I voted for the Native 5 but then I remembered those are now made without liners. I guess I'd vote for a Para 3 but my REX45 P3 is wearing tan Terotuff scales. I have a Cruwear P3 too. So I wouldn't actually be interested in buying a Cru-carta P3

All that tells me is that the fans of the Military are starving for some love. I know the Military is supposed to be a must for Spydie fans but it's not for this one

I said Military, which I would be elated with, but I really want the Military 2 more!

I have one Military and do not need another in any flavor. I have many Natives, and can always use another. :D

25 votes in now and still not a single Para 3! Hopefully that fad is beginning to die down a bit. Lets go Millie!!

It's my favorite and most used Golden model by far. And you are right, we are starved. I just bought a 52100 version on eBay to get over the starvation. I don't really even like CF, but the peel ply CF is pretty nice and quite grippy. A Cru-carta Millie would definitely be the penultimate version. That said, an OD Green Micarta with Delta 3V would really be the ultimate Military in my book.

I would love to see a CruCarta Millie with full Ti liners. That would be an awesome piece!

I voted Native Chief, but also want to throw up Police model. That'd be cool in my book!!

Maybe it’s because I’m new here but I don’t understand why the para 3 gets so much hate. Can someone explain? Is it because it’s had a lot of sprints in the past?

I would buy a Military and Native. I have no interest in a Para3 and any Seki knife in this combo will most likely be more expensive than I am willing to pay. I cannot comment on the Chief because I still don’t have one because the Rex45 sprint is taking forever.

I would buy a GB1 or GB2 in this combo without hesitation. Same goes for the Chaparral.

It doesn't get as much hate as you might think. There was a lot of excitement over it when it was first released and there's a lot of fans (I have 5-G10 & 3-LWs). I think the fans of the Military dislike all the attention the PM2 and P3 have gotten and want to see some Military exclusives or sprints.

A lot of people in here like the Para 3, but we also love other “less trendy” models that don’t get nearly as many variations.

2-3 years ago, I was all about the Para 3. I think I had 5 of them at one point? Then it just got to be so trendy and played out, there was something crazy like 20 exclusives/sprints in a year. At that point many people were over it. Another Para 3 exclusive *yawn, I'll save my money* time for other models to get some attention.

Definitely the Millie. I really hope they can figure out a way to make this happen.

I´d love a Micarta Millie, and I am sure they can make it happen - but as others have said, after listening to what Eric said about the Micarta PM2, I am sure the Millie would have to get full liners. Not necessarely a con, but for me still a different knife...

Military for me. It has been too long since we've had a new release and it would be great to have some Cruwear with the CQI upgrades.
