Great present!!
Very nice looking knife. Love the Halloween-pumpkin-Orange color.

I've had a Spin on my keys for over two years now. I think it's an excellent carrying method. Helped me out a lot, when i couldn't have another knife on me, or when i needed to use a knife in public.
It also keeps my keys hanging, when in the pocket, and helps me not to lose those keys.

Now i'm confused... because i also agree, that VG-10 is fairly rusty typa steel. I use my streetbeat in the kitchen, and once unattended after slicing and dicing, it developed a CRATER in the blade :eek: though the S30V just get kinda cosmetic rust. (i dont use D2 for such purposes, so my D2 doesn't...

If something like the Millie closes on your fingers... you're pretty much @#%$&*!!! send it for repair. I've got 5 Millies, and no blade play whatsoever.

I've got both knives, both are extremely big, and probably very effective for SD. I do prefer the PE Millie for EDC, so i have a CE edge one, which i always keep sharp and unused, for SD purposes. Keep in mind, the civillian is also good for SD because the sight is "horrifying" for some pe...

Absolutely a masterpiece.

I like only the AO by Benchmade, called Nitrous Stryker. I've got the D2/G-10 and S30V/CF one. Great AO system. My Kershaw Aos tend to break after a while of playing around. The BM are bulletproof though. IMO, a Spyderco AO, if done properly, could as well be one of the best, most unique spyders eve...

I like 154cm steel on a BM. Though s30v is by far better IMO. 154cm is like ATS34 in overall performance. Fairly good in edge retention, relatively easy to sharpen, and not that bad for corrosion resistance... though definitely not my choice in steel when it comes to a high performance knife. Sorry ...

Hey everybody!
Can anybody please tell me how corrosion resistant the 8cr13mov steel compared to s30v, d2, and Vg10??

Thanks.

I've got a black and a regular plain edge Paras. Also I own a Mini Griptilian. Though both are good knives, the Para is much more suitable for hardcore use. and even though I don't always use my knives hard, the though that i COULD, soothes me. p.s. the compression lock, in MY opinion, is way strong...

I have a black combo edged Millie, but i never really found it useful.... Though it does look really cool. :o

I've got one! Great heavy use beater.
+1 for D2
I prefer the Zero Tolerance model more though. (it comes in S30V)

I must have had just bad luck with their liners i guess.... and i mean REALLY bad luck, because all of my folders by CS are "high end", except my Triple Action (Worst buy ever, broke the first day)

+1 for Millie's "thunk" :D

I really like that knife. Haven't ventured into CS yet, but I've had my eye on some of their knives for awhile, like the Scimitar and maybe the Ti Lite. Never understood why people bag on them but some of the above posts have given me some insight. Mind you, I haven't seen any other knife co. that ...

I've got a FB subcom, says "made in taiwan" on mine :confused:
I wonder if there are variations of this one.... or maybe the USA made ones are new :confused:

I have quite a few of Boker's CLB knives. And none of them is made in the USA. (mostly Taiwan, the Dyrekt is made in china it says)

Let me know how your smaller fingers feel after a lot of hard cutting, as in wood, etc. I've worker with the Millie and w whole lot of wood. It has almost no difference in "getting fatigue", but the retention is way higher, especially if you have to chop a branch off. I used the butt of t...
