Did you just get that one, Jill? It's beautiful and I really like the hybrid saber grind on the blade. She looks brand new!

I believe the original Police had a more blocky handle than that. I was surprised how the edges of the handle were more beveled when I went to buy another to replace the one I had lost. Maybe I'm just not seeing it right in this picture.

Oh, and did you just freshly cut that post to make it more suited to taking knife pictures?

No, I cut that with a chain saw last year, so I can set up to 3 knives up to shoot.
See it's been done awhile......

You are right about that. Here is a pic with a first generation Police in the middle.

I didn't mean it was the very first model, I meant it was the original steel.
That one in the picture was purchased by my Dad in 1997.
