52100 or CTS-204P Millie?

I have both and neither are going anywhere! I also have three other Millies and plan on getting the titanium version at some point.
 
Seems everyone is split between these two! I'm gonna keep both for now! I have a feeling I'll have seller's remorse as soon as I sell it!

Good decision, and if these two are the only one's you have you made a VERY good decision. Everyone needs a backup Military !
 
I've been really enjoying the 204p millie the last couple of days. I really want to carry and try the 52100, but at the same time want to keep it new in the box. Just in case!
 
Of course , I also suggest keeping both. But if I had to choose I'd keep with 204P. I much prefer stainless.

I love Spyderco's Peel Ply CF, and carry a CF BG-42, so I usually say go with the CF.
But in this case I would keep the great looking green with the 204P. Best G10/Steel combo they've ever put in a Military IMO.

I got both, and sold the 52100. Keeping the 204P.

I agree that the cts204p is one of the best steels ever put in a Military. In my humid climate, I generally prefer stainless. My experience with 204p/m390 has been good.
 
CTS-204P has hundreds times better corrosion resistance than 52100.

Unless you are a fan of patina or really need CF handle then CTS-204P would be a better EDC choice. I'm not a big fan of carbon steel folder though.
 
Just the idea of thinning my edge out on the 52100 to less than 15DPS and still having major edge stability is what's causing me to hold on to this millie! Plus, I love high carbon blades and the "character" they build over time!
