CPM M4 Millie

Tip Down is the only way to carry large knives if you value ease of opening. I can go either way on smallish knives, but I do agree with the comfort factor that tip up provides that smoother part of the knife towards your incoming hand. But join the club of carrying IWB or back pocket and that issue...

The Tenacious is a good all arounder. The ergonomics are great, blade grind is good, steel is respectable and very easy to sharpen. I would have no problem relying on it for EDC, camping, tough utility, mechanic work, etc... and I have done exactly that with it when I carried it more. Lock design mi...

My spyderco military... Years later. http://i.imgur.com/offxZBH.jpg I honestly can't remember when I got this, does anyone remember when the m4 Millie finally was released? Anyways, it has been by far my most used knife since I've had it, its just perfect when you need a real working knife of decent...

I would love to see an M4 Millie or PM2 sprint.

Your wish is my command

I like tip up. A lot.

Tip down is the only way to carry a large knife like the Millie, though. Tip up makes no sense unless you really enjoy awkward repositioning of your hands to start the opening process.

So in the case of that rust, what's the best way to go about its removal? I like the idea of strong high carbon steels but I'm not sold on the idea my beloved knives will rust. I think that's because I'm not knowledgable on caring for these non-stainless knives yet. That miniscule amount of rust wo...

Salt is also lighter, but has a more resilient grind and tip. So gotta weigh out which of these traits is desirable.

Personally I love the ffg blade with that thin tip, and I have no need of rust resistance. But I also prefer the liner less lightweight construction of the salt.

What is upgraded about it?

That's your definition of "rusts like crazy".

http://i.imgur.com/1FdkTY9.jpg As much as I'm pro gun, I'm very anti using fantastical claims to prove the merit of the great equalizers. I have to agree that there are a host of reasons we have not been invaded, and an armed population must rank very far down that list. I'd much rather point to th...

Can't argue with you there!! I do however wonder how that M-4 Mili would stack up against my CTS-XHP Military model?? Or is that a fair question to ask? I"m sure they are both super. To me Spyderco's Military model is their answer to the Buck model 110. I can't think of any folder that would outper...

My go to outdoor, camping, hiking knife was the cpm m4 military.

Standard clips are better for carrying and retrieving. I have nothing to , so deep carry is just a pain.

Dark clips get scratched up. I don't really mind this, I like a knife with patina, but that's a negative to some people...

My favorite clip is probably the shiny, curved clip on my ti/g10 Millie.

In my personal experience I have often been enamored with a new knife very strongly in the first few weeks, thinking it could be "the one" only to go back to another model after more carry time... So I'm not sure I'd trust just my own first week instincts. Of course, ymmv. Then again, the Delica is ...
