Hopefully both will be made! The handle forward design should have 1/2 inch “more” cutting edge!Reviewed the Police 4 model again, and I remember it has the just-right-for-Sal's-hand handle design. Which sadly doesn't work for me, and I have eventually parted ways with every knife like that, even after attempts to mod to my preferences. So I know, upon reflection, that I'd pass on the Police on the left. If they made the one on the right (or the 5" blade analog thereof), I'd buy two or more, and it would replace my modded Resiliences as my main EDC folders.

Thanks for the link. This was an interesting thread. I would definitely be interested in a 3.5"+ folder with thinner bladestock, I'm guessing it would perform like a slicier and more neutral Manix. Sounds awesome.Don’t think I ever started a thread or mentioned anything about the potential Chaparral XL. Another larger version of a proven design! I’d most certainly take one of those too! https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=98042
Same here. I have been carrying a Police 4 for a month or so, and I like it quite a bit more than I did at first. I'm still looking forward to a Police with a 5" blade (and hopefully G-10 grips).I too was thinking about this today as I held my police 4 lw
