BHQ Military CPM M4 DLC Exclusive

[sok]

Yep. I have knife money that could go a couple of different directions, but I am trying to hold out for this one. I need me some of that DLC M4.

I like where your head is at. I love my baby brother Para 3 version. M4 is fantastic and DLC is tough stuff and very easy to clean and get back to a new looking finish.

Yeah, I have the PM2 version of this one.

I also have the Ti/carbon fiber/S90V Military. I am contemplating a blade swap.

If I had the money to blow I'd swap a DLC M4 blade into my ti/cf millie in a second.

I think I will have the cf side blacked out and the ti handle as is with the stainless screws and clip. That is, if this knife ever comes out and I can catch one before they're gone.

Oh man, should I buy this....

[The Meat man]

I've been waiting for this one! Unfortunately I might have to pass for lack of funds.

Sure looks nice though!

Millie needs some real CQI. comp lock and tip up. It would skyrocket to the top of my favorite knives list.

[TkoK83Spy]

Of course it has to be released now when I'm sold on a WE knife and saving for a new exhaust system for my truck This was supposed to be my first Military!

[Extra330SC]

Thanks for reminder! Looking forward to this military. ..

Man....

I've been waiting on this one, but to be honest I'm about to take a plunge and buy my first ZT. The 0562 is on sale... guess it is getting discontinued and it is finally at a "descent" price point. Plus, I did see the Rex 45 Military on BBS earlier this week... Haven't gone through them, but they have it priced at 180 bucks so if I really feel the urge... at least there is still that.

This is the only knife I am looking at ATM. I've got a big job starting tomorrow and am not sure I will be able to have my finger on the trigger when it goes live Tuesday. Hopefully it will stay available for a few hours.

I just took a quick look at my knives, that I have accumulated over the years, and I don't think any of them were bought day one release. Kind of fun. I am an Oklahoma Sooner. Is there any way I can cheat and get one sooner?

The satin M4 version took a long time to sell out, and DLC used to be less popular so there is a good chance you guys will still be able get one... If Military exclusives sale history is any indicator.

Yes, I just hope they don't disappear like the REX 45 did.

I have a feeling they're going to go pretty fast though... We'll see.

As Spyderman91 pointed out, you can get the Rex45 Millie at Bento Box Shop for ~$182 plus shipping.

The Pink Endura is going for ~$81 too if you want a break on the shipping.

Have to say it would be fun to drop the DLC M4 into a CF handle though.

I’m sure I’m in the heretical minority here, but I have no interest in seeing a BHQ version of either of those D. Despite the hype on the forums, etc. the Shaman, and certainly the Sliverax, doesn’t command nearly the same recognition as the “Golden 5” models they are running (PM2, P3, N5, M, Yo2). Plus no offense to the Shamanites here but that model needs to be CQI’d to fix some less than optimal features.

I'm just so very tired of the same old recycled combos. Even the beloved Military which is one of my top 3 is getting super played out. If it were a Maxamet Military then maybe but they already did an M4 Military. I guess there's suddenly enough support for DLC to warrant another run.

I am still on the fence about getting the DLC M4 Military. The Satin one I already own I brought to a mirror shine on the wicked edge Pro3 and it slices like no other steel. Biggest thing that bothered me about M4 has always been corrosion but perhaps with DLC this is cleared up? I don't worry over the edge because that part always gets touched up so a little patina and or rust no worries.

I really don't like patina or rust on the blade though. Hmmmm Still considering as the satin does not sell well on the secondary market so a hard recapture on the money if I do not like the DLC adding drag to a wonderful slicer.

Now there is a good reason to buy!

I have the DLC version of the Para 3. It's one of my most used knives, granted the size of the blade isn't one I typically use for food. I have, and haven't experienced any kind of rust or patina, though I do coat it in a bit of mineral oil each time after use to as a precaution, and to bring back that dark/shiny black finish. I honestly don't notice TOO much of a difference in drag with my DLC blades compared to satin finishes. There is a slight difference, but nothing that would keep me from buying a DLC blade if it really appeals to me.

It is, but it's a gamble. The tolerances aren't always identical. After a blade swap the lockup of the liner may be too little or too much for one's liking. I don't know what the likelihood of this phenomenon is, but I can say that when I swapped blades with 204p/s110v millie's, one locked up too far and one too little. Swapped them back, both perfect, about 40% lockup.... enough to be fully secure, yet room left to make up for eventual wear.
