I don’t have a great need for fixed blades. But I don’t think I can resist serrated cruwear.

J

It’s been a while, I said if the Millie’s grow teeth again I’ll buy em…. So I picked up a CE Mille 2.
Thoughts so far.. impressive knife, top notch fit and finish ( with the exception of stripped clip screws … really??)
Now I usually get a bit excited when I have a new Millie in my pocket. This one ...

Finally an SE Millie will exist again... I might have to stock up this time . Let's hope I don't hate the millie 2! The original SE Millie is my all time Favourite.

... just ye old 440v can be a pain in the behind to sharpen.

Long time Millie user here. If access to the comp lock works with rigging gloves on I’ll entertain buying one. If it comes serrated I’ll definitely buy one!

While all those folk calling for deeper carry and tip up have had their wish’s granted, i think they’ll literally need some **** deep pockets ...

I never realised how much I’d gotten used to them until I picked up the light weight Police…. No lanyard hole took me by surprise, am tempted to drill one out.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the full SE 154CM Manix 2. It wasn’t around for long, but the serration pattern looked perfect. I never got near trying one out.

J

Mine showed up a couple of days ago.

Im loving it. I’ve always enjoyed using Ed’s designs, they work real well for me.
I missed out on the original Tuff from lack of funds back then, So Im glad I managed to snag one this time around.

This is my first time with cruwear too. It’s taken anything I ...

If it hasn't been mentioned already, The original Fred Perrin Street Beat needs to make a come back.

.... however there is a little early xmas present en route to me which should easily make that ...

FWIW Handtools.com still has both s30V and S110v in stock. Site looks dodgey as ****. But these guys came through for me a couple years ago with the Superblue Caly jr sprint when none else hand them in stock.

cheers J

Nice thread… just bought myself an early Xmas present.

Cheers J

I never understood why the Caly Jr was discontinued.
Was one of my very first Spyderco's, sadly I lost my original but these days I carry the Super blue sprint. It is still my prefect small knife. Ive always wanted to my get hands on a original large Calypso too... and that large Lum Chinese.

A ...

This Ayoob campaign of yours JD is probably the only reason I’m still popping in here. If there’s an an SE sprint I’ll get behind it… and the Ayoob is a no brainer. I was pissy about the last Ayoob sprint being PE, but hey I don’t think I had any cash at the time anyway.

I’m looking forward to ...

This has been occupying my pocket for last few weeks...

My Millies...
SE 440V x3
CF M390
M4 Ti RIL
S90V Ti RIL
Rex 45

Now Im not hanging out so much for sprints these days. But please bring back the SE Millie. My SE's are true workhorses, but given their age , they have seen much better days. I'd buy another two SE Millies tomorrow if I could!

As ...

On a similar note, I'd like to see a reverse S blade given the Superhawk treatment. But serrated of course!
Thinking a Super Matriach :)

J

An SE Ayoob is number one on my hit list. Would definitely buy one maybe two. The PE I'd have to think about it first.

J

A Millie 2.... with comp lock.

Sounds good as long I can still close it one handed with any style of gloves on. Rigging gloves, cold weather gloves, even HD freezer gloves are all good to go with the normal millie! None of these can I operate a para.

J

Nice to see someone educating the masses EVIL D!
My personal pet peeve is the average knife user instinctively using serrated knifes like a saw...

As you pointed out not all serrations are created equal, my personal preference are relatively shallow serrations with slightly rounded tips. I find ...
