What two should I keep? Help me Obiwan

I need to unload some knives, but struggling with which Millie to keep. I have 5 Millie's and want to get to two. Of these which would you keep and why? I am not attached to any in particular. Just need help getting me over the hump in my decision process. Like, would you keep just the hard to get sprint or exclusive or just the stainless vs the non, etc?

Fluted Ti
S110
M4 Jade
Green 204p
52100 CF

For exampl, I am down to just two PM2's after having over a dozen. Trying to simplify my life in all areas and clearing out some of my knives is one way.


And before someone chimes in, this is not a veiled attempt to sell a knife. That will all be done on bladeforums the normal way. This is purely research. Seeking he from bro knife nuts.

I personally would keep the 204p and S110V. Bc I like the steels and the colors.

I would keep the Fluted Ti and the M4 Jade myself.

Impossible. You have most of my favorite versions. I think the M4 is in my future and I carry the S110V daily but I also love my 52100. I don't think I could pick just 2 out of those 3.

I don't know those models but I'd keep whichever are special colors or limited runs or otherwise unique compared to the majority unless there were any special circumstances like being a gift from someone special or whatever. Good luck with your decisions.

Given that there are only 10 possible combinations and you've already gotten four of them, I suspect the other 6 will show up quickly here. For me, I'd go M4 and 52100 just because I like those steels. Now there are 5 combinations to go.

If you're down to two PM2's, maybe keep two Millie's that aren't twins to the PM2's you've kept? That way, you can keep a broader variety of steels & colors. Beyond that, is there any one that is a definitive favorite?

I mean: yeah, they're all wonderful (duh). Nothing will be fun to get rid of. But if there's anything you'll miss more than the others, make sure you keep that...

Good luck, man!

204P and the 52100. You'd have everything covered with these two.

204P and the 110V. (the Ti is cool, though)

I don't have 52100 yet, but as you must know, M4 and 204P are mighty fine steels. I wouldn't want to deny myself those two.

Fluted Ti as the S30v is a very good steel and the Ti scales with no liners would be best around saltwater and easiest to keep clean. 204P as the steel gets razor/sticky sharp quite easily, holds it's edge and is has good stainless qualities. The color is also great making it a fantastic Millie.

One liner lock and one R.I.L? 204P and the fluted Ti.

You are better off keeping three. Carbon fiber! Everyone needs a CF!

So, 204P, 52100, and Fluted Ti. There you go :confused:

I only have an s30v lefty, but if I were right handed I'd have the 204P and 52100.

Well, if nothing else, 204P seems to be popular here...
