Smaller Police4 Sal ?

[Skidoosh]

Isn't a 3 inch police just a caly 3? I would love a sprint in k390

Is it a Rookie (https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/detail ... roduct=361) you're wanting to refresh, Marius?

This.

More than a size change, I would still like a Police 4 SE

I just love the blade/handle ratio of the Rookie.

A refresh would be welcome- though there's a part of me that felt it was too thin a handle for such a thick blade stock. Liners and thinner (k390?), slicey blade and we're set!

...
Why a three inch instead of three and a half inch?

I know that blade length doesn't always correlate directly to handle size, but I find knives with 3" blades fit my hand perfectly. I like smaller knives, and 3" and under is legal most places. There's a few cities here that have ordinances regarding pocket knives over 3 inches. (thankfully I don't live in one, but I visit sometimes)

Very good point, thank you for explaining that. I would like to see one also.

I forget if you mentioned it but do you prefer that blade shape in a fully serrated edge, or a plain edge, or a combo edge?

I once read a post from a long-time Spyderco collector that a well-sharpened Police folder with the full-serrated edge and the plain edge is one of the sharpest knives the person ever used. I can definitely see that being true because the profile of that blade is made for slicing well.

That's a good question. My instict is to say PE, but my tastes have expanded lately. I wouldn't mind full SE. Or a serration forward combo edge like Evil D has suggested a few times.

The next question: The handle material: If they were make a new Police with the 3 inch blade, would you prefer a G10 or FRN grip? They might try it in G10 first, as they do with some early-on new knife models, and then if it becomes popular, make FRN handles later.

I believe Sal just said a 3 in. blade would no longer be a Police because its design will not scale.
