And some more than others, eh Spencer? ;) Golden or Taiwan models only, so it's not likely we'll see a Caly in M4. Para 2 or Millie seem like obvious choices, and only one of those have Eric's initials on it!! If I were a betting man, I'd be getting my wallet out (heck, I'm already doing that for whatever model it is!). Exciting stuff!

XVC11 is Japan's version of M4, if I'm not mistaken. I would by a caly in XVC11 in a heart beat. I'd buy a delica or dragonfly in that steel even fast tho :D

This model seems to get overlooked a lot, but I think an M4 Nilakka would be an amazing blade.

I have a franken-manix that came with M4 blade, and also came with patina. I use it as a weekend work knife so I don't worry about the patina. I also have a Bradley Folder that I got new, so far it has no patina. I also have Cruwear in the Military and the M2.

That's the one steel I've yet to try. I always hear such good things about M4.
A Domino in M4 would be neat I reckon.

Yes! I agree. That's one Spydie I've been soooo close to buying, but have never pulled the trigger on.

Well it looks like that kidney is going up for sale after all.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

allmost all steels rust.stainless just means stainless not rust proof.if you treat the m4 you will have no rust problems.get renaissance wax or mothers carnuba and treat and oil regularly dont leave them wet.oil befoer you go to bed.I personally like the fact you hsve to take care of m4 it installs proper habits in cleaning and oiling youre tools.in the restrounts now adays you should see how much cooks and chefs neglect thete knives.instead of taking proper time to sharpen and oil there knives they use those pull threw sharpenets and dishwash thete good knives its a shame.renaissance wax and mothers carnuba was keeps high carbon blades clean and rust free with regular waxing.not a hard thing to do.if you realy like blades you shoukd enjoy doing this.im sure I will get blasted for this post

Ha ha, don't know if you're talking about the sentiment or the typos :D I don't mind the typos because I know English is not your first language and, as a chef, you may be mixing a souffle with one hand and typing on a small cellphone with the other, LOL.

Ha ha, good point. I was thinking of an all G-10 sprint. I had to reject this one a long time ago because the RIL is so totally right handed, not to mention the cost. I had almost forgotten about (or repressed) it. I guess I could have bought one, swapped blades with a liner lock millie, then sold the RIL model.

From now on or just three wishes? :rolleyes: :p
