What a knife! KW exclusive Green Military CTS 204p
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 6:36 pm
A little about me: I’ve been a “knife guy” since I was a little kid, I like all the stereotypical guy stuff...motorcycles, guns, hiking/camping, my wife, football, eagles, doing the right thing. I’m 6’1” 200lbs. It’s important to know who’s writing the review:)
To me, the Green 204 Military is just a piece of art. All of it. The shape of the blade, the handle, spacers, lanyard hole,smooth action...it’s just hands down awesome.
The green G-10 is going to appeal to a wide variety of people. It’s not a loud, it’s the type of green you would expect a Forest Ranger’s knife to be. The texture of the G-10 on this knife is agressive compared to a lot of other knives I’ve owned, but not obnoxiously aggressive, just “aggressive when you need it” aggressive.
The hardware used to put this knife together is just outstanding. Everything looks and feels substantial, almost has an industrial look to it. Way cool.
The blade steele is CTS 204P, Google it. Basically it’s a super steele most people will not fully utilize or be able to appreciate...myself included. The blade came impressively sharp and centered out of the box, but that’s just the Spyderco way, we are spoiled:)
The grip options are impressive. You can grip back on the handle comfortabley, if let’s say you want to stab a scary bug without getting too close, or you can choke up on the knife to carve or open Amazon boxes...and anywhere in between. Lots of real estate with lots of options. How does it feel to me? Perfect, but I have large hands and I don’t know what YOUR hands are like, so I can’t say it’s going to be awesome for everyone.
The knife options we have today are totally different than what was available let’s say 30 years ago. We are all soo very lucky. It breaks my heart that people are going to miss out on this knife because of all the other super cool options Spyderco has put out in the last 2-3 years. The sprints, exclusives, new models...just kinda caused this Military to be lost in the noise.
I couldn’t be happier with my decision to add this Military to my collection. The quality of this knife is just outstanding and I wanted to share my thought on it with you.

Rick
