My SS Fully Serrated, VG-10 Police finally arrived today.
It's been a while since I've seen the Police up close and personal but wow is this a nice looking knife. I suppose G-10 is more practical but sometimes you just want a pretty face as the brushed stainless steel.
So far, so good. No blade scraping against the scales, or any other disappointments. The only thing is that the action is still a bit stiff (perhaps firm is a better word) and needs some break in. Therefore, one handed opening is a bit strenuous. I did give it a few drops of oil.
It's a comfortable knife to hold. I have medium sized hands but I could see where the Military may be more comfortable for those with bigger hands.
All in all, sw-e-et. I can see why this is Spyderco's trademark knife...but a little intimidating.
I can't get over it's size. It probably looks larger than it is but I put it next to my BM 710 (another 4" blade knife). The Police actually towers over the 710 since it has a bit more length if you count the exposed part of the tang + the longer handle.
For some reason it seems to exude the same kind of danger and "bad boy" image as a pearl-handled straight edge razor! Definitely not a knife to take out to slice an apple at a church social! Or else, you'll get this look -->
