Spyderco "Blurple" Military... S110V!

I started carrying a Military back in 1997... the screws rusted from my hand sweat... they were black, and soon turned redish...

I sold that one, and got a newer version with Stainless Steel screws... never had a problem with rusty screws again...

and, the only non-stainless steel knife I own is ...

What I dream about i.e. Spyderco variations...

1) Spyderco Military with Fluted Carbon Fiber Scales... LOVE to see this!

2) Spyderco Military with Natural Micarta Scales... Ditto!

(Ok, I really like the Military Model...)

Thoughts?

Your "dream" variations?

Military S110V
Military S90V
Military S30V
Manix II Lock-back
Chaparral Rafir Noble (Sunday go-to-meeting)

easily over 300... most variations of Military, Paramilitary, and nearly all of the new high-end Spydies...
I have sold off a bunch of my Kershaw and Benchmade knives... just keeping a couple drawers of each (40-50 knives)
I have a considerable number of custom knives, but I always keep adding to ...

I have some funds sitting in my PayPal acct that I am saving for a EuroEdge or two... any word on it's arrival?

the Toad... I have never seen a fake Spyderco Toad...

I carried a FRN Goddard for a couple of years... gave it to a young man going into the Army...

I have a few of the large micarta Goddards - they are amazing knives and cut like demons...

First and foremost: The Military! (I own over 20 variations)

second: The Terzoula Starmate!

I have them all, and I like them all...

the Sage I - for the money - is one of the best Taichung spyderco knives out there...

I still say the Military and Paramilitary are the best knives for the money on the planet!

I have 3 Domino knives... they all flip like a rocket...

hmmm... and the Millie collection keeps growing... woohoo!

I almost always have my PS Military clipped to my front pocket... I have pulled it in self defense twice... both traffic related... once the assailant looked and left, the second time the assailant pulled a long piece of lead pipe and I took off...

I carry my Matriarch and a night-stick when I ...

1984... I had been collecting a few knives (mostly Gerber "Paul" knives) and I was receiving the monthly catalog from Cutlery Shoppe... (wife called it my 'knife porn') and I ordered a CO5 Economy... had that for a while... really wanted a police... finally got an Endura with the integral FRN pocket ...

off and on since 1997 - Military PS - (sometimes replaced with a Manix 2 or a Goddard)

Paramilitary II

probably the best all-around knife that Spyderco makes... or if you like bigger blades... go with the Military...

If you like small blades... the G-10 Dragonfly 2

my 2 cents...

this is my boy Shep... He is a rescue... and he is a loyal friend... He is my buddy ole pal...

I love the looks of the Domino! (I am going to end up divorced... again...)

oh, and after 8 years of daily carry and use, the liner-lock hasn't moved a bit... (love the 'snap' of the liner when it opens!)
