Old school Police with titanium handle
Sal what are the chances for a sprint ? Old school serated Police is the most iconic Spyderco IMO and I think it deserves a new iteration with titanium handle.I hope I'm not the only one.

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
You mean like this?
Just for perspective, back in 1993, when those were made, the MSRP of the SS Police was $106, the Tufram aluminum Police's MSRP was $132, and the titanium Police had an MSRP of $300. Now it may not be nearly 3 times as expensive today, but it still might be too expensive to draw much interest.

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
That sounds expensive. Yet, I am not so sure. Titanium knives have gotten a lot, I mean a lot cheaper since 1993. Now you can buy them for less than $50. So, the idea of a Ti Police is not to far fetched and I would be interested if they kept the cost down around the price of the Ti Endura or less. I would rather have the pattern used on the current G10 version, though.

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
The original C07 is still one of my favorite models. I'd love to see a pinned model Sprint of some kind, Ti would just be icing on the cake.

Hey Paul,
Thanx for the memory trip.
I have a Police 4 in-the-works. I wasn't happy with the "3".

I remember the last discussion of a Police Sprint brought this up as well. Anything specific about the 3 that you are aiming to address with the 4, that you're willing to discuss that is?

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
Hi, is it possible that, a titanium police, has Gin-1 Blade?

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
Is it the case that Spyderco could release a titanium handled sprint Police with the 4th generation blade style, and not contradict the principle that a sprint is only ever released once in a given variation?

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
A Ti Police 4 sprint would be a really cool place to use LC200N.
Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
There has never been a sprint of any Police model since I started buying Spydercos. I'd love to see it get ANY sort of sprint or alternative run. DLC? Ti? Salt? Anything.
There was talk about a Ti/ZDP189 Police 3, but that never happened. Would have bought a couple.

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
Very unlikely, an original C07STI Ti-Police should have ATS-34 blade that's best of my knowledge. But it is Spyderco and you never know ... :rolleyes:

I haven't seen all of them, but the one above is ATS-34.

Re: Old school Police with titanium handle
A serrated Ti Police salt would make sense in a really strange, wonderful way.
I'd love to see a matching Civilian even more, if this winds up happening.
