Mid size Police / Rookie?

[6leafdom]

does spyderco have any plans on producing a mid side knife for the Police / Rookie series? around 3.5" blade. so right between the rookie and police.

[SmoothOne25]

why not a caly 3.5? :D

[6leafdom]

i love the spear point blade on the police and rookie

Its called the Endura.

I think the appeal of the Police model was its long blade.

I don;t understand the Rookie, really.

Whats makes a Police, a Police is the long slender blade. :D

Yep, it's the Endura. I think a swedge on the Endura 4 would be a nice addition.

I friggin hate that swedge.
Police III is the only Police for me :D

I got my hands on a used SS Police for $40 (!), resanded the handle to get rid of all the scratches, and sold it for $100.

Just couldn't bring myself to like the blade grind.

I agree...

If you nabbed one of the recent G-10 Endura's then you pretty much got the knife you were asking for

Oh yeah!
I love my Police III.
One **** of a tactical knife.

Indeed, when I think of the Police model, I instantly see a long blade (and wickedly serrated too)

Were you the one who bought that Police from ZippoThisKnifeThat?

same thing with the rookie....a long blade in a very small package


Have you seen the side by side pic of a rookie and the paramilitary, very impressive how much blade you get

As noted, the Rookie packs a lot of blade into a small, light space.

What I don't understand is: why make this little beauty without choil -- and, especially, without jimping? IMO, this seriously reduces the usability of this otherwise excellent knife.

I like the Rookie as is. Frankly, I'd be interested in another knife the same size, but with double liners. Either G10 or carbon fiber would be nice.

A Police is not a Police if it doesn't have teeth and a swedge grind.

That's what I keep telling, but they won't listen! :rolleyes:

Nope! Got mine from a customer who passed by my store. He wanted to get rid of it. Asked for $50. I didn't really want it, so countered with $40, and voila! I carried it for a couple weeks. Its okay, I just cant get used to SS handles. I put a mirror polish on the handles, but it smudged way to fast, so I sanded it with three grits of sand paper to a really nice brushed look.

A few days later, another customer saw it, and offered me $100.

A short lived life in my pocket, but my best Spyder story so far!
