Military D2

[peter469]

I've never liked the Military enough to give it a second glance even though my favourite is the PM2. I even passed on a cheap cruwear one recently. Now it just so happens that I have a D2 sprint user on the way. I'm secretly hoping to be impressed

If for no other reason, the foliage green is awesome.

The D2 version is one of the more Rare versions. I've casually been looking for one for a while.

I sure love my CTS-XHP Military model. Unfortunately I missed the boat on the S90V Sprint run because that is when I was in the middle of a financial trainwreck. But since I've recovered I've not been able to locate one. But I'm sure Spyderco will be using the C-36 Military model to have many more premium and supersteel models.

The Military model is truly a classic>> It's Spyderco's version of the Buck model 110 in my opinion. I wouldn't even mind seeing the Military model made with one of the Japanese Supersteels. Because they did make it once in ATS-34 in the early going.

I do wish however that they would do more exotic handle materials with the Military model. I would love to see one with a Micarta handle. I would also like to see Spyderco make or market a belt sheath for the Military model. It would make it extremely handy for those who would want to use it as a hunter-folder.

I love D-2 blade steel and would love a Military model made with that steel. I've heard nothing but good about the BG-42 version of the C-36 Military model. There is a reason that model has been around for 18 years plus. But they really need to offer one up in Spyderedge like the 440V model of years gone by>> because there is a lot of guys wanting one.

I had the orange sprint a year or two ago but sold it cause I thought it was just too big. Couldn't get used to the size and liked my para2s better at the time

The BG-42 is my favorite, but I do love to admire the color of both the D2 (Foliage) and XHP (Coyote Brown)



Nice grab on a Military that is becoming hard to find these days.

I've been keeping my eyes open for a D2 Millie user too. They seem to be turning up less and less often.

Have you acid washed the BG 42? Or stone washed?

[JNewell]

I had one and sold it. I loved (and still love) the foliage green G10 but the blade performance wasn't anything special, and unlike S30V the blade was subject to corrosion if not cared for. I sold it and don't really regret it (I kept the twin Paramilitary, though).

It is stonewashed. No Acid

+1 on steel performance. But the jimping on my s30v para 2 has twice the amount of rust as my d2 para 1, which has gotten wayyyy more pocket time.

I believe you should be able to get your hands on a Bento Box Shop version if you wanted. Or a BBS Factory Second.

I'm with you on the new models. I'm crossing my fingers for K390.
