Will Police 4 blade fit Police 3 scales?

[Ballex]

Anyone knows if I can swap the blade off a Police 4 FRN and install it on a G10 Police 3?

Thank you!

If you experiment with this, be sure to take the lock bar from the P4 and use it with the P3. Interested in your results.

Thanks, I was hopping for an answer. I have a Police 3 with G10 scales and was thinking of purchasing a Police 4 LW in K390 and swap the blades.

I haven't tried it, but based on dimensions and my memory of both knives, I'd say probably not.

I don't have a P3 so I also can't give a definitive answer, but based on the comparison photos in Vivi's excellent review of the P4 below I'd be almost certain it wouldn't work, unfortunately.

There look to be significant differences in the dimensions of the blade tang, lockbar cutout, and lockbar. Based on that, I'd be really surprised if the blade and lockbar from a P4 could drop into the P3 handle.
