Question for Police 3 Fans

#1

Post by RealKnifeUser »

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if those of you who have a Police 3 have a preference for the Spyderedge or the plain edge on this particular model. I can't get both and haven't seen any comparisons between the two edges on the Police 3. I'm leaning towards SE because it seems to fit the design better, and was wondering if you guys had any experience or info that might sway me one way or the other.

Both are very useful, but there are few full serrated flat ground blades in the lineup. The slight belly makes for a very good cutter, especially in SE. I love them in PE, but if I had to pick one it'd be the SE.

Great knife that doesn't get the exposure it should.

What are you going to use it for?

For potential emergency use (cutting seat belts or something) I'd go with the SE.

For an EDC (and it's a big blade for EDC, so I'm not sure it's appropriate for most people), I'd tend toward PE because it's easier for me to maintain a PE if I'm using it a lot.

I love mine. It's the blade that turned me on to spyderco. Mine's plain edge but that in a serrated blade is flippin scary. I wouldn't want to have to sharpen it though.
