Don't worry it is an old genuine Military from early production. :bug-red-white
I'll take you expert opinion on that !
I was a little skeptical because of the misspell on the clip (foriegn instead of foreign).
Any idea where I could find replacement screws for it ?

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

This got here yesterday evening. Looking for replacement screws or scales as soon as I confirm it's a genuine article (was too cheap not to risk it)
It's the top one, an old C36 in SE.

Help identifying an old Millie

Howdy folks ! So, I got this presumably old Military from a seller. It arrived today, and I need help confirming whether it is or is not a genuine item. I'm covered if it's not ;) https://files.catbox.moe/rbyyvx.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/mjv0q2.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/ap7lie.jpg https://file...

Still on a sci-fi binge, currently finishing Vernor Vinge's A fire upon the deep; and next up is Jeff Van Der Meer's Southern Reach trilogy.
Slowly cutting down my 20+ reading list before I make new purchases haha

Re: Old school Military screws

Nice to see you again! Noticed you hadn't been around, good to have you back. Nothing to add, just wanted to say hello haha. Haha thanks, it's been quite the hiatus with work and life, but I got the spark back when I saw that knife. I'll let y'all know how it goes when it gets here. Plenty of stuff...

Old school Military screws

Spyderco family ! European forum member here, back after a long hiatus. I just purchased an old serrated Millie for a steal, because it's missing two spine screws. Does anyone know if the size is the same as the newer ones, so I can purchase replacements ? Attached are pictures of the actual knife. ...

Would love to order some for myself, $45 shipping is a bit steep, I'll wait next mule :D For me : Finally caved in for a Native Chief.

Re: We need more Millie’s

I've been hounding second-hand websites and official dealers for C36s for a good 8 months. While I have the M4, I'd like to buy another S30V at least, and would love to see a Magnacut, LC200N, or K390 model. Just no CF or Micarta. Another iteration of the SE in stainless would be a miracle, but let ...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

I had a rather unpleasant experience with the Rex 45 Chief this afternoon. Considering the rain and humidity of the next 4+ months, I decided to force a patina on it. Same as M4, a 1-hour soak in a mix of white and apple cider vinegar did the trick. Nice cloudy finish, looks almost sand-blasted. Put...

No screaming or growling lyrics here, just some insanely fast and heavy music from these 3. Pretty intense!

Re: Good Jeans

I've been a fan of 501 button fly jeans for a while. They're worn from 5 to 7 days a week barring work site attire. I usually buy them second hand so I can find some that were well made (in EU; France, Belgium and Spain had good plants; U.S. and Canada are close contenders) but I go through a couple...
