I have both the Modified Pommel and the Mil model, and as I only just got the 3 Mil a little while ago I am loving it. I really like the canvas micarta handle, more so then the linen micarta. So I suggest getting the 3 Mil, it is now my favorite knife, well the 3 has been my favorite but now the mil has leapt to the top of my list.
Like Adam said, you need one! You won't be disappointed.
