Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

When playing around with my M2, PM2 and P3 I get the strange feeling that either the PM2 or the Para3 is obsolete in the line up for my liking :thinking

until the M2 came out i used the P3 or Endura a lot, but now with the M2 Crucarta ... the PM2s are drifting more and more into the background, I ...

Re: Military VS Police


Hi Vivi,

Interesting thread and great pictures. Thanx.

Since they are both my designs, I'll be watching the thread.

I should add that the mods to the Military to become the Military 2 were Erics's input.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?



The G10 is an awesome scales material but the Carbon Fiber/ G10 that Spyderco's have is really extra nice in your paw, least I like it.

This is not the G10/CF laminate, these are full carbon fiber scales, no liners 🤗 Love the contoured scales!

Re: Stretch 2 xl In K390 At Last!

For some reason I have 5 Millies in front of me :thinking 2xgen 1 and 3xGen 2.
Lets compare how straight they are on the edge.

Stretch 2 XL K390

Military gen1 (the S110V Gen 1 looks slightly better but still round and not much of a flat section)

Re: Para 3 LW 15V - 3 disappointments, or unrealistic expectations?


Visible grind lines on a $200 knife is ridiculous. I would exchange that. That should be sold as B stock.


exactly, would be not acceptable for me, just checked my 15v Millie which arrived today. Looks good, no belt grind markings. Shouldn't have these ...
I can overlook smal issues on the edge ...

Re: Stretch 2 xl In K390 At Last!


A LW salt XL stretch is an instant buy for me. The stretch XL is just a Millie is sheep’s clothing anyway 🥸😜


Just got the Stretch 2 xl in k390 with 2 Military 2 (Cru Wear, 15V) in the box as well and the first thing I thought was exactly that. The Stretch XL ist just like the Military, a tiny ...

Re: PM2 compression lock issue after disassembly

It is a bit better, now. I changed to the G10 scales and it was ok. Moved back to the micarta ones and as Michael points out it seems the machining is not as deep as on the G10's. Not by much but, yeah . .. solution was to not tighten the 2 scale screws on the compression side as much.
It's working ...

Re: PM2 compression lock issue after disassembly

PM2 compression lock issue after disassembly

hi,

I've got some new micarta scales for my PM2 and disassembled the knife and put the new scales on.
Now, I adjusted the blade that it runs smooth when opened and is in the middle when closed. However, I feel a stronger resistance from the locking ball when opening the blade, also when closing ...

Re: PM2 Micarta Cruwear aftermarket backspacers

once I saw some scales on Etsy for the Micarta PM2 but I didn't bookmark it ... I think it was some TI scales if remember correct.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

****, just saw there is a new M2 ... I am shocked, sadness fills me to see the unique Military design transform into just another xyzMilitary knife :crying-face

I might get over the compression lock but a basic standard clip? holes drilled everywhere to make tip up/down and diagonal user happy ...

Re: Miliray sprint runs?

Thank you for the welcome and the update :)
A millie in CPM-4V sounds sweet. I will keep an eye on St Nick's page.

Would also like to see a new one with CF Scales ... I would be all in :grin-big eyes

Miliray sprint runs?

Hi,

I am a huge fan of the Military and was looking for new exclusive sprint runs ... Are there any around the corner?
Seems in these days there is more focus on the ParaMil 2 or the Para 3 from the military line ...

Cheers
Patrick
