Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
After I posted a picture of my Forum Military on instagram a while back, I noticed I got a -lot- of DMs asking if it was for sale (it's not). Judging from that experience, it seems to be a sought-after variation.

:D thanks for the chuckle, it doesn't happen that often actually and this Forum Military really stood out in that respect.xceptnl wrote:I would imagine your feed gets alot of those DMsMr Blonde wrote:After I posted a picture of my Forum Military on instagram a while back, I noticed I got a -lot- of DMs asking if it was for sale (it's not).

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
I would have to agree, that forum military is hands down the hardest to find due to the low numbers produced. Also the 96 black ats. I cherish my collection and the various steel used. I have one on my possession every day........

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
I thought everyone knew 2 s125v millie's existed.
The hardest one for me to find is a simple CQI titanium model. Every time I buy one it's pre CQI despite being listed otherwise. There are much rarer models but that's my demon.

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
I still don't have a forum Millie nor a D2. I am not sure why D2 is so hard to find but those forum Millies, Man those are beautiful.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

I have on occasion seen D2 Millies on the bay; mind you, not cheap.

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
I have 2 BNIB carbon fiber/m390 millies. I never see those around anymore even on the secondary market. I’ll never sell them though, unless the price goes nutty.
I have 7 of the jade/m4 versions. I love jade, and I love m4. So I got enough to last me a lifetime. Won’t sell any of those either. I think I have a Millie problem.

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
It's the one I kick myself for not getting. Got the others I need and all of mine are users so I'm fine :D

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
This might not be the rarest Millie on earth but i was delighted to find it, LNIB too!

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
The most difficult Millie for me to find is a smooth scaled variant that isn’t Ti. Titanium is too heavy. Surely there is something out there that meets this simple descriptor. :cool:

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
Maybe you could find some smooth G10 (or otherwise) aftermarket scales? I've never really looked at scales for Millies, but I reckon they gotta exist.

Aren't there a few Black Ti Militaries out there?

Re: Most difficult Millie to find??
I look around from time to time and I have never seen anything. It is one of those knife slots that I have wanted to fill for a while but I haven’t looked super hard beyond a quick google search.JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 4:52 pmMaybe you could find some smooth G10 (or otherwise) aftermarket scales?

I own four Militarys- Ti/CF/S90V, gray G10/Cruwear, smurf blue G10/S90V, Black G10/serrated S30V. I have thought about sanding one of the G10 handles. CQI complicates things so far as mixing and matching. The Cruwear and serrated knives have virtually no use except handling and maybe cutting paper. I hate thought of experimenting on one of those
It is not something that I have stressed over too much. Threads like this one just bring it back to my attention. So I mention it.
