Yes please, for this I'd probably buy both edge types.
Me too! At least one of each! Please!

Me three.

I would go as far as to say that Spyderco could do a lot worse than make a lot more of their standard, non-limited models in k390 ...

I asked BBS to do this, they said they'd be "watching the interest." I also suggested they order up a Military 2 in K390 as soon as it's ready, but they didn't get back to me.

I would kill for a K390 Military (or Military 2) in Ranger Green and K390.
What about us europeans … BBS does not ship overseas ! Oh, I see … we don’t count 😡

****, I'm in Canada and BBS doesn't even ship here.

If the K390 Millie ISN'T a dealer exclusive or sprint run, that would be so ideal!

I would love a K390 Military or any other Military that Spyderco might want to toss our way, but I have been wishing for a new Military for a while now.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

Hey, I'm all for doing away with the whole exclusive idea. Regular production K390 and Ranger Green G-10 (or better yet, Micarta) all day long!
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Plus 1 on not a sprint. Regular production. I'd like to see it replace the S110V as the super steel. Far easier to sharpen and probably similar edge holding. Also if people want a stainless super steel, there's plenty of opportunity to get one now.

I have a feeling we won't see MagnaCut in a Military until the 2 is out. I think the Military 2 is gonna debut like the Koolaid man smashing through the wall.

I have no idea how this will roll out. I think Spyderco has had an earful on the Millie vs Millie2, there is clear support for the current design. But Comp locks are well loved too, and we who love Millie as she is may be a minority of potential future sales. I like it as a liner lock, but would need to use the new version to develop an opinion. That smooooth back strap is excellent.

What I don’t need to “wait and see” about is the blade steel. I love cruwear / Z-wear and won’t buy anything in its “stock” s30v trim. Make MagnaCut the stock option. I don’t think they’d lose sales based on that; those who don’t care still wouldn’t and those who avoid SS in favor of tool steels would be quite happy.

The Millie 1 or 2 would be fantastic in that family of steels. I still like CPM-M4 quite a lot :D

I'd still like to try M4 in a Military. Maybe Blade HQ will re-run their exclusive at some point.

Country Knives still has the M4 Millie in stock but the price is somewhat prohibitive.
