Okay, it's time for an update:
Over the last year or so I have strayed from the G-10 Police several more times, ever in search of something better.
I carried the Benchmade 551 plain-edge Griptilian for a while (it is an awesome knife, but I can't get used to that hollow feeling and hollow sounding handle).
And then I discovered the Native III.
The Native III is one of Spyderco's best designed knives IMO.
It is small and light-weight, so it's the one that I carry when I'm wearing very light clothing or out jogging or at the gym.
But I still found myself craving G-10 and a longer blade.
And that brought me right back to my G-10 Police.
Of all the knives that I own and all the knives that I've seen at shops and shows and online, I can't find any knife that I like better than the G-10 Police.
The only knives that I'm currently considering are the Spyderco SS Police and an Al Mar micarta handle lockback.
One of the greastest things about the G-10 Police is that, even though it has a long blade and a long handle, it can be used with amazing precision.
It does'nt handle like a large knife.
It is long, sleek, elegant, and strong, and makes many other knives I have used feel downright clumsy and awkward.
So far, it is still "THE ONE".
Cheers,
Allen.
