My goodness, that’s one **** of a cutting tool. My 4V Mille is a fine piece. Well done to the knife makers at Golden!

Fine looking piece. If this is the last Millie they picked a nice way to go out. Postman comes at the end of my day.

The more knives I get the more I fall into this trap. I have a standard rotation of knives through the week. New knives get appreciated and use/work goes to the current rotation. Eventually the new will get used. Not sure when. It’s a hobby.

I would rather see a K390 gen.1 Military. That has been possible for a long time. ABEL was also on my wishlist (Millie and Native 5) but the steel has not made it to Golden CO.

If you find the 4V Millie too large or not your cup of tea, just give it time and come back to it later. It’s my favorite large blade Spydie. I will say that I carry my Millie in right rear pocket. I feel it was made for that carry being tip down and a longer handle.

Military 4V. Good year so far.

St. Nicks is a smooth transaction. Glad to get luck and grab a 4V Millie.

Spyderco makes some highly desirable sprint runs. This is great for us and diligence will pay off.

I will likely miss the St. Nicks Military in 4V. I will be on a plane and it will likely be sold out when I land. It’s just the luck of the draw. There will be other knives you can count on that.

Bummer, I will be on a plane. I will check when I land but odds are it will be long gone.

Great piece. I have the satin version.

I am waiting for the 15V Native G10. Maybe the Chief. Just waiting…

Thank you for the effort to run 15V through the Sharpmaker progression. It’s all about getting a good result from the CBN/diamond first step. Just like using stones freehand. You have to get the apex set on the first low grit step, then refine.

Nice work in that Millie. My 52100 is my favorite. The 204P exclusive is well liked. Enjoy that new edge.

...This slams the blade against the lock tang. If your looking to create some play in the lock, then by all means flick away. Wouldn't this be the case for any type of lock? Deformation is a possibility over repeated flicks, right? Is there something better about flicking open a blade with a stop p...

I have no problem with the Endura. Stretch might be a bit harder.

I can, but do not flick my back locks. Please consider why you spydie flick a back lock? This slams the blade against the lock tang. If your looking to create some play in the lock, then by all means flick away.

Well, it seems USPS has lost my order for LynchNW clips (one for this knife and one for my K390 PM2). From what I can tell, it hasn't moved since it hit Spokane, WA on 1/19. I just reordered those two clips (shipped Priority this time) in stonewash w/feather... plus a long clip for the BRG FRN, ZDP...

Uncoated Endura would be a buy. Something about blacked out blades doesn’t work for me. I only have one DLC blade.

Ugh, I guess HAP40 on the land and LC200N for the ocean.

The most balanced steels might be CPM Cruwear and CPM S90v.

David hit the bullseye. I love the Military 1, it just happens to have a liner lock. I prefer the liner lock on the Military 1 to the comp lock on the PM2. It’s not wrong, just different. I get all sides and I am supremely comfortable preferring the Military 1. I plan on picking up at least 1 or 2 m...

How the clip fits in our hands is number 1 for me. We each have different hands and different holds. I tend to prefer regular clips or milled clips that have the same position like the RGT clip. Deep carry just makes the knife harder to get out for me.
