Hi Sal! If you made a 5 inch blade Police model with the handle-forward design, I'd buy one plus several backups. It has the potential to be my perfect pocket knife!The model is actually a test to see actual preference for a "Finger-Choil" design, or a "Handle Forward" design.
Chance for stainless handles, maybe?
Hi XJ-Linux,
The plan is for G-10. SS scales would be heavy.

Agreed.I'd buy a 5 inch police model with the handle forward design. Tired of choils.
I'm partial to 3v, cruwear, and/or magnacut. That's what I'd prefer, but since it's spyderco I'd give vg10 a shot.
Ooh, yeah, a 5" Police in PD#1 would be s'wonderful.I sold off nearly all my folders with blades over 3.5"...but I'd consider "coming out of retirement" for a 5" G10 Police, particularly a no-choil version. Fingers crossed for a coated option, and then crossed again for an eventual Cru-Wear/Micro-Melt PD#1 version.![]()
I knew a Chris (who was a retired Sheriff) from California …who moved to Texas!!I like big knives, I must say, and would love a 5" Police. I carried one in my years at the Sheriffs dept. I actually carried about 4 of them, and was on my 4th, all stainless and all SE before they had screws on the body. When they say don't do stupid things like using them a pry bar they really mean it. You would have thought I would have learned the 1st time, nope... Then there was the lost one somewhere out in a field, and I left when I was carrying my 4th. I have almost all the Military 2 knives now, because I am not a huge fan of the back lock, I really like the compression lock and large knives, but if it was changed it would be a Police. I would purchase one just to have.
