Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??

[Knife Knut]

Is there anyone else pining for a CombinationEdge FRN Police?

Once again I am asking for a CombinationEdge Partially Serrated Police in a handle besides Stainless Steel.

Last time I asked was long before the FRN Police, and during the era where there was the G-10 Police was for those who did not want the weight and slipperiness of the solid Stainless Steel handles.

Now with the increased demand for Spyderco knives, the demand for and plethora of newly CombinationEdge Spyderco and Byrd models, and a FRN Police, I ask again.

Long blades work best with partial serrations, and the Police has always been among the longest edges of all folding Spyderco. (Keep in mind the original design was an exercise in fitting as long a blade as possible into the handle.)

In fact, If I remember correctly, the Police is the only longrunning main line model that has not seen a partially serrated edge in G-10 and/or FRN.

I have looked at all the current other CE models, and the serrated sections extend too far into the belly of the blade leaving no nonserrated edge that is parallel to the handle axis.

60/40 Flat Ground like the CombinationEdge Military Would be my personal preference, but the Police 4 has enough edge length and and belly that even a 50/50 would still leave some edge nearly aligned with the grip. 60/40 would also better differentiate it from the Stainless 50/50

So Is anyone else desiring one?

If the half with serrations is the tip side, I'd be in

I have over 50 Police models and not a single one is combo edge, so no, thank you.

So you don’t like combo edges in general? Or for this particular model?

I would enjoy a police frn combo edge

I don't much care for combo edges at all. Plain or serrated, one or the other.

It's been quite a few years ago that I had 2 of the combo edged Police models. And I believe they were both from the ATS-55 era if my memory is correct. I do happen to be sort of a fan of Spyderco's combo edged models. And especially with the bigger models like the Police, Endura and even the older RENEGADE model that I EDCed for almost a year.

Spyderco's combo edged models on the bigger folders really seem to perform well for everyday tasks. The ones I've owned and used over the years have been really good in a pinch. I'm not all that big on FRN handles but they do have their place in the main line up. Sure bring it on!!

I’ve been able to hold off on getting a Police for the longest time, but if Spyderco were to bring about a FFG CE Police LW, that could be the nail in the coffin for my abstinence.

It’s highly unlikely we’ll see a Police Salt, at least in the short term, but if they could bring out a CE LW that is on the more stain resistant end of the spectrum I’d be even more interested.

You can always have the edge custom serrated at Willey Knives: https://willeyknives.com/

Seems a common recommendation on this forum, but no info of it on the website, but and are not many pictures of the result here on the forum.

Also, I am a bit partial to the idea of the stock Spyderco partial serrations that are fully chisel ground instead of keeping the original apex on the backside of the teeth that sounds like the result of the Willey partial serration modification.

I’d take one. I still have my AUS8 ProGrip CE with the molded clip, but it’s retired to a case now. I think the CE would shine on the longer blades. VG10 or LC200N would be good with me…think about a big ole honkin green Police and then throw in the CE!! Yup sold! And maybe two!

Why not contact them directly, tell them what you want and see if they will do it.

That would result in the serrations being in a thicker part of the blade.

Sure seems like combo edges were more popular 25 years ago. I used to purposely seek out combo edges, but eventually decided I wanted them one way or the other. Evolving uses, I guess.

That said, it does seem like the Police 4 would be one of the best candidates for CE.
