Close. That's a second generation Police (beveled edges on the handle and the lock release moved back). We'll need a ruling from the referee. ;) Didn't even see the differences until you pointed them out, Yablanowitz. I see what you mean about the numerous variations. Still officially labeled C07P,...

That Mariner looks like it's been to sea. Very nice.

But why? Hahah

I always wanted to get my hands on a Scorpius, but I wouldn't touch that thing with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. :p

I remember wanting one a few years back. I've since learned I appreciate slim wallets. :)

I carry the Kiwi when I go to the city. It's non locking, clipless and needs two hands to open. :spyder: I similarly carried a Kiwi thinking the same thing. When I read on another forum that NYPD officers were performing what were essentially Spydie drops to assess knives, I pulled out my Kiwi and ...

Well.. The Superleaf has appeared and it dang sure is no fig leaf. VERY nice fit and finish. **** sharp and the more I handle compression locks the more I really, really like them. Put a slab of S90V or S110V and a couple tweaks here and there, and your getting into grail country for some. As it is...

I didn't really believe in keeping spares. Then I met the Superleaf.
Also, I snagged another one a few days ago.

That may not be such a good idea. At last count, I had 21 variations of the Police Model, and I believe that is less than half of all they have made. I wasn't aware, but that is indeed a lot. I understand patiently checking for someone with the exact variation is time consuming and slows down the t...

It only specifies model, blade type and colour. I would think handle material would come into it too. Eg: Carbon fiber, FRN or G10. Yes, handle material too. Really, anything you can discern by eye. For example, I think the Bradley Folder comes in different generations based on different milling of...

I would say as long as the model, handle material, color, and blade type match, it's ok. For example, a black, PE, 154CM Manix 2 = a black, PE, S30V Manix 2. In my ambitious wish to see the models in every variation covered, I'm reluctant to let things slide this way. I also like the illusion that ...

Must be my screen, but I can barely read the words on your tablet. Actually, I just see the word "SEE" and am assuming the rest. Nice Dodo though. :)

I wasn't around when this thread was active, but I want to share my sympathy for the plight of the Superleaf. I currently own about eight of them, and just about all of them are pre-owned. While I'm happy to have snagged all those Superleaves, it crossed my mind how easy it seemed for owners to par...

I'm willing to bet the degree of durability between a saber grind and a full flat grind on an otherwise identical knife will make no difference in a self defense scenario. If you ever had to press the blade into that kind of service, you'll realistically slash/stab only once or twice, and you won't...

Is it a C16 Wayne Goddard or a C18 Wayne Goddard Jr?

None of those in my collection.

I'm certainly no Goddard expert, but if you compare it by size to the Navaja above it, that should be a C16S.

Soooo much Schemppage...

I like it. :cool:

Although I have no experience with CTS-BD1, I'm glad to try another steel on my favorite byrd model. :)
