The pivot rivet finishing is excellent and completely invisible.<br \/>\nThis example is the part serrated version, but it also comes in a fully serrated or full plain edge blade.<br \/>\n<img

Model &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><br \/>\nImmediately unmistakably Spyderco, with the G10 handle scales, pocket clip and opening hole, the Military is a good sized folder.<br \/>\nUnlike the Police model, the Military can be taken apart, with the G10 handle scales bolted together and a pivot bolt. Also unlike the Police model, the Military has only the one clip position (tip-down right handed).<br \/>\nRecessed into the G10 handles are minimal steel liners and the Military uses a liner lock. Just to drive home that point about &#8216;minimal&#8217; steel liners, this is what allows for the light weight yet still strong construction. The liner on the non-lock side just goes from handle bolt to handle bolt to the pivot (supporting the stop pin as well). The other partial liner is larger as it includes the lock bar.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p>In this case the serrated part of the Police model (the plain edge part was sharpened before the imaging device was ready) and the edge of the Military model.<\/p>\n<p>These two edges are outstanding and will the standard by which others are judged!<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-10936 .fg-image { width: 150px;

The G10 handles of the Military make for a different weight distribution plus fill the hand more. Of the two, the Military is definitely the more comfortable and easy to have a very secure grip of.

also gives you all four possible clip positions (or five if you count &#8211; &#8216;no clip&#8217;) so there isn&#8217;t any limitation of the clip position. Although that said, this current version is missing a lanyard hole if you wanted one of these.<br \/>\nFor my own purposes, I have moved the clip from the factory position to tip-up and right handed.<\/p>\n<p>Of course for edge maintenance, especially considering the serrated edge on the Police model, the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharp Maker (also pictured above) is ideal and easy to use.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Police and Military models do have a very pointy blade tip, the Police being the slightly pointier of the two. It makes them very aggressive at penetrating, and for anyone more used to a drop point or other less eager blade tip might find them unwieldy or difficult to control. You certainly need to use great care where depth of cut matters, and the long blade can make this control all the more difficult. You will get used to it, but it does need care and consideration when wielding these super capable blades.<\/p>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
