cts-xhp military first impressions

Yeah VA! For the longest time I used to say ill never buy a military because of its size. Now I own 7, and the xhp millie even managed to kick the para2 from my pocket..a knife which many consider one of the best edc knives

yea ive carried a military for many many years! VA two up two down!!
 
XHP is a great working steel. Gets very sharp, holds a working edge well, doesn't chip, and is easy to touch up.
 
I like the XHP on the military. I find that it holds that fine edge for quite a lot longer than most of my other steels.
 
the XHP i had on my Manix 2 was THE SHARPEST steel on any of my spyderco knives that i ever had. It's really great.
 
Love everything about this Millie version. The brown G-10 is my favorite. Liked it so much I pre-ordered a brown Para 2. And the XHP steel is awesome stuff. I wish I could get away with carrying a knife that big more often.
 
Just do it. Don't ask for permission. It's really a good carry size and all other knives seem too small after you're used to it.
 
I like the XHP a LOT. I'm thinking of sending my brown and orange milies in for a factory blade swap... unless I can hold out for the M390...
 
I'm really liking the CTS-XHP on my Manix 2.Takes a really sharp edge and doesn't take much effort to sharpen.
 
Apparently the brown millie didn't make much of an impression on the OP since he just turned around and sold it on the exchange. :D
 
XHP is my number one most favorite steel for its ease in quickly returning to peak sharpness, its my second favorite behind m390 performance wise. I too own a pair of XHP Millie's and I'm protective of the second one, for performance reasons.

Soon my collection will be all 390, XHP, and 20cp.

My 154cm and s30 blades are bitching about 2nd class citizenship and joblessness, since they don't get any carry time now.
Ive got a possible #OCCUPY $AFE revolt brewing.
