New member greeting & question
Hi all, Florida resident here. Longtime lurker here figured I would become official. I am mostly a gun guy and have many, my second interest is knives. Cleaning a drawer the other day and found my old "POLICE MODEL" its all stainless and has Serrated edge. I purchased this in either very late 80's or 90. I am pretty certain it is generation 1, it does have" Police Model "on the blade. It is lightly used. My question is how would I know for sure what generation it is ? also a friend said it is rare and collectable and worth $, is this true. ?

Welcome, Radman!
"Police model" lettering, all stainless and Serrated edge were both the first and the second generation.
The first generation has a lock release position closer to the blade than the second generation. And the first generation has beveled handles.
Let's take a look at the pictures of this knife.

Welcome to the forum!
I'm no help with the Police Model identification, but I can tell you latest and greatest sure is a looker. It'd be fun to have both to compare!
If I lived in Florida I think I'd pick up some Salt series knives. The Salt series just won't rust! The Native 5 Salt is a nice starting point, but the Pacific Salt 2 is also nice if you like larger knives.

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum Radman!
I'm one of the guys who responded in your thread over on RFC. There's nothing I could add here that hasn't already been said.
There's a great group here with a lot of Spyderco knowledge. Enjoy your time here!
