pleasant surprize

steeltiger · #1

I have owned a millitary for a few weeks, and I love it ( I need to send it in but not untill i get anoter :spyder: ) but I gave it another colse inspection the other day and I found something I didn't expect, another liner. I thought there was only one, but the skelitonized piece of steel seems to proove other wise.
I'm constantly humbled to see Sal give these lil' surprises, ( I've never seen any advert 'bout this) like the hidden limiter on the ATR,, and the concave stop pin/surface on the poliwog. It's these little unadvertised features that tell me repeatedly, Spyderco is about QUALITY not just sales (like I didn't already know this).

Thankyou for the ''free'' liner :D

P.S., does anyone have any pic's of a disasemblde millitary, if you can?-----thanx

You must be talking about the latest version sprint of BG-42 steel?

Thanx Tiger.

CQI is always going on. In most cases it's not worth a mention; adding a liner, adding jimping, engineering improvements, denser handle materials, etc. are not things that most customers would notice.

Actually the 2nd liner in the Military was Eric's thing.

Maybe, but my new G-10 Military SE is dual linered too.

Cool; that means the variation that first became available in the above mentioned sprint is now mainstream in the regular military. Another variation for the collectors! :D

well i guess i need to see one of the old milis cause all 3 of mine have what i would call a dual half liner and jimping upper and lower but im new here so the older spyders or out of my reach to see the gen changes. where is DENN on this thread ??? :D

I'm confused... :confused: An extra liner??? Like a spare piece came in the box or something?

No, what he means is that instead of having a steel liner on one side (inside the knife) nested, it has one on each side nested like the Para-Military. I don't know if they are as large as the liners on the Para-Military or not. I only noticed one nested liner on my Military (the lock side).

no the milis liners are smaller than the para from what i can tell IMO. don't have the specs. though.
