I'm not sure a Military LW makes sense apart from just changing the texture of the scales. The Military already has pretty minimal liners and I can't imagine G10 weighs so much more than FRN that changing the scale material will reduce weight enough to matter. Maybe if they completely eliminate the non lock bar side liner and switched to a wire clip that might drop a little weight but it won't be much. As much as I love the Military I think if this were going to happen it would have by now, and I think it'll be more likely in the future with the Military 2 if/when it finally happens.
Really IMHO LW models are more about reducing price by making the knife as inexpensive as possible. Here in Canada a S30V Military is still pretty expensive at approx $250cad($190us) which is almost the same price as a Shaman, and many other newer more exotic Spyderco's.

Same here in Europe: A Millie in S30V is around 200 Euros (220 USD).
But for me personally (and not for all, I am well aware of that!) LW models are not only cheaper and (more or less) lighter, but FRN is also a superior handle material (compared to G10, but not only G10). The way Spyderco does it: Grippier, but nevertheless less pocket-shredding, better countoured, even more durable (I think), often times more color options... a lot to like here imho.

I’m hoping for Para 2 LW and really hoping for the Caly 3.5 LW. Fingers crossed.

A Military 2 featuring a compression lock and tip-up carry would make me very happy.
A Millie 2 in K390 and Ranger green would make me even happier.

Will the lw pm2 have a pivot bushing that would be sick. Which models do you think will get the bushing? Is it only Taichung so far?

My first prediction was that it would be called Reveal 1 2020. It isn't; it is called Reveal 4* so obviously i'm not too good at this prediction stuff.
I suspect something fun with the fixed blades ... so I'm predicting (better read as guessing and not based on anything) a plain edge Jumpmaster in LC200N .... but it will have its own name but I don't know what that is ... but I'll go ahead and predict it will be called the "LandMaster".
Exec summary: LandMaster LC200N.

I hope the waved/Emerson opener endura gets the k390 too!
I’m also hoping for a native chief in different steel. M390, cruwear, lc200n would all be great options. Honestly, I’d buy one in VG10. I’m just not a fan of s30v or s35vn.

Plain edge LC fixed blade would be awesome.

We can only hope. Let’s pray they are regular production also so that we will actually be able to purchase and use them.
I’m growing weary of the stress and rat race of the sprint and exclusive game. Knife buying should be an enjoyable experience, not a stressful race to the finish line with inevitable disappointments. Scarcity marketing has gotten out of control.
Please, let the k390 seki line be full production........although I guess even that doesn’t mean you won’t need to be stressed about it. I still haven’t been able to get a maxamet p2.

I feel your pain but I see no solution.

I'm with the consensus on this one - I don't think a Millie LW is happening. It's already a very lightweight design and there's probably little demand for it. PM2 LW is practically inevitable after the success of the P3 LW.
I'm really hoping to see an LC200N Kapara, Millie 2 (probably later in the year), and the rumored "Yojumbo."

Straight Spine or "regular"?
Shorter choil/ longer edge or vice versa?

To be honest, blade profile would not matter that much....I am more into having one sprint run Spydie, and HAP 40 Stretch 2 is not that unrealistic :D

You know that the HAP 40 Stretch 1 Sprint is still available for a reasonable price? (And in that exact configuration imho perhaps the very best EDC folder ever made :D )?
