Spyderco Forums

OK, joining this thread, as I also missed the opportunity to buy one of the forum knives.

Even for a lefty as myself, I love the CF M390 Military "as is" :)

Sad story :( I was in bed with a high fever all last week from something I picked up at a local restaurant but managed to pull myself together long enough to shakily make my order Thursday morning. It shipped Friday, but sat in Commerce City, CO, until 8:45 MDT this morning and is due to arrive Wed...

Wow I must have been one of the first ones to order...I was up 30 mins before 10am here (9am MDT) and checked the catalogue at 9:58 and the knife was there. I added to cart and only got the weird error message once. I hit my back button and did it again, and it went through. I even put my state's f...

Well, I would have liked to order ONE of these for EDC use (I don't believe in shelf queens), but got busy these last couple of days doing AC maintenance in my attic, so after waiting months for this sale, I missed the sale completely

I order my two last night :)

It's a **** knife, get over it. If it is too high, then don't buy it and shut the **** up.

Either buy it or not. I totally don't get the whole drama either.

If you're not a member of Badger and Blade, sign up! Great group over there (almost like here) that's made a world of difference in my shaves.

I shave every day with a str8 razor, and I learned everything at B&B - great forum indeed :)

Either the M390 CF Millie (my current EDC), or the Phil Wilson S90V fixed blade.

Well said Joe!

Any more news on the Cruwear Mili? Anticipated timeline?

My beater knife is my ZDP-189 DragonFly. It is small, it is very sharp, and I would not get upset if I loose it break it, etc., which is why many times I carry it as my backup/second knife (the Millie CF M390 being the main one). This Dragonfly would be the one I would hand over if anyone needs to b...

That is also why I am big believer in having mentors. I am fortunate enough to have two: one for electronics, and one for machining - totally invaluable!

Great review. My go-to knife is my CF M390 Millie. It feels great in the hand and it just plain works great.

I buy very few knives now, so I am very picky/selective. For me, in order:
- Made by Spyderco
- The steel used
- The design/application

To give you an idea, these are the only 3x knives in my rotation:
- ZDP-189 Dragonfly
- CTS-20PM PM2
- CF M390 Millie

I got one of those CF M390's - they work/cut great. I would not worry about it

heh! Be careful. That one slipped under the radar for a lot of people. By looking at prices on the secondary market lately it looks like more people are trying to grab them up. S90V got a headstart and is better known but people who have one know how they perform. Well said Joe. I much prefer to ca...

EDC except at work = CF M390 Millie
At work = CTS-20CP PM2
backup = ZDP DragonFly

My go-to knife is my CF M390 Millie.

My backup (or for wearing at the office) is a CTS-20cp Para 2.

My backup to my backup is a ZPD Dragonfly.
