I am not saying flipping or hording is bad, you just will have no input that interests me on steel performance if one chose to go down those paths. Again, nothing wrong with anything in our hobby, but I am counting on Ankerson and Surfingringo types to let us know this steel's capabilities

This will be my first 52100 experience, so I'm hoping it will be a heavy user. If it's anything like M4, I'll probably end up reprofiling to 30 degrees.

I don't like the Military at all because of the tip down pocket clip

I'll take the chance but only because I have a job that I can order whenever.

Not sure if it's been covered but what color scales on this one?
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.

I would like to see more variations in the CF. The lightning strike was cool and the Air has that silver twill stuff.

Sigh. This has been torturing me all day. I think my resolve is crumbling... I am now leaning towards getting one of these. It's not like I'm going to regret it later, lol.

Same here. The bigger problem is that there are so many awesome knives coming up I don't know how ill afford them all. I sure hope they're spread out enough so that my wallet can recover in time for the next one.
Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

No need to stress if you will like this one. Just get it and if you do not like it put it up for sale. No way you would lose money on it.

Exactly. A real quandary indeed. :( I may need to start mowing lawns or open a lemonade stand in order to support my Spydie habit.

Okay. So I had a nice long talk with my wife last evening regarding the 52100 Millie. At this point, I have just *maybe* convinced her of my need to have this model, lol. But her main question was a valid one: "What do you intend to use it for? You work in an office." Ah, I dislike it when she's right.

We'll see. If Mrs. SpyderNut approves, we'll be a green for go. :D
