I would put the Cruwear Millie on that list. No longer available at retailers but they can be found on the exchanges without too much effort I believe. I have a feeling though that we will see another Military cruwear sprint or exclusive at some point. I could be wrong but there seem to be enough people always asking for new cruwear that it wouldn't surprise me.

I would suggest an SE Millie next. Even in S30V it is a great combination. They can still be found if you hunt for them.

If you are into carbon steels, the 52100 CF Sprint is still available at stores if you search around some.

I wish they would release a K390 Millie. Of the ones that are available, I want the KW exclusive 204P.

Cruwear is my favorite model due to loving the steel.
The Fluted Ti is a stunningly beautiful knife and the contouring makes it comfy in hand.
Green is my favorite color so I am quite fond of the 204P and the steel is excellent.

I have an M4 Military on the way and it should be a home run. Can't go wrong with M4.

I'm not a fan of SE at all, would not buy an SE Millie. Combo, yes.

It's real hard to get stuff over here. If it's not at a dealer in the EU at 2x the price or not available from a place that knows how to ship overseas it's just awfully difficult and expensive.

I do like carbon steels for their toughness but in a folder I'm not sure if that's such a great idea. That said, of lamnia would list it I would probably buy one.

I'm kinda leaning that way and have sent a couple of emails to bladehq. Waiting to hear back whether they can ship in a regular padded envelope. Got burned very badly on my knifeworks Millie thanks to DHL and the taxman over here and would like not to go through that again. A little concerned about the lack of stainlessity on a folder though.

Well you have a Pac Salt and that is very similar, though in my uses the SE and FFG combo seems to mesh well together

You got it right. I was thinking the exact same combination. Can't believe the 204P's haven't sold out. Roger must have ordered a bunch'o these.

I'm betting people just aren't crazy about that green.

Statistics show that green is the second most common favorite color. ;) :)

Do you think it is just the shade of green?

Heck I even painted my car green but this particular color doesn't do anything for me. It's one of my least favorite colors they've used.

I have really enjoyed my Cruwear version and there seem to be a few floating around the secondary market. It's relatively easy to keep and edge on it and it has great resistance to rust for something "non-stainless".
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

Grab the M4 while you can! The KW CF/Ti S90v is pretty awesome if you wanna add a frame lock to your list with very little weight penalty.

That's been because H1 is supposed to excel in SE and suck in PE and there is no combo edge option for the Pacific Salt. And I bought these as dedicated food prep knives where SE isn't as offensive as it would be for a general purpose knife like the Military.

I have read a bunch of your posts where you said you loved your 52100 and I get the impression you work outdoors. Is rust an issue on these steels in a folder? I don't live in a humid place but I get the creeps thinking about rust where I can't see it.

It's hard to figure, isn't it? I though it was a great choice. I do feel the eye burning clip really looks out of place. Wish they had built it with green hardware all around or at least black. The shining screws and lanyard hole are really hideous
