Just unearthed my old (as in 18-20 years old) Military after it had been missing for about 5 years following a move.
Originally had an ATS-34 blade, but I somehow managed to break the tip off after about 2 years of ownership. I was living in Boulder at the time so I went to their shop and had it replaced with a CPM 440V blade. I can't remember why I went that route exactly since it was so long ago, but I do remember this much: Spyderco replaced the blade it for free.
I'll probably send it back there for a little TLC. Anyway, this just made my week.
lol - turns out it was sitting in a box in my parents' garage for 5 years, which is definitely not a climate controlled storage facility - about as "unearthed" as could be for not being buried underground. It was definitely well-used before it went missing and finding it reminded me how great Spyderco was when it came to replacing the blade - guess I'll have to buy another one now. That being said, I'm more of a gun guy these days, but I'm still beyond happy I found it.

Oh that me laugh that's exactly what I was thinking. It really is a cool knife though, I really like the blocky jimping I wish they still made it.
