Spyderco Forums

Nice review. I've been carrying mine every day since I got it a few months ago. I have found that it pretty much "disappears" in terms of feeling the knife on me when wearing IWB front right with a paracord connecting sheath to belt or belt loop. During the winter I've been carrying it in ...

I'm a convert. My linerless Spyderco knives (Native 5 and Native Chief) have convinced me that linerless backlock knives are the best handle/lock configuration out there. Light, corrosion-resistant, simple, rock solid, and comfortable due to the thicker scales. G10 or FRN, I'm sold. While the super ...

A serrated P4 Salt would be amazing.

A linerless P4 Salt would be even MORE amazing. I love my linerless Spydercos (Native Salt and Native Chief) and I think a linerless P4 with slightly thicker scales would be an ergonomic and lightweight dream knife.

I believe the Police is meant to be a “hard use” knife so K390 is perfect for that. M390 and it’s American variants (204p & 20CV) are my favorite steels for EDC knives but they aren’t super tough so I wouldn’t recommend them for hard use. Where did you get the info that K390 is tougher than M39...

K390 is a production steel for Spyderco. It's on a lot of models in the catalog. Both versions of the K390 Police are/were regular production. I believe M390 has only been used on a regular production Spyderco on some of the made-in-Italy Spyderco models, because the maker there uses it a lot. Outsi...

I am getting the Swick Large. I recently bought a Perrin La Griffe with a hole almost the same dimension as the upcoming Swick Large and it fits well. I wouldn't really want anything smaller, and I think my hands are somewhat smaller than average for males. Like someone said above, you want to be ab...

Spyderco has found that with most of their current lockback knives it is actually pretty difficult to accidentally unlock while gripping, a product of tweaking the shape of the scale cutout. So Sal has stated it's not an issue of function or safety but rather consumer preference. Implementing the bo...

"Right, I like LC200 but don't need the full Salt corrosion resistance" I guess I don't really understand this desire. From what I've seen, the only advantage of LC200N over even VG-10 is corrosion-resistance. Edge-holding is similar or better in VG-10, and definitely better with S30V. So ...

I just want a Police K390 with G10.
Please make more

Try out the FRN K390 Police. In most ways I like it better than the G10.

I tend to take a very utilitarian approach to these political issues. We already live in a society in which pretty much everyone besides libertarians and anarchists agree that a "social contract" is necessary. That includes liberals and conservatives. We all agree that certain laws curtail...

One issue I see with your mockup is that around 40% of the opening hole is obscured when closed. That would be a no-go for me. The Native Chief is a similar design to what you are looking for (maybe not as "beefy" of a blade as you would want) and it's designed with only about 5-10% of the...

I picked up a barely-used G10 K390 P4 for a decent price from a local knife nerd, to add to the G10'd Hap-40 and FRN K390. Had just about given up hope finding one of these for a decent price. I still slightly prefer the FRN Police.

Kristi, I think your compromise to change the banner periodically showing multiple uses is a great one. Seems like adding more work to your plate but if it's easy enough I think it's a great idea regardless of this discussion. I think the current Spyderco copy and graphics are super creative (like t...

Same here. I might preorder tomorrow.

Can I say that I find the bullets and gun magazine misplaced? This is a Spyderco knives' forum. No need to display weapon equipment.

The model is called the Police, so it makes sense to me.

Same here. I like the new banner. Helps that the Police is my favorite model.

Starting to worry I won't be able to buy one. I've been looking for a Zwear Shaman and the only source at this point is EBAY, which I refuse to support the flipping. If the C-60 is going to be in a fancy steel, I'm concerned there will be another sellout spree. It's a backlock. Doubtful it will be ...

I vote FRN because it's more economical, and also micarta Street Beats are still Fred Perrin's specialty.

A K390 FRN Street Beat would be great.

Nice job with the reprofiling of the blade silhouette. It looks very smooth. I've heard various takes on LC200N's edge retention vs. VG-10, some saying equivalent, some saying one or the other takes the lead. I'd be curious to see some testing. Maybe there's data out there I'm not aware of. VG-10 te...

Random thoughts related to this thread: 1. Don't begin your post with "This has nothing to do with my personal desires" and then list off a bunch of personal desires and why Spyderco has failed to satisfy them. Unless you have some hard market research data on why it would be a good idea t...
