I wish!

Anyone know a person who could make me a ZDP189 blade for my Spyderco Police? I bought one and love it but I much prefer ZDP189 to VG10.
 
I've often dreamed about such a knife. Likewise M2 at RC64-66, or 10V or BG42 at RC62 Yeah, a BG42 police! What a concept! Joe
 
BG42 would suffice. As it is I have a hard time deciding whether to carry my BG42 Millie, Police 3, or both. :)
 
I've been procrastinating on the Police 3. Just got the Captain, and bought the Superhawk a while ago, either one easily could have been the Police 3.
I guess the problem for me is that the Police 3 is just another spectacular Spyderco that would make choosing knives for EDC that much harder. Ever since the S90V Military I have a hard time justifying anything that I know can't live up to the fully rounded masterpiece it is. It's like trying to convince yourself that you'd be fine with the 911 Carrera instead of the 911 Turbo.
If, however, the Police 3 were to be infused with some ZDP-189, the high alloy addict in me would give in without hesitation.
 
I'm loving my ZDP-189 Endura with a G10 handle. It's my dream knife.

I think a flat-ground Endura in S90V with a G10 handle would be pretty spiffy.
 
If you find someone please let me know. I've been trying to find someone to replace the ZDP-189 blade in a Stretch II with some Odin's Eye or Hakkapelitta Damasteel.

Well don't let your alloy addiction get in the way of a very great knife. The Police has sold well for roughly 20 years for good reason...and those reasons were just improved with the Police 3. :):cool:

Given that I'm the same age as the original Police, it's almost more likely that I'll get one of those first. I like the simplicity of the design as well.
 
I just want carbon fiber handles. VG-10 or ZDP-189; either would be fine with me.
 
I posted a while back that I would like to see a BG-42 Version also with CF Slabs.

I would say..........bring it on. bg42 carbon fiber Police 3! If you folks have yet to get one of the Police 3's, go get one! I like it that much. I edc a pair daily on duty!:thumbup:
 
My S90V millie is such a wonderful knife, I don't know if a Police 3 could compare (as it currently is). I like the G-10, slightly longer blade, and 4 way clip a lot better then the SS Police. :thumbup: Spyderco for that.

Maybe keep the G-10, and give it a D2 blade? Maybe something hardened to Rc 63-66? It's a thinner blade (I think, I'm still waiting to buy one. :) ) so it's obviously not going to be used in an abusive fashion (I would think.)
