New Police 4

[mongo1958]

Hi catch Mongo.

We have similar taste in design.

I designed the P4 for me. With 30 years of continually refining the model, I decided to create the ideal version for my tastes.

K390 was another one of my pet projects from first; studying the chemistry, getting some from the foundry (special order took 11 months) , testing it with Mules, working with the maker to heat treat and grind full flat with no coating (A major task in grinding) to production pieces.

What you have in that model is the result of years of passion and tenacity. Enjoy!

Good morning Sal,
I think you did a good job. I'm pleased with the results of you hard work.

By the way, how do I qualify for SFO (Spyderco Factory Outlet,) where those who qualify for OPFocus get 50% off MSRP?

One of these days, I would like to ride the bike (Harley Davidson Ultra Classic) to Colorado and witness the rocky mountains. When I do I would like to visit your factory (if that is possible).
Have a Blessed Day.

You can buy at full price right now from the online store. To get the discount you must be a first responder or similar and must submit credentials via ID.Me.
The steps are here: https://www.spyderco.com/resources/op-focus/

That’s all I know as I don’t qualify, so knowing more is pointless for me.

I don't qualify either.
Oh well.
Thanks JR.

As a big of the Police series I still carry the PE & SE flavors of both the Police3 & 4 on a fairly regular basis, no matter how many other options I may have, it's just a dang good platform.

Cheers,

John

the top SE is very different than the bottom one. I wonder why?

I'd wager because grinding serrations into VG10 is quite different than it is with K390.

John,
Those are very nice. What are the handles made of?

Those are all stock black G10, the lighting in that pic wasn't very good.

I have both the K390 in PE and SE. The police is an awesome knife..

Enjoy it!

My Native 5 in S35VN has a SE like your top police SE.
