It's already of the way, along with a combo blade. At least DLT thinks so. And considering it's the new flagship model, I can't see them NOT making all the variations. They'd be insane not to.

Websites list items as coming soon right after they are announced, it is never an indication of any timeframe.
Some even indicate a timeframe, but it is a guesstimation from them and rarely is accurate lol.

We don't officially know when they'll be available at dealers
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Again, the military 2 is their new flagship model. I can't see a world where they don't give us all the variations. If I had to put money on it, I'd say full SE and combo edges will be available within a year. Maybe even by the end of the year.

Of course, they're on the Reveal and the different edges are listed in it ! Spyderco decided to only reveal models that are either on the line of production or produced already, so it's not gonna take years, people's patience won't be tested very much !

For some dumb reason I also want a fully-serrated all-black Military 2. I don't need one so I hope they don't release it for six months or so.

"WAY" too thin? ... The Millie blade stock is thicker indeed, but as far as I can recall my (PE!) Millie 1: With that long blades and tapering going on, effectively not that much thicker seen over the whole blade than on the Stretch XL - and especially the tip not much more solid (to me the tip is pretty much the only part of a folder (!!) blade where thickness really matters. THIS is the only place where there is a real risk to snap the blade in even hard folder tasks (thus I like folders like the Delica with reasonably thin and slicey blades but a bit reenforced tips, but don´t fully understand models like the Para 3 with overly fat blades but still rather fragile tips).

YES !! Way too thin. I’m a Fireman/Paramedic for 30yrs and that blade never gave me Confidence to do what I do. Cut a seatbelt, cut off someone’s clothes ?? Yes, but that’s where it ends !! And BTW, I also carry Small Steel Prybars for a variety of things including Jimmy doors/windows.
I can’t tell you how many Cops I’ve seen with knives that had Broken Tips 😜 A knife is made for cutting, but in an Emergency is gunna be what you need it to be 😎

If I get you right I think I am with you

Knives with thick bladestock but fragile tips don´t make much sense to me.

In most even harder knife tasks the actual blade of a knife in for example Delica size will be thick enough with 2.5mm stock to not break (AND still be slicey) - it is the very tip that is in danger in hard and fast work (where one just does not have the time to take much care of that tip).

So, imo:
- IF a knife is given a rather fat blade anyway, give it a stout tip too (Shaman!)
- Better though in my use :Reasonably thin bladestock, but a bit reenforced tip (Endura!)

I believe 2 is one one is none !! I actually carry 2 blades at all times. My recent carry is a SOG XR and a Fully Serrated Endura so funny you should say that ??
BTW- this morning I lost a Brother 🥲 That Helicopter Crash was my Department !! Crew of 3, both the Pilot and Fireman/Medic made it out after Crash Landing but the Captain/Medic never made it out !! Plz God I Pray to you that he was Killed on Impact or Unconscious before the Fire got him ?? 🙉 BTW- he’s got a 13yo Daughter 🥲
