    Smile Got my first Sypderco today!

    Military with G10 with black s30v combo. Everything is just as great as I thought it would be. Really stoked on it!

    I also have a KME sharpening system and strops with .5 micron compounds on the on the way so I can see how crazy sharp I can get this.

    IMO, Spydercos are like Glocks to the handgun world. While there are more artsy/custom knives, I am just totally taken by their modern design, materials and performance. They just do it for me.

    Great start. It took me years to work up to a Millie. A serrated Millie is like a buzz saw.

    Welcome redii. You made a great choice for your first Spydie. Glock and Military, it doesn't get much better than that. Ok, now what's on your list for your next Spyderco. It doesn't matter what Spydie you get, there is ALWAYS another one (or more) that you HAVE to have next.

    The CE Millie is one of my favourites. I can't think of one time it couldn't handle what I asked. The small serrated section is perfect for rope/fiborous material and leaves enough plain for everything else.

    One of the few knives I own where I am seriously thinking about a back-up. I pair mine up with a Delica most times (G10 one of the other FFG). That is a classic pair from Spyderco.

    Enjoy.

    Congrats on the 1st purchase - you do know how to start out at the top!

    Oh and by the way - thinking about the next one...I was going to say its a slippery slope youve just stepped on, but nah - really its more like a cliff. Youre already in a freefall - you just might not know it yet...
