What is the largest/longest Spyderco with a SE

#1

Post by mongo1958 »

Hey Y'all,
I've been poking in the Spyderco catalog looking for the largest/longest Spyderco with a 4" SE.
The one I was hoping for was a Military SE but I can't seem to find one.
I know a Military SE was made in the past because David has a photo of it in his SE thread.
The Endura is close to what I want but just shy of the 4" and I still may get one.
If the Szabo, and the Native Chief had a full SE option I'd jump on that Crow on a June bug.
The POLICE 4 shows some promise if I can find one.
Is there something that I'm missing that you know of?
Let me know. EDIT FOLDING KNIFE ONLY.
Thanks and have a blessed Resurrection Day!

Police 4 LW in VG-10 or K390 4.38" (111mm) blade length.
Police in old school SS handles is still available, I believe.
Jumpmaster fixed blade with a 4.48" (114mm) blade length.

Those are the longest I know of, at least.

I forgot to mention that I was looking for a folding knife.
The Police 4 seems like a contender. I did find another one as well, Spyderco Stretch 2 XL FRN (3.92" Satin VG10) C258SBK.

The Stretch 2 XL gets high marks from users here and I likely would have gotten that over the P4 K390 if the S2XL had been released first.

Pretty sure the Police 4 is as big as it gets as far as SE folders go.

I think the Aqua Salt might be biggest SE fixed blade, not counting the Whale Rescue. It's discontinued though so if you can't find one I think the Jumpmaster 2 is next in line.
All SE all the time since 2017

As far as edge length goes, the now discontinued Caribbean SE compares quite favorable to everything except the P4.
I think they are still available at some dealers. I was tempted myself when KC had them on sale recently.

The Aqua Salt looks like a great knife. I have a Ka-Bar in the truck, I may swap it out for the Aqua Salt.
Thanks.

I looked up the Civilian, I don't want a hawk bill shaped blade.
I do appreciate the recommendation.

So far, these are the 2 contenders.
The Stretch has a better price. The P4 is more expensive and has K390 Steel, something that I am not familiar with.

K390 has excellent edge retention but it’s not stainless. My K390 models have not been an issue with rust. It does develop a really nice patina in use though. I don’t oil mine but as long as I dry it well after using it to cut food, etc I do not have any issues with corrosion.

A couple pics of the k390 police. Image quality may not be great but hopefully you can see the patina

Can´t go wrong with the Stretch 2 XL SE imo. A great, extremely lightweight EDC knife.

But if you´re looking for the longest SE edge: It goes without saying that the P4 is the way to go.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Well, I got a tiny bit exiting bonus $$$. Woo Hoo.
I'm not a steel nerd, when I looked up the steels in the 2 knives, each one references the other.
Any way, I went with the P4.😎
