I feel bad for all the makers vying for AMKOTY that brought new designs to Bladeshow the year the Millie 2 came out lol.

Another prestigious award for the collection! That must be a nice thing to collect. :cheap-sunglasses

Hopefully their Golden expansion is including a dedicated room for displaying all of their awards. The SFO is just about at capacity! :usflag :bug-red

Congrats Spyderco! You deserve it.

Beat me to it by 1 minute. Congrats for the win Spyderco. Though personally, it doesn’t feel like a military. Like they could’ve named it the paramilitary xl or something. Idk. I’ll probably get one regardless, because the Millie is a favorite of mine. :)

I initially thought the handle looked like it was changed a lot but maybe not. The butt end reminds me more of a Para 2 now but it's pretty similar to the original. The choil is obviously changed and is larger, I'll have to handle it to know if I like that or not.

The handle seems shorter to me? Maybe it's the perspective. I'm guessing there's a smidge less edge length to account for the wider finger choil.

Congrats !!
I think that the blade might be less angled downward too.
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Cool!! But also, kind of silly at this time. Let people get their hands on it before handing out that kind of award haha!

It's going to be an instant sell out any time this knife pops up at distributors, regardless of what steel it has!
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

Yes. If you look close at that pic you can see it along the spine.

Thanks. Now I see it. I also hope they shortened the handle. Can’t wait for the specs.
