Military or Police

[prigger]

I know I'm gonna rile some people, but I just want to hear what thoughts are of both as a comparison. I got a Police in G-10 handles(w/ flat grind), and a plain 440V Military(older model). Differences of opinion on the locking mechanisms, materials used, finishes on the blades & hardware.
Rate everything on a 1-10 scale if you want.

Having owned both knives(I still own the Military older model) I must say my personal favorite is the Military, hands down.
First, I will say my Police model was the stainless model so I can't rate handle to handle, although I do prefer the G10.
Next, as for the locking mechanism, I give the liner lock a 10. Thats not to say the locking system on the Police is not good, I just prefer the liner-lock for convenience and strength.
Now lets talk about blade steel. No comparison. The 440-V leaves all others wanting. 'Nuff said!
I like the satin finish of the Military, although the finish on the Police is not bad either, I just prefer the look of the Military.
What can I say? I am a "Military Man" through and through.
