprisingly sturdy lock.
For example this one here:
You can pull as hard as you want and twist and struggle, but unless you know to press out the little detent it's not coming out.
I would lean towards a good bottle of booze. A 30 or 40 year old port is a good way to say thanks.
If you want to buy a knife I would lean towards a utility knife like an Emerson SARK vs a fighting knife.

You know, I actually have a bunch of .080 kydex and high density foam in my basement I planned to use to make a few holsters and sheaths, and never got around to it. That’s a great idea, and I’ll have to take a look at the TDI and see how I could remedy my issue. I liked having it on me just in case, but that one incident soured me on the shitty factory sheath. Thanks for the inspiration!
Straight and thin is way to go. I find curved is harder to handle and also straight is easier to make a 2 hand grip with.
And the edges don’t need to be sharp. Just a halfway decent point. It’s a solo use just to punch holes in someone until you can safely remove your duty weapon.
Also, the more utility it has, the more often you’ll pull it out in front of people and educate them on what/where to look in the future.
you realize i served a few years as an LEO, dont you?
i realize yall have a lot of garbage to filter through, but come on. as a soldier and when i served as an LEO, i frequently read the constitution to keep my focus. especially after dealing with shitbags or a tough day.
You’ve made several anti-police postings lately. Or at least posts that can easily come across that way.
Fix it.
i havent hardely even been online in the last 3 weeks.
and forgive me, but with all i see going on in our society today, i am just flat out tired of the endless abuses of power and zero accountabilty. how that gets twisted into “anti cop”, i couldnt tell ya. anyone who knows me, knows i aint anti cop, anti soldier, or anti moderator. in fact, i aint much of anti anything. so long as people try their best to be their best WITHOUT hurting anyone else, i have not much of anything to say about it.
God bless ya all and have a great night.

Well, now that the dick wagging and the Rambo knife wielding shit is hashed out.
The guy got you a place to hunt. Most people are paying a fee and property tax bill for a hunting spot.
Get the guy a day spa trip for his wife. Mani/pedi, steam bath and a massage. Then dinner at a top place for both of them. If they need a sitter for children, take care of that too.

There’s a lot of really good suggestions on here. Any of them would be great. More importantly though, find a way to relay to him that you appreciate what he does and assure him that the silent majority still stands behind him. It’s an extremely tough job now days and there’s an unbelievable amount of folks who buy into the media and/or propaganda. It has taken a heavy toll on the profession’s morale. Small things can go a long ways for these guys.
Couple of things:
1. Most important thing to do is not fuck up while hunting. Shoot a cow, house, start a fire, etc. I know you are not that type but it does pay to understand that if something goes sideways it’s his reputation that is harmed with the landowner as well.
2. Help him out with some major project he has going on.
3. Help out the landowner if the opportunity presents itself.
You are a class act for wanting to return the favor. That may be SOP on this site but really isn’t in the world at large.

Get em a Handheld Modlite Plhv2, all cops need a good flashlight and it will be something he will use and can show off to his friends/co workers
if You’re not looking to spend that much then I agree with just a gift card to a good restaurant, it’s a simple way to say thanks

Not doable, it's a 4 day RT drive. Won't have time for anything else but the hunt. Property owner is getting a trespass fee.
Be careful, you'll be branded a racist if you can say something like that
Still haven’t heard what the max you’re willing to spend would be. Like I said before, private land lease/hunting rights aren’t typically cheap.
