Spyderco Police C07G3 - reality?

[The Deacon]

Sorry, I'm new here and mildly ignorant of the history behind some Spyderco knives. So, here goes...besides some blade length, what is the differences between this new police model and the G-10 E4? I ask because I was looking at getting the G-10 E4, but after seeing this I wanted to get some info. Thanks in advance.

Primary differences would be a blade at least 3/8" longer, more if ACMA-Reus' 110 mm description is accurate, and the presence of a 50/50 choil which allows you to choke up on the blade. That's something both the Endura, and the original G-10 Police, lack.

Thanks Deacon, I appreciate the clarification.

maybe it's a candidate for the "forum-knife 2008"?

I would say a very big YES for the Police to be the next Forum knife , very deserving if you consider how long this model has been around . MG2

They will be available in PE and SE. No current ETA.

Oh lordy. I can see myself buying 4 or 5 Police models this year if so... :eek:

Why not go a different route...

Why not take some of the last batch of the out going Police Model and engrave them as the Forum knife? Sort of a fitting tribute to a knife that has been around so long, and has been pretty much unchanged all this time.

Will the G10 Police replace the SS one, or will either be available?

This is something I'd like to know too.

Hey messer454--I envy you! Can you recall if the one you saw had the Endura style clip with the lanyard hole, as in that same picture? Since the picture from that German website shows a knife without an actual lanyard hole, it seems cheesy to have an Endura clip on it with a non-functional hole.

I would think that a variation as special as this would merit its own clip.

The problem is likely to be the pivot screw rather than the lanyard hole. If you take a solid clip from a stainless D4/E4 and try to mount it on the pivot end of the FRN model, the pivot screw holds the clip out from the scale. The same thing may well happen on this G-10 Police. From the pictures, I would say it would.

I'll have to have one of these even though I can't (legally) carry it. I would still like to see it paired with a G-10 Rookie in dark blue.
