When I first got into Spyderco's the Police 4 really spoke to me. But I couldn't tell though if it was right fit for me. As at the time I was used to much smaller knives and was hesitant on buying such a large knife. I ended up handling a PM2 at the local shop and chose that instead.
Months later I ended up buying a used Police 3 fairly inexpensively. Fell in freaking LOVE with it. My favorite part was just how slim it was and how nice it fit in my pocket. Been in my EDC rotation ever since.
I've been thinking about buying a Native Chief for the last while, but when I saw that the Police 4 is getting canned in 2020 my heart skipped a beat. Suddenly found myself motivated to get the P4...But the price increase has really really shocked me.
I can buy the Native Chief for the same price I USED to be able to buy the P4! The P4 has shot up over $50 Canadian. ( And it's on sale no less)
I'm not afraid to admit I'm way too thrifty to spend the extra money. The new price is a huge turn off.
I can't help wonder did other people feel like me and this is why the P4 is now replaced with a much cheaper LW model? If the p4 went back to the old pricing would it still be selling well?
