Last Iteration of the Stainless Police?

#1

Post by Jeremy_A_Neel »

Hi everyone. I've been looking for a slightly older Stainless Spyderco Police. By that, I mean one that only has holes drilled and tapped for right hand, tip down carry. I want to do some engraving on the steel handles, and the 4-position ones are kinda unsightly IMO. Anyone know a reliable seller to buy one from?

Yeah. It's good for lefties, but not super aesthetically pleasing. Most shops online that carry them are still using a picture of the older Police, which is a tad confusing.

The change first appeared in the 2013 catalog and may actually go back further. I suspect that most, if not all, discounters will have the newer version unless they fail to rotate their stock. So, if you want to buy from a dealer, your bet would be someone with slower turnover - a brick and mortar shop or an internet seller that charges near MSRP prices. The other option would be to buy from an individual, on the forums or eBay. The alternative is to buy the current version and plug the holes.

Thanks! I sent them an e-mail, and they do indeed carry the slightly older Police model.
