Military Collection!
Re: Military Collection!
Great collection, Roger -- congratulations!! I'm impressed that you've used them all, but I suppose it was the natural thing to do since you seem to have acquired 'em gradually as they came out. I've accumulated 6 since I started in 2013 -- lefty, Cruwear, D2, BLUE fluted Ti :p , 204P, and 52100.

Re: Military Collection!
Thanks! Funny, I never thought I'd like a blue knife, then one day a store clerk put that one in my hand :confused: ... I guess you never know what you'll like until you try it :cool:MacLaren wrote:You are one lucky man.

This Millie still gets more pocket time than any of the other dirty dozen...

I'd really wish Sal could do a Sprint with it and M390 or 20CV....
Re: Military Collection!
Nice, Roger! I was looking at my Spyder stash today and I don't know how I got ahold of three Cruwear Miltiaries!

You could probably get by with just two Cruwear Millies.. *nudge, nudge, wink*Donut wrote:Nice, Roger! I was looking at my Spyder stash today and I don't know how I got ahold of three Cruwear Miltiaries!

Re: Military Collection!

Re: Military Collection!
I'd agree there is something almost hypnotic :) in seeing a bunch of Millies lined up...

Re: Military Collection!
Great collection, Roger! I'm going to bookmark this thread so that when my wife asks about my collection I can show her that I am indeed restrained in my purchases. Thanks for sharing!
Re: Military Collection!
This is a beautiful knife and an great idea, to give it an overbuilt handle. I think it's the only one I've seen with thicker scales. The only one I noticed anyway -- a great working knife.xceptnl wrote:This Millie still gets more pocket time than any of the other dirty dozen...

Re: Military Collection!
Thanks for sharing. I've always liked the brown one for some reason and keep an eye out for a deal on one, so far no luck.
