Fluted Titanium Military

#1

Post by DutchBlades »

Here's my dilemma...

I can buy a fluted TiMi for $220.
I really want to... But is it really worth it?
It's a pretty good price and the reeve lock is great,
so is the rest of knife ofcourse... But it's still allot of money....

Opinions?

A wolf has teeth.
An eagle has talons.
We, have Spyderco.

I'm assuming this is a real question? If it's a blue version for that price, absolutely do it, that price is a steal for one. If it's the newer non-anodized version, then absolutely do it, that price is a steal for one. Wait did I just repeat myself? Yes, I did! They are amazing, and you have shown much restraint by starting this thread versus buying it yet. Hurry up, sometimes these sort of good deals don't last long (speaking from experience). Cheers, Radioactive :)

That's definitely a good price. Whether it's worth it is up to you.

The Millie by itself is just awesome. A fluted titanium would be magnificent.

$220 for Ti fluted is a steal.
$220 for blue is Highway robbery.
Every minute, which you spend thinking is a lost minute of your life. I still kicking myself that I passed on it for $270.

There was a blue fluted Ti millie on BF yesterday for $300, so $220 sounds like a steal!

Hi Folks!


$ 220 for a Ti Mili sounds to me like an Epic Deal. :D

Actually, it sounds so good that my Spyder Sense warns me about it... :rolleyes:
Stay Sharp!

Saw another one going for $340.
But that seems very high to me...

Would anyone be willing to pay that kind of money for this knife o.0
