New Police 4 and observations

[JonLeBlanc]

I am "lucky" in that I am for whatever reason more rational and "sensible" when it comes to fixed blades... I have 5 or 6, that will last me a lifetime, and just feel no urge to aquire more.
That's totally different when it comes to folders, but even in that I am "lucky" for I am exclusivly interested in Spyderco. That's not even a deliberate decision, nothing wrong with other brands, but just happens to be that way in my case.

I'm the same, in that I've filled every perceived niche need for different types of camping, hiking and hunting fixed blades. Same with high end Japanese kitchen knives. I don't really look at those kinds of knives anymore, 'cos I'm well served with what I already have.

As I like learning about knife history and thinking about the evolution of cutting tools, I'll sometimes add an interesting traditional working pocketknife pattern to the collection, but I'm pretty well covered in that regard, too.

I also only consider Spyderco knives among the modern folding knife manufacturers. Part of that is based on high quality and well thought out design, but I also feel that in buying a Spydie, I'm supporting an ethic of high integrity and human decency, which is increasingly rare in the corporate world, and should be applauded.

JonLeBlanc: Sorry to veer slightly OT. While you're getting the hang of posting pics, I hope you don't mind if I sprinkle another of mine into your thread. :)

The P4 getting ready to prep the ingredients for a homemade hotsauce:

Oh no by all means lol, I'm glad somebody has been. After a couple days one further observation I'd make is that I kinda wish this model had a Boye dent. My thumb pad kinda hurts from all the unlocking I've been doing, and the lock mechanism is pretty stiff (that's a good thing of course), so a dent would make things a little easier. Maybe I can grind one on.

I thought the P4 LW was new, but realize now that it's upcoming lol.

I had to check my P4 after reading this and it seems ok as far as corrosion on the liners. I’ll keep a close eye on it tho. I was very surprised by how much I love the knife. It’s got plenty of blade and is a breeze to carry. The k390 is fun to use and sharpen.

If you're on the fence about the P4 in K390, you owe it to yourself to try it.

For me, it's a fantastic EDC, but that may not be feasible for everyone because of legal restrictions.

^yes to all the above. It's been said before, but there's little doubt this forum has been responsible for a nice uptick in sales for the Police 4!

+1 I was really hoping for a dent on the Police 4 LW as well

Sorry Steel City,

I have no plans at this tome to add one. You can to get the dent by adding one. Easier to take away steel than to add steel. Make sure that you open the knife to the maximum to get the dent right.,

That's something I would consider doing as well; however, am I correct that making a structural alteration such as that would void the warranty?
