What do you mean by collectors knife.

[fultoncoshooter]

I guess i mean a knife people will be searching for 2 or 3 years from now

I doubt it very much & I don't think the price will jump subtanially as well in the upcoming years. There are many other knives I can think of being much more of a collectors knife in your terms.

Manix

Ronin
Lums

The list goes on and on

I got the military. I chose it because if it doesn't go up in value, then I can use it

[fultoncoshooter]

any1 know how many will be made?

[brj]

I think I saw somewhere mentioned a grand total of 1000 pcs for the C36CF90VP millie, but I've been wrong before
if by collectors item you mean that in a 2-3 yrs period the price will go sky high on this one, I think this may not be the case
for me it's just a splendid user, even if it doesn't see so much pocket time as my regular military in S30V

[So-Lo]

I don't buy knives I would not use. This said......I love my s90 Mili. I reprofiled it on my edge pro!

Talk about a monster!!!

Thanks everyone for the info!!!!

I own knives that get used everyday and i have knives that stay in my safe and dont get used.

Im just looking to get some knives to put away and not have to worry about them loosing there value.

[Michael Cook]

I choose ease of resharpening over edge retention, guess how I voted.

[bladese97]

I used to worry, and prioritize "collectibles verses users" a while back, and was told by many Spyderminds here that all Spyderco's are made to be clipped, used, and sharpened, etc. I do think however, that some will hold, or grow in value, when others won't. Like theTi-Atr ...I was looking for one for a while, and found a sight that carried them for 750 bucks

Yeah i can understand people who feel that they should be used. My brother has a old non marked police PE he uses as his everyday carry. My work knives get used hard! yes i even pry with them now and then. but its a replaceable knife so i dont really care if i snap the blade. I have a few Theuns Prinsloo knives that i would never dream about doin such activities with.

Here is the knife i got from Theuns at the shot show





as for my work knives i use a cheap ass S&W folder which has held up for 2 years now. My camp and hiking knife is a gerber LMF




I do plain on getting a endura for EDC but for now im just buying collectibles

[Troy]

Thought this was worth a bump.

[chuck_roxas45]

Oh wow! I'd rather spend a bit more and get immense enjoyment and satisfaction from using my knife than to get something and put it in a safe and use a "lesser" knife. Besides as someone said, if you're not going to use your knives, you can bet that your wife's new husband will.

[Sonny]

It would be worth a bump if these were still available for a reasonable price tab. $500 is a bit steep.

So, I guess it would've been a good investment for the OP.

I bought one for $187, wish I would have bought 10. I use mine daily and it still has the factory edge. The M390 CF Military will be in my hands today and it's what prompted a search.

[Sht]

Voted no so that someone that will use it could buy one.

[mikerestivo]

Your poll presents a tough choice because it compares the Military M390 CF to every other available knife indirectly (by providing a vote for "There are better options for $200.00"). It's kind of like asking "should I get a red car or some other color?". Do you have other knives in mind?

[dschur]

I enjoy my S90V Military a great deal and carry it easily half the days of the week. It is one of my favorite knives, and yes I did pay a premium for it at the time.

That said I have now added 2 M390 Military's along side it. In my mind it is every bit as good a blade if not better. For anyone looking these days, get the M390 NOW. It is a great deal and I suspect it will not be so in 6 months.
