Dang! I WISH I saw that price this morning. I'm about to pull the trigger now that it went to $179 but those of you that got THAT knife for 139 got the deal of the century IMO! WOW! Call me jealous. :eek: :D

I fear you may be right, usually I'm not a fan of big folders, but this one seems like it has a good chance of changing my mind.

$139 shipped for that knife wasn't a bargain..it was a steal.

The 52100 version just finished up, the S110V version is coming out early next month..August 4 according to KW's site. Also the Jade M4 BHQ version is on the horizon. The price for the Jade M4 Millie is unknown but since the Para2 version sold for $159 the Jade Millie might go for $179?

If KW's went for the full 1200 run they could be in stock for a long time.

:D too bad we don't have a video of this :D

Congratulations to everybody who got it for the $139 or $179! I paid the full price but strangely don't regret it at all at this point. Originally I was just going to get the 52100, but couldn't resist the green 204P when it came out first. I was so overwhelmed by the outlay for both that I let them sit in their boxes until a few days ago when I "gave myself" the 52100 and started using it. I like the CQI so much though, I'm about ready to start using the 204P too -- I don't think anybody will be able to pry it away from me either :p

After the spectacular defacto one day sellout of the M4 PM2, I'm wondering how this knife is still in stock, let alone on sale...

Seems like a new CQI Millie in a crowd favorite steel, with an attractive handle color would be a big draw, especially at just $25 over the standard version.

Whatever the reason I'm glad they stuck around until I figured out that I want one :D

I think there were too many other sprints/ exclusives around the same time, and the Military is a bit of an acquired taste because of its size, price and tip down clip...

The more Spyderco's I buy, the more I like the Military, so I'm glad I have a 204P on the way, and a 52100 in the pocket.

+1
Also IMHO $200 is too high, $180 is much more reasonable. IIRC, CF/M390 Milly originally was sold for $220. CF/S90V big Manix was sold for $220 as well.

Just got mine in, and man am I impressed with this combo.
204P is as good as it gets, and the green G10 looks MUCH better in person.
I've had all of the Militaries, and this is my favorite G10 combo yet.

All Spyderco's have went up, and I think the regular Military's are $156 now, so even at $200 I feel this is a good buy for an exclusive with 204P and a great colored G10.
