Police

I just picked up a Police in a plain edge with G-10 handles. The knife was on sale for 50% off, new with red Spyderco box. I was out the door for 83.00. I'm not sure if it was a good deal. Blade is ATS 55? What is ATS 55? How did I do.

Thanks
TJ

You did really well, for a hard to get Spydie!

I hate you

Okay, that's a tad severe. Let's just say I'm a touch jealous. I've been watching the g10 Polices on ebay, and recently, nib PE models have been fetching better than $200.

So yes, you did rather well. Congrats :thumbup:


As for ATS-55, it's a very decent (in my opinion,) high-carbon stainless. Perhaps not quite as good as the newer VG-10, but still a strong contender. It's one of my favorites. Good, hard working steel that's fairly easy to sharpen.
