The SE Millie.... my old 440v chainsaws are getting a little tired these days!

J

The OG needed some pocket time today... J

As far as I'm concerned If it's tip down IWB is good to go... Millie's , Paras & my personal fav the Caly Jr of course!

J

As it stands the military is perfect for my uses.
Yes I'd go for compression lock version ONLY if could it be easily used with rigging gloves on. At the moment I only use my para's when I'm not wearing gloves.

J

P.s When the heck are we going to see an SE millie again !?!?

Another here who’d buy 2 se Millie’s regardless ...

J

Not for me but I’ve always wished the lum Chinese was given the frame lock treatment..

J

Double compression lock?? ... that makes this something I'll take to work!. As much as I adore good lock backs, dealing with mud, sand and dirt is a lot easier with open frame designs.

J

Sal would you recommend these shaped stones as an alternative to the 701 profile ? My primary concern is sharpening and keeping my 440V SE Millies alive.
FWIW the brown stone in my 701 Set sports a few micro chips on the edges these days..

J

Its been a long time since Ive done one of these pics...
...mmm thats a small pic.

Likewise, the lack of laynard is a non issue for me.

J

In the last ten years I've had one person point out a knife in my pocket.
I don't conceal my carry but at the same time I don't advertise it either. Hence my preference for black pocket clips.

J

There are a few.. the Millie, civilian, original para & the Persians all fit my hands perfectly.
... that police 4 is on my list this year.

J

The SE matriarch 2 really took me by surprise this year. Pull cut heaven! My se Millie’s finally have some pocket competition.
I’m not the greatest fan of the ergo’s on endura style handle but hey.. it works.

J

That’s great news that there is a another dyad in the pipeline. I enjoy using my c44 sprint a lot. My only criticisms of the c44 sprint would be that I find the clip sets up a sometimes awkward high carry. (I am used to high carry clips and generally prefer them, but this is next level... ). I can’t...

Christmas carry is obvious. A Persian. Preferably a red one if your lucky enough to own one!

J

This was a catch up year for me since I hadn’t picked up a spydie since 2012. In no particular order this years haul:


Civilian
Matriarch
Persian 2
Street Bowie
Calypso jr super blue
Dyad sprint
Millie Rex 45
Millie KW s90v
Para 2 KW M4

Definitely, liner lock is not user friendly for lefties that has been what stops me from buying a military. I'll never understand this. I can close any of my liner/frame locks with my left hand as easy as I can my right. Even my Gayle Bradley is fairly easy to close left-handed. I dont understand t...

I wouldn’t change a thing with the Millie.
I love the compression locks, BUT they are nowhere near as glove friendly.
It can become a chore accessing the compression lock real quick when wearing rigging gloves,
The Millie shines outdoors as it is.
