I dreamed of a SS CPM M4 Millie

Stainless steel handles, CPM M4, lockback. Someone said so in my dream.

Who'd buy one? I WOULD!

But, Sal or Kristi, is it in the cards?

From what I've heard M4 is supposed to be even better at wear resistance than D2, so that should make a sweet blade. I'm not a big fan of SS handles though, I prefer plain ol G10.

I love G-10 too, but this was in my dream. Maybe we can have full skeletonized liners with G-10, Manix-style instead.

If it was some type of texturized titanium though, then I could go for a metal handle lol. I just wouldn't be able to afford it! :p

Reportedly there are CPM M-4 knives in the works, and it is set to be the next Mule team steel. However, a SS handle on the Military would seem counter productive, seeing as low weight is one of the best features of the knife.

Your best bet for something similar is the new Police 3.

I don't want to sink the ship, but I don't think an SS Millie will happen. The Military was made for G10. CPM M4 sounds likely though. Maybe after the Mule Team? :)

I also doubt the SS handles but the more I think about the cooler I think it would be to see the Military with different handle material. Titanium would do the trick nicely, as Jugg2 mentioned.

Put me down for any kind of Military variation. I'll love 'em all.

I can't wait to get a camo G10 Military. Also, what about making a Military with VG10 blade steel? That would be a big chunk of VG10, and a hard working knife. :D

I definitely wouldn't want to carry a 200 + gram SS millie as an EDC :p , Titanium might work though ;)

Wow! I completely forgot about the 'digital' Millie. Yet another one I am looking forward to. :)

SS in the field might be too hot or cold to the touch. Just a thought. It is a Millie.
