Really.
Not a fake?

I'm not an expert on Milis but have you ever heard of CPM 440V steel?
The jimping looks way too big to me and I have doubts that there was ever a version that the clip only used 2 screws.

Hello Jester,

I agree with rycen, this isn't a fake. It's a C36 Military; Spyderco really used the CPM-440V blade steel on earlier Millies. More information at Spydiewiki.com. I have a C36 with CPM-440V and plain blade in my collection ;)

Yes you guys are right. Spidiewiki straightened me out. But at least I learned something.

Yes as I said it is a early gen.Made with 440V and ATS-34 with 2 and 3 screw clips.

Appears to have been owned by someone who didn't do much cutting but drank a lot of beer and misplaced his church key pretty regularly. :rolleyes: :D
