Thanks Ken! Ya I thought as much, I've ordered quite a few knives in M390 so looking forward to that. The military is more of a test so see what happens? I really wish the leftie Millie came in other steel than s30v. My hope is that at least with a microbevel I can touch up quicker than without the ...

Hey, so I've been a bit irritated with my military lately, just felt like i was forever "touching up" to get it SCARY sharp again. So tried something new: Reprofile relief to 10 deg per side, go through all stones, Chosera up to 10000 then leather strop with CBN paste at 0.75 micron then l...

The Military would be the one to get, it will handle just about anything that could be called normal use. It's a good sized knife, but it carries very well and small for how large it really is. That 4" blade has a lot of belly , that and the distal taper makes for an excellent cutter on a vari...

Hey Rookie! Fancy meeting you here?! LOL! I've been a bit disappointed with my military (s30v) edge retention lately so I'm busy trying something new: About 11 or 12 deg per side relief(as low as edge pro apex can go) With a micro bevel of between 15 and 18 degrees(I havnt decided yet, still busy wi...

Please more Left handed Military variations

I hope posting this will result in more variations on the left handed Military to be made! The current s30v leftie Millie was my first dedicated left handed knife and has changed my outlook on how good a knife should be! It's soooo comfortable, easy to use, in general an amazing knife. Since owning ...

Nice photos, thanks.

Does the "cables" restrict use or slow down removal from pockets? How long are those cables? Do you remove clip before every use?

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice all!

I am leaning towards the Police 3 G10 combo. I would love to get the Military Left hand, manix and endura eventually though! But maybe thats just greedy!

I like that the police clip position can be changed or removed.
