Military is perfect. I’m serious.

I think that it might be to match people’s sharpening preferences. The Vanadium Carbide in Magna-Cut is harder for traditional ceramic and aliminum oxide waterstone and sharpeners to sharpen.

Bingo for me. I plan on the LC200 Chief. Easy to maintain on the sharpmaker.

The chiefs are going to be popular. I’m going for the Salt SE.

I really wish BBS would order another run of the S90v Blue Military. Guessing it took too long to sell out.

Yeah, I’m really banking on GPKnives doing their Rex45 and white FRN thing.
Their Native 5s were priced so well.

This will be a fantastic combo.

I know it’s not on the list, Military 1.

Just in case it’s on a sunset. Could be the last chance as the knife makers at Golden still make them. In the future the Military 2 will likely dominate.

The 15V heat treat has been well received. Guessing the standard Gas laden models “should” follow. I’m holding out for the Native 5 and Para 3 as 3” blade is needed by a few. Military would sell as well.

I might have to cave on this one.

Guessing it’s going to be really nice. I hope they ground them thin, thin. It has hefty blades stock so take it down skinny at the edge.

I would stay default, right side tip down. I am a Millie 1 fan. Enjoy the 2 any way you want to carry.

My Gayle Bradly Air has been a fine whittling knife. The handle is a little to small for longer sessions but the wharnie M4 blade is built for the task.

I hope all the Dad’s have a good one today. Bright and sunny this morning out west.

I dunno I'd say the exact opposite, small blades benefit from serrations because they literally add edge length and cutting aggression. Small blades suffer from less space to make slicing motions, but serrations are slicing 99% of the time. An easier comparison here is a PE Ladybug vs a SE Ladybug....

Hard to accept but the best knife I have picked up in years is a Manbug Salt, H1 SE. They should issue these to Dad's when they leave delivery. Exceptionally capable tool.

I know I don't need another knife. Trying to limit it to Military 1's and Native 5's of interest.

One of my thoughts for a Native 5 in 52100. I like the Native 5 for whittling. Something about the choil being the natural grip and the 52100 being well heat treated in past spyderco models. AEB-L would be the stainless option.

dan31

But, I sure want to hear more about how the Military2 performs, and particularly how it compares to the original. In other words, what separates the Military2 in the right direction? I hope they keep the Military 1. Imagine all the Military 2 owners years in the future asking for the original model...

Military 1, buy while you can.

I have been hoping the native 5 and Chief would get 52100. You never know. Sal made it happen for the military family.

Bummer on the stone radius. How are you liking the Military in 4V?
