I just can't bring myself to buy the Military with all of its deficiencies. :confused: That's alright mate, don't buy it! :confused: I won't! Not sure if you have one, or if you handled the CQIed one, but you are missing out. As far as larger folders go, there is nothing out there that compares. Si...

For all the military fans see this special offer on a sprint run

Using the whole, "if my son was a soldier what knife would i want him to have" blah blah blah, i would appreciate a little more robust design and would be willing to sacrifice a couple of ounces for additional strength. I'd rather have a slightly heavier tool that works than a lighter one...

That's not a Military 2, it's a completely different knife. some models are up to #2, #3, # etc, that they are no longer the same knife that started out as and have significant improvements. while their have been some minor improvements on the military they are not significant. It's been so long wi...

I have one manix 2 and manix 2 XL, both are awesome, highly recommend them both.

The Military is meant to be "a high performance lightweight folder designed for hard use". Is that the "hype" you are referring to? There is a saying in the Military, "Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain." Weight is an important design criteria of this model. The...

I won't!

The most common issues people have with the Military are the lack of pocket clip movements and the liner lock; these are the 2 issues for me as well, I would prefer a compression lock and tip up option. However I don't see these issues as deficiencies, just little nit picks. The Military is awesome...

Did you guys hear about the new Military 2? It's perfection! It has the same perfect blade shape and size but is a little thicker to make it sturdier (especially the tip) for tactical use and the same enlarged spydie hole for ease of deployment. The blade steel is something that is the perfect balan...

Do I cancel the pre-order or do I just let it ride and end up with 2 police 4's? I like it that much. One for carry, one for the ...

I am still waiting on my pre-order but I found it available/ordered/already received from another source. Do I cancel the pre-order or do I just let it ride and end up with 2 police 4's? I like it that much. One for carry, one for the safe. I am still hoping for the military 2 with and updated lock ...

Next year? That's hard to believe considering they were waiting to go through QC a month ago. Sal said they want to space out the new releases so there's been a delay but another 4+ months??? I doubt it. It would be just so much easier if Sal would just let us know what the release schedule is. The...

I am tempted to pre-order the Police 4 K390 from a trustworthy source. I contacted a them and they said the spyderco rep said it would be next year before it was released. Has anyone had any negative experience with pre-ordering a long lead item or undetermined delivery date item? Is there any signi...
