Which knife ?
The Millie actually used to be availabe in CE at one time. I had one of the older 440V in combo but it's been quite some time. The mention earlier of a Para2 in 52100 in CE I'm finding very enticing and it's one I would kind of like to check out.jezabel wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 4:54 amI frequently carry an se and a pe blade. I know that I’d put a combo Millie to use. I have been on the fence for some time with the combo 52100 Para 2 mainly because I find combo edges are more useful in larger blades. However I’d also love to see how 52100 performs with teeth...

I do like the design of that front tip area ( maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch) to be plain edged but the heel part I would rather see it just be full Spyderedged. I have an old 440V NATIVE model with 1/2 inch of the front tip in PE and it does really come in handy but I can't conceive of the small portion of the heel part of the edge in PE as having any significant advantage. If I'm missing something or overlooking something please explain?Evil D wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 11:05 amI'd still like to see something like this, even more now that I've really grown to love SE I think it's a fantastic idea for a combo edge. It puts the PE in the spots that I use it most and puts the SE in the middle so nothing can slip off the blade. You can still carve with the heel of the blade and make detailed cuts with the tip, and the SE is in the middle where the hard work happens. I think I'd be happy with about an inch or so of PE at the heel and maybe a half inch at the tip, which on a Military would leave about two inches of SE in the middle.

As a general rule I like my combo edges to be the most popular edition and that is with about 1 to 1 & 1/2 inches of SE on the heel of the blade.
But Dude I agree with you that the return of the full Spyderedged Military is way overdue IMO.
I'm not exactly clear on that one :confused: Not sure that carving would be a job I want to use a combo edge blade for anyway. Carving is a completely separate endeavor>> because I've actually been toying with learning about carving and whittling in my spare time lately. The blades I've been playing with are all plain edged and most of them relatively short that I'm finding to work best in carving and whittling both.Evil D wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 9:12 amJD Spydo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 6:39 amI do like the design of that front tip area ( maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch) to be plain edged but the heel part I would rather see it just be full Spyderedged.

Well really carving something is one of the only areas I've found where SE kinda sucks. It isn't something I need to do even once in a while but when I do need to it's harder to get done with that wee bit of PE at the tip, you can get a lot more force at the heel of the blade.
