You can find a picture of it here, and the knife itself here.

ATS-34 blade, titanium handle, and despite Ted's picture, you probably want to wear it closed, as it is a real knife.

Paul, I often read from titanium handle on the Police Tie Clip but I've never seen one - have to say that mine has SS handles and ATS-34 blade :)

You are correct Peter. I forgot that the tie clip version is different from the necklace/keychain version.

It's a cool little knife, that my wife loves to wear in her purse, on the rim of one of the dividers inside the purse. I've only managed to open it one-handed once. :D

Some more pics to show the size compared to other LBKs

No that was a mistake on my part. I assumed the Tie Clip Police was built the same way as the Police Necklace. The necklace version has a titanium handle, the tie clip handle is stainless steel. Both have ATS-34 blades.

The blade steel is ATS 34, handle is most likely ss.

Adola in the Netherlands has at least 10 of them still in stock.
It's a wholesale business though, but they can give you an adress of a retailer where you can buy one.

Just for clarification, the tie clip Police and the several tie clip versions of the Spyderkey are real miniature knives and fully functional. The pin backed miniature knives some of which are shown in the picture below are one piece pewter castings. In addition to the ones shown they include at least one replica of the Police.

While most people refer to them as hat pins or badges, some eBay sellers will label them as tie pins.

Or "Lapel Pins". Nice collection by the way! Excellent presentation, is it custom made?

Hey Paul. Neat collection of pins you have there. Do you know if every Spyderco model has a matching pin to go with it? Or is this all of them?

Not every model has a pin.Here is a size comp to a police necklace.

Deacon,What is the pin at the far left?
We would rather be the knife in your pocket, because is "works" better, than the knife in your showcase, because it "looks" better.

That is one of the gold lapel pins that Spyderco Employeers wear at shows and such.

Thanks, it's an inexpensive wooden embroidery hoop with a piece of denim mounted in it. Have to take a new photo one of these days, I've added a Spyderench and a Bi-Fold, plus a really neat little gold Navaja courtesy of Sr. Montejano, to it since that one was taken.
