Opinions on the Military

[Scorpius711]

Why the Military ROCKS:
1. Flat grind, most other manf. don't even have one in their whole line.
2.Honking big handle, that does not feel big or heavy in your pocket.
3. Large Spyderhole, this in combination with
handle allows you to open it with gloves on. I wish ALL my Sydies had this size hole, your thumb does not slide off, like mine do on the smaller ones, once in awille.
4.Postive blade cant and lot's belly makes it easy to use, and a better cutting tool.
5.Overall the best ergonomic's in any folder
I have held.

I picked up a new Millie a few months ago because the price was very right,(~$74 for G10, 440V) and I figured I could easily swap it. However, just the other day it found its way into my pocket and, ****, that is one sweet knife. I like the ergonomics, the blade design, the nested liner lock, the edge holding...so now it's my new EDC. Sorry, it's not for trade any more; it's a real keeper. I'm converted.

Blade Santa Cruz,

You're right, $74 bucks is a steal!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Does the place that you got have any more in stock? I have been waiting for a good price to show up on the Millie. This is the best I've seen so far.

Cheers!

Sorry, they had a few Millies and Police models that they were clearing out at that price, take your pick. All gone now. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I have one in CPM-440V and mine seems perfect in execution. THe liner engages perfectly to the left and takes a bit of effort to unlock ( a good thing). The flat-ground blade is like a razor. I have not yet had to sharpen a 440V blade so I can't comment on how difficult a touch-up would be, though.

For such a big knife it's very comfortable and awesome as a cutter. If you get one you will not be sorry.

Above this post a little ways is an address for a "review" of the Military. I just finished it, and while it doesn't say much, it's quite funny while it says it!

**Fair warning- Some of the humor is lost if you haven't seen <i>Full Metal Jacket</i>. Just thought I'd warn you! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
