A cornerstone in Spyderco's Save and Serve line up, the
Military Model came about after someone asked Spyderco's owner Sal
Glesser, "If your son were going into the military what folding knife
would you send him with?" For certain, it had to meet the requirements
of a high-performance, light-weight folder designed for hard use.
Since the steel is the spirit of the knife, CPM-S30V with almost 2%
carbon seemed the logical choice for the blade given its reputation for
long-term edge retention and rust resistance. The 'Millie' has a
modified clip-point blade laser cut with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for
quick deployment and for use with gloves. Texturing above the hole hold
the thumb in contact with the blade's spine during cutting for confident
control over the sharpened edge. The handle scales are G-10 with the
lock's liner nested (inlayed) directly into the scale, pumping up lock
strength without the addition of bulky liners. Spacers between the
scales create a gap running the handle's full length exposing the inside
workings for inspection and cleaning. The handle flares slightly at the
front end creating a finger choil and at the butt end, which keeps the
knife from slipping forward or backward in the hand while sawing or
making tough or aggressive cuts. A contoured black metal clip is set for
right-hand tip-down carry.
Features 4.00 in. CPM-S30V black blade and a 5.50 in. G10 handle. Comes
complete with a pocket clip. Made in Golden, Colorado.
