Spyderco Forums

It has way too much belly for the types of tasks I do. It's also a little hard to remove from the pocket being so low riding. When I have carried it, I've found removing it from the pocket consistently annoying... I like just about everything else though. It's not nearly as chunky or bulky as I exp...

Just got mine yesterday and am lovin it! Is it perfect? Not quite, but nothing that's a deal breaker for me. This knife is solid and beefy and feels like it can take anything you throw at it. It's riding in my RFP and will get a workout this week to see how it does as my edc.

Agreed. Tom was my go-to guy for pretty much any Spyderco I wanted to pre-order. Great guy to do business with and I hope somehow, he gets back in the game. Best wishes for Tom for sure.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it - open slowly and it would engage too early for me. If I put pressure on the spine though, it would seat a little further in. Open it quickly (normally) and it would lock up perfectly. I've been carrying it and using it for a few days now and no matter how...

Mine is absolutely perfect in every way. I honestly can't find one nit to pick with this one. EDIT - I just noticed a little nick on the clip side of the ricasso. I think someone slipped with the grinder. So I guess, other than that one little nit (which does not bother me at all) the knife is perfe...

Currently, my two very favorite steels!

Mmmmmm....Millie in Elmax would be sweet! I only have one Elmax blade and that is my composite ZT 0350. I love that little beast though and have really enjoyed the Elmax steel.

Come on Sal, do it!!

Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

Can't wait. Plus, I have a NIB black Yojimbo headed my way. Scored it in a trade and am soooo happy. I traded off my blue Yojimbo a while back and have regretted it ever since. Now, I will have both versions, in black.

It's available for pre-order from kc right now and I emailed catamount (Tom from spydercovt.com) my pre-order.

Hey Tom, I am LOVING mine!! Edge retention and sharpenability are both top notch in my book. All the claims of it being very close to a stainless CPM-D2 are valid, IMO. I also have millies in S30V, D2, BG-42 and M4. After carrying and using the XHP version, I think it might be my favorite steel so f...

Got my pre-order in for in. With my newly constrained budget, seems like the ONLY knives I buy anymore are sprint/special run Millies (XHP, M4 and now M390). Really looking forward to this one.

ZT's are great for your intended purposes. Relatively inexpensive for what you get as well. I have two 350's (one Elmax composite blade and one satin S30V) and they both rock.

I've had good experiences with http://www.ammunitiontogo.com.

Wow, LOVE that wharnie lava!!

Just wanted to throw in my $.02 here as well. I can get my edges hair whittling sharp with just my Sharpmaker and UF stones. If I want to get really stupidsharp, I use a loaded leather strop. Not really a practical edge, but very satisfying to get them to that point every once in a while. Also with ...

Great stuff! I love to see kids enjoying the outdoors AND quality knives.

Sweeeeet!!!

Hmmm...member SnowCrash on BF is trading his PM2 and looking for a Military.

Military for me, followed very closely by Stretch and Manix 2. All three are fantastic knives that can do anything I ask of them with efficiency AND style!

For me, like others, I was a tip up guy for many, many years. But that was carrying mostly 3" or so folders. Once I got my first Millie, I *thought* tip down was going to be a hassle, but it's really not and I actually do prefer tip down on larger folders now. For me, speed is generally not the most...
