1. I am in the military and camo anything other than uniform items is sort of played out for me.

2. Camo makes things look like they are designed to be used in the military and therefore more like weapons.

3. It's next to impossible to find if lost anywhere outdoors.

Maybe because you're in the military you feel like that. I find a lot of people simply associate camo with the outdoors

i hate to nitpick.. but in justifying my position, digital camo is specific to what the military uses (this past decade give or take).

Realtree/mossy oak = civilian -outdoor/-hunter use.

M9 print (old school bdu's), dcu's, chocolate chip? still military, sorry.

i'm still drooling over the prospect of multicam scales though :*p

I received my digi-cam Para-1 today! I must say, I am much more :spyder: impressed :spyder: than I thought I would be with the scales on this baby. I’ll post some pics of it when I get a chance.

Let's see. We're talking about two knives whose name use the word "military" as their name. So I see no reason to not expect the knife to be offered in a "camo" option.

Ok, I actually prefer the digi-camo pattern too and of course I have a Para-Military and Military in Camo with black blades.

But then again I'm a 20 year vet who started out as an officer in the Marine Corps.

I picked up the regular Millie a week ago and LOVE it - perfect design, blade shape and handle. I liked it so much I decided to get the digi camo too. Just received it today and so far its OK, its starting to grow on me. But I dont think I will be getting another digi camo knife anytime soon. Design wise its nice, a change of pace but cant see myself carrying or using it much. Guess I just wanted my Millie to have a companion heh. Placed side by side though, the satin/G10 and digi camo look GORGEOUS :)
