Iconic Design. Proven Performance. Trusted Since the '80s.

Born from the needs of law enforcement professionals in the early 1980s, the Spyderco Police Model stands as one of the most enduring tactical folders in knife history. Its slim form and robust cutting capability quickly earned it a spot on belts and in pockets around the world. Decades later, it remains a symbol of function, reliability, and understated strength.

Featuring a satin-finished VG-10 stainless steel blade with dramatic swedge and hollow grind geometry, the Police Model excels at precision cutting. Chamfered stainless steel handle scales give this knife a substantial feel in hand, while the back lock with a Boye Dent adds confident security during use. It deploys via Spyderco’s iconic Round Hole and carries with versatility thanks to its four-position hourglass clip.
