Nope, not at all. Really, my thing with the Police model is it has “POLICE” emblazoned on the blade in pretty big letters. Totally legit if you’re a cop, just not sure if my non-sworn self looks like a knife afi or a poser holding something like that.
The Military model has no such lettering and I happily own/carry/use one of those.
Found an Amazon gift card I forgot about. Had a sudden urge to buy something that goes choppychoppy, slashyslashy, stabbystabby.

Nicey nicey!
My Spyderco Native has been riding with me for about four years and has proven to be perfect for my EDC needs.
The lightweight Police doesn't have the name on the blade, in case you didn't know.

There's nothing civil about this war.
Pardon me while I drool all over the keyboard... that's a hell of CPK collection!
My Dad is indeed wise, and very generous. He's a collector as well, and is is very much into HI Kukris and CPK knives among other things. He has a similar assortment of CPK's. Though he prefers the lighter-color blade finishes and the wood.
While he excitedly shares & shows off his latest acquisitions every time I go visit, I'm embarrassed to say I have a hard time keeping up with all the different models. He does have a CPK boot dagger that I deeply covet (I'm told every CPK enthusiast covets those, and I'm not surprised) as well as another rare model called the Shiv. I suspect you're an Smod on a forum he frequents
He gave me two CPK's before that 2019 deployment; the Utility Fighter that became a constant companion, and a Heavy Duty Field Knife. The UF fit in another old sheath I had which made it much easier to carry than the Kydex it came in. So the Utility Fighter was perfect for almost-daily carry and could still hide under my OCP uniform.
I'll have to snap some pictures of both when I get a chance!
