count me in for either. (2011BLDR)

The Military is a perfect knife and needs no upgrades, beyond keeping the sprints and exclusives rolling out at a good pace ( min 1 per year). All the changes some want are already in the PM2 .. leave the Military as is.

Last time that happened to me was on a CPM D2 Foliage green G10 Military.. I was lucky as they had the last batch of CPM Crueware Gray G10 Military's that hadn't shipped yet so i was able to use the credit on that.

I've just always preferred the Military or Manix2 to the Para Military. I was considering this only because of the M4 I love that steel but just don’t carry my KW exclusive due to the weight of the Ti. The announcement of the military version from them placed me firmly in the pass mode. I also think...

Right with you on this.

I am fine with the current status of the Military and Manix2 being the folding mules.

I think alot of us are buying at least a couple of these, I know I want a user and at least one back up. I'd be torn too David with the chipping, I guess it doesn't really matter if it's a user but your right about spending the coin and expecting no flaws.it would suck to send it back and not be ab...

Did we ever hear why this one got Carbon Fiber scales? All the previous knives with Carbon Fiber scales have been some of the best of the super steels. As far as I know, 52100 isn't in that class of steel. No I dont agree. The first CF Sprint Military was with S30V as a trial run befor that steel w...

KC Order shipped...

My KC Pre-order from 11/12/15 is updated to in stock and paid. The charge on my CC is pending. Looks like if you pre-orderd early you will get it. in the end KC is the only place that still takes early Pre-orders, I just wish they would set a limit that matches their expected share of the total spri...

I had my KC Pre-order in on 11/12/15.. when I called on Friday I was #6 on "the List" ..when I called today I was told they cant see where you are on "the List".. No shipping or CC activity yet..I would hope that they are able to ship Pre-orders in the order they are placed.. luc...

I am in for 2, I carry one of my Military sprints/ exclusives every day. BG-42 /CF S90V / CF M4 / Ti & G10 CTS-XHP / Brown G10 M390 / CF S90V / Blue G10 CRUWEAR / Gray G10 (3) I had the D2 / FG G10 sprint until I lost it to a manufacturing defect on a trip back to Spyderco. They found crack in t...

I think we are within 30 days of this being released, BBS started taking prepayment in full last week on their web sight (at MSRP) this is an indication that they expect stock within 30 days.

I will pass for now, I have mixed feelings on S90V all 3 examples of it I have are different from each other: Military S90V / CF sprint will not hold a polished edge I sent it back to have the heat-treat checked and the edge reground, it came back with a much steeper edge grind and now I only micro ...

Define perfectly centered:

Looks to be with my eye ?
OR
Measured with a precision instrument?

I just measured a Cruweare Milatary that looks perfect to my eyeball but measures off by .007 of an inch.

I think it could have an affect on prices, but if they are selling now for $200+ they may well hit $300 not too far from now. By releasing them in small batches it allows the flippers better than even chances to get them and that reduces the number that us enthusiasts can buy. Judging by how many h...

This is the BBS business model it has worked for them in the past on the M4 Manix 2 and the M390 P2. Additionally it defeats the flippers they cannot buy up 4 sell 2 at double and end up with 2 free. Guaranteed the $155 CruWare Military will be just like the last few sprints, up on the secondary mar...
