Spyderco Police Model™ Knife

It was a warm summer evening. Me and my good friend had booked a summer cabin in the heart of Finland for the week, to do some work remotely. As it happens, the place had quite an extensive entertainment setup, which is not at all that common. So the cinema screen was down and the only thing left was to choose what to watch. HBO says Training Day – yeap that’s the one. A particular scene in the movie prompted us up from the couch, and it was Denzel’s Spyderco. This exact one. For the specs & the rest, see below.

Spyderco’s Police Model was developed in the early 1980’s in response to requests from law enforcement officers who wanted a slim, easy-to-carry folder capable of serious cutting performance. The result was the Police Model—one of the most enduring and iconic folding knives ever produced.

The knife features a satin-finished stainless steel handle with chamfered edges for maximum comfort during use. This handle construction provides substantial heft and a solid foundation for the knife’s sturdy back lock mechanism, which features a Boye Dent to prevent unintentional lock release during use. Its blade is hollow ground from VG-10 stainless steel blade has a dramatic swedge (unsharpened bevel) for acute point geometry.

This model features a SpyderEdge™ and includes the Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, reliable, one-handed opening. A four-position hourglass clip completes the package, supporting tip-up or tip-down carry on both sides of the body and making the carry, deployment, and operation of this remarkable knife completely ambidextrous.
