First of all I want to wish all my forumite brothers and sisters a wonderfully happy new year and hoping we all find new play things, (uh, knives that is), that we can't live without in the coming new year.
As some of you may know, I, like Dex, am a big, big fan of the new model Spyderco Military in CPM440V. I am also a big fan of plain edged blades. I have carried a plain edge Military in 440V daily for approximately eight months now and needless to say I am enamoured with the thing. I have posted numerous reports on the Military, (and won't bore you with another here). It is one of my all time favorite knives. Well, after a lot of encouragement from Dexter, I finally popped for a serrated version, (thanks Dex, and thanks Joe). I am sure glad I did. Like Dex says it is truly a "pocket chainsaw". It is so good that I really believe I like it slightly better than my plain edged version, and that is saying a lot. 440V is such a great steel, and in serrated form it just flat out cuts! Now, I won't go so far as to say if you don't own a new C36 make your first one a serrated, but I will say, either way you just won't go wrong! Let's cover all bases and just say; "BUY BOTH OF 'EM"!
