The one improvement I’d like to see is with the choice of steel, but I know VG-10 is a hallmark material of Spyderco’s Japanese-made knives. Perhaps that is a relic that will always remain, although I wish it wouldn’t.
Still, it’s an awesome piece that makes clear why it replaced the Buck 110 for LEOs looking for a one-handed knife they could clip easily to their gear. It feels like nothing in the pocket, and the blade length means you’ll never be wanting for more cutting surface. Fantastic stuff!
-Sharp
-Slim - the strength of using steel, positive lock up construction and original thumb hole on the blade
-Tough - stainless steel construction, design,
I first bought a Police model back in the late eighties when this particular model went into production, and have enjoyed using a spyderco police model ever since: combat tours to Iraq, Afghanistan, training deployments to the California High desert, and plenty of fishing tours throughout the USA.
There are ALOT of knives out there, top rate even, but if you want a tool that you can use and carry every day, then this particular knife is it, it's big, but slender, tough, sharp, well made as well as a aesthetic beauty to this well made: tactical, defensive, fishing, EDC, tool, pruning and gardening KNIFE!
I recommend this knife without reservation!
A Point of view comment - ALL men and women have the inherent right to self defense! In a time when politicians at every level of office are actively promoting self disarmament and denial of basic civil rights, it would be well to remember that there is an inherent individual responsibility to maintain safety and security. Learning to use the is essential for the promotion of your inherent rights!
Because of the short length of this knife, it's a little more difficult to open than my others, though. It's probably just that square corner that need to wear a little. The clip seems much tighter than my other Spiderco knives, maybe because this one is chrome plated, and not stainless.
The handle is not the spider-web looking one in the ad photo, but still non-slip and lightweight.
Didn't really need it, but at a sale price, it still earned a spot as my EDC knife. Regrettably, it will someday embarrass my wife at the next steakhouse that gives me a dull knife, just won't be quite so obvious.
