Military Collection!

[WireEdge Roger]

Knives come and go with me, but the one model I've tried to keep a collection of is the iconic Military! This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Military, I still remember seeing my first magazine ad for it back in 1996. I don't have every single version, but I do have all of the Sprints and Exclusives minus the Forum Military with Spyder inlay.

Holy Cow.....if I could have a collection of any model Spyderco has it would no doubt be the Military.
I am very envious. Nice job!

Awesome collection Roger! I've had a few Millies come and go, by the 204P version, with its improvements, has reignited my love for the model. Can't wait for the CF/Ti version, and once the improvements carry over, I'll get a fluted Ti.

Superb

[WireEdge Roger]

I agree, I really like the several CQI improvements! Really looking forward to the S110V and S90V future versions.

[Brock O Lee]

Impressive collection Roger... Which one is your user? :D

[WireEdge Roger]

I've carried them all! The CPM-D2 version might have the most use. I'm alternation between the 204P and 52100 versions this summer.

Man if they make a Military 2 soon you are in trouble! :)

[gingerninja]

Awesome

[WireEdge Roger]

Oh I know! I'm really looking forward to a Military 2, but I don't know if I can swing 16 more! It's a good problem to have :D

Nice Roger, which one is your favorite?

Out of all mine its a toss up between my Cruwear with new custom micarta scales and the M4 exclusive. Just got another 52100 in the mail today so now I have a user and will start carrying it so that might change.

[WireEdge Roger]

I like them all for different reasons. The BG-42 model is right up there, as is the CPM-D2 model. The new 204P and 52100 models are super awesome with their steels and CQI improvements. So as of today, those two are my current favs :D

I have wanted to see some of your collection for a while Rog...I knew you had some diggity dank!! I bet your Manix collection is nice too. I actually thought about you today, we are at the Gulf and passed tons of Indiana cars also southbound. I hope you are well and thanks for sharing the Millie family photo

2005 S30V & CF Sprint -- that one has been in my pocket consistently over the last 10 years. :)

[Scroop]

WHAT :eek: No blue fluted??? :p

Nice stash!

[WireEdge Roger]

I had the original bluish one but sold it, oops.

[Sully]

Impressive Military collection....only a Lefty Millie away from being truly spectacular! :p

[SpyderEdgeForever]

You're gonna love the upcoming Military SALT :)

[SpyderNut]

Very impressive collection, Roger. I love the old ATS-34 Millies. Kudos, man!

Thanks for making me feel better for only having five Militaries.
