I regret never getting an Urban wharncliffe when I had the chance.

Wow, that's very thin after the regrind. It's very impressive that you didn't have any edge damage beyond normal wear. When I finally decide to get one, it'll be sent out for a 0.010" or so regrind.

Jim, what was the thickness behind the edge before the regrind? And after?

Definitely looks like the color of the waved Delica/Endura, especially when next to the BRG and gray.

Typically 3: a ZDP Dragonfly in my front left, a larger one hander in my front right and a Vic classic on my keys.

I use 10 weight and have mixed feelings. It's okay, but I'm not totally sold.

I kick myself every time I remember passing up on many an Urban wharncliffe. I'd just like another standard run of orange G10 and wharncliffe blade.

I love the Millie just the way it is. Tip up for large knives does not work for me, so the tip down only isn't an issue. The lock also hasn't been an issue; both of mine are solid as can be and equally smooth.

I'm down for BG42, but you can keep the lettering off of mine.

Despite the Techno's thick spine, it's ground thin. It cuts well for a 4.5mm blade.

Any info on how that is done? Looks great.

Are you sure you're hitting the edge? Color the bevel with a sharpie and make a few swipes on the rod. If it's not removing the sharpie at the very edge, you'll have to change the angle of your sharpening or re-profile it.

I've been carrying an Eagletac D25C for about a month now. I love it. Although, it runs on a CR123/16340.

My CC was charged this morning. Woohoo!

KC definitely took PayPal, Chuck. I used it for the deposit on my M390 Millie. Also, I put my pre order in on 2-19-12. No word for me yet.

Nothing on my front. I bet I won't be until the next batch.

Fake. Looks like it's trying to be a Techno with a flipper.

Our hands are pretty much the same size. I find the Manix 2 to be very comfortable. It's just too bad that I broke the cage on my 154CM version. At least I still have my BD30P sprint.

Like Chuck said, a few of us had some iffy jumping on our M390 Millies. I forgot about it until I saw this thread.

My S30V Para 2 was used and carried almost exclusively for about a year and haven't had any tip issues. My XHP Para 2 also hasn't had any issues. But then again, I don't pry with my knives or stab the tip into hard materials.
