It's the only "large" folder that does not feel overly large in my hands.
I agree with this so much. Police and military got sold within days of trying them out as just way oversized for me. Chief has been goldilocks "just right" from day one. I have quite small hands (glove small) and where the police or military feel like "pocket swords", the chief feels like a large but reasonable knife. It's an amazing design for me.
Have you ever tried the Resilience? I got one in the mail today and it feels closer to the Chief than the Police. I always imagined it being bigger with how everyone talks about it.

I am looking forward to trying the upcoming S35VN Resilience with 4.2" of cutting edge and no choil. :D :D :D

I own both and prefer the Police. I find the blade geometry to be better, and have yet to find a large folder with such great cutting geometry.

No I haven't, in fact I haven't tried a tenacious yet either, though that is very high on my list. You just bumped resilience up to the top as well, thanks Vivi :D
