Been playing with some different spydies recently. Lum tanto, Chinook, Calypso jr, starmate... I was really amazed by those knives, but as time goes by, again the ss police turns out to be the most perfect -- ultra slim design makes it easy to carry, amazing penetration ability, strong lockback... Thanks again to spyderco guys for this wonderful old design. I love my police!

The SS Police with a serrated edge was my first spyderco. I own MANY other spydercos, but the police remains one of my favs. It couldn't get much better than with the upgrade to the VG-10 steel. It's &quot;flashy&quot; and elegant, yet can still get down and dirty if needed. A lot of knives come and go, but the police has remained a stronghold in the spyderco line up. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The Police stands out for me too. I have the SS versions, both plain and serrated versions. I won't be buying any knives until at least well into next year, but when I do, the VG-10, plain-edge Police will probably be first in line. When I think of Spyderco, first thing to mind is the SS Police model. IMO, it's the flagship knife of Spyderco.

I too love my Police S/S S/E <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> ! I saw Training Day when it first came out, I just happened to be carrying it that day. When they showed that scene I wanted to hold up my knife in the movie theater, but refrained from doing so for obvious reasons!
I'd have to give the Police model two thumbs up! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
BTW... When it comes out in VG-10, like JamesY I'll be buying one P/E of course <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I inhereted a Police SS from a friend who passed on. I have no use for this knife but I wore it EDC for sentimental reasons and because is seemed like a cool knife. &quot;Too big and heavy&quot; I thought. I forgot it was there, I could not believe how this knife simply floated in my pocket. I still have no use for this knife but bought a Spydie Calypso Jr. Micarta love it and even think of buying a Meerkat. I dont know why.

I fell in love with the G-10, flat-ground version of the Police. IMHO ~ This is one the most robust version ever made.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I too love my SS police, which was handed down to me from my father...its a G-2 series and i took a dremel tool and put a &quot;dent&quot; in the lock to update it. Now its perfect.

I like the smaller version, the Rookie.

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

The perfect Police model is mine: full serrated, titanium handle. At the time it was made, ATS 34 was still pretty exotic. I only wish I had bought two.

Its all fun and games til somebody loses an eye, then its fun and games you can't see.

Samo, Thank goodness someone agrees with me on the G-10 Flat Ground police!
I hope they do a run w/ the VG-10 Steel and Boye indent.

Perhaps the ATS-55 was the reason the Flat Grind was unpopular.


Knife Knut on a shoestring budget.

The Police turned out to be a classic design. Some of the variations like the Titan and G10 handles added different features. The VG-10 version should be out very soon.

Currently, I'm planning to make a short run (1200 pcs) of carbon fiber Police models with the same ratio as the Carbon fiber Civvies.

Is there going to be a G-10 handled Police with VG-10 steel?.

Nope. The G10 Police is discontinued.

Sal,

I guess these Carbon Fibre Police models would have the new VG-10 blades, huh?

Stu,

I bought a Police SS Plain on Dec 21 on Ebay, and was very (nicely) surprised to see the one that was shipped had a VG-10 blade. It wasn't advertised as such, but I was sure glad to see it.

Thanks,
Dan
