The kapara for a millie
Just like the title says. A good buddy of mine is in love with the kapara and offered to trade one of his millies for it.
Just wondering what you guys think? Is it worth it?

Depends on the Millie.

If it's not a rare millie, go for it.

Re: The kapara for a millie
I would personally prefer to have the Kapara right now. At least you can find Militaries in stock. :D

Re: The kapara for a millie
OP, you have the Kapara and friend is offering you a Military for it?
Two factors:
Which version?
How good a friend?
I should add that Kapara doesn’t do much for me, so I know my answer

Re: The kapara for a millie
The Kapara is an expensive knife. I wouldn't let it go for a s30v military. But a REX 45, s110v, M4, s90v, 204p, or an older collector's item, go for it.
Hoping for a Kapara sprint one day.

You don’t care for the Kapara, which is presently hard to find?

Re: The kapara for a millie
I love the kapara, which is why this is a little difficult. I've never owned a Millie and that's the pull factor. The kapara really grew on me since I purchased it, and now, I really love it.
Thanks for the responses everyone.

Re: The kapara for a millie
I do not know what version of Military. I will point out that the Military has stood the test of time and actual use. It has a strong following fir good reasons. The jury is still out on the Kapara.GiftedMisfit wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 9:01 amI love the kapara, which is why this is a little difficult. I've never owned a Millie and that's the pull factor.

Re: The kapara for a millie
I think I would do that deal. If I wanted the Kapara. I do. I wouldn’t trade a desirable Sprint run Millie, but one of the S30V models or even an S110V, since I could replace it, sure.

Re: The kapara for a millie
I traded the BladeHQ DLC M4, for a Smock (2nd detent removed / included) and 40 bucks. I really liked the military, but I hadn't been using it and the Yojimbo was seeing more pocket time. Now that I got the Smock I can't leave it alone, and back to your topic I've only heard good things about the Kapara.
If you're not using the millie, or the Kapara interests you more... go for it.

Re: The kapara for a millie
I've decided to keep my Kapara. It's really snuck up on me as my favourite EDC right now. Everything about it is perfect to me. I love my pm2's but the Kapara has earned its keep with me. I can always grab a millie at anytime it seems and I would prefer the plain s30v LEFT handed variation. So I'll wait.
Thanks for the responses really, had me asking myself a couple questions that ultimately helped alot.
Thanks again.

Re: The kapara for a millie
Couple of points: sweet pics man! The Kapara is such a cool looking knife :cool: Also, I think you did right by hanging on to it against a Military; as others above have said, maybe if it was a very rare Millie a trade might've been worthwhile, but at this juncture I think you did well. You can always snag a really nice Millie in the future!
