I was looking around at the Military models, and I can't find one with a titanium framelock and a G10 non locking scale. Does such a thing exist? Is it possible to Franken one with two Millies? While building a Franken Millie isn't really a competitive option, if it is possible then the factory could build one out of stock parts.
 
There was a G10/Ti military with M4,long gone.You can build your own but Spyderco does not do custom orders.
 
ive frankenspydied my para2's many times, but im not sure if the titanium lock faces are the same as the liner lock faces. if that makes sense

I don't see why that would be a problem, since if you had both knives to Franken, you'd just use the blade and titanium lock scale from the same knife, so they'd already be mated.
 
There have been changes in the Military tang ramp over time. Current production blades *may* or ***may not*** swap in. My Ti/G10 currently has an M390 blade, but I had to try three different blades before I got a safe lockup.

This is the right way to do it, you are really just swapping no-lock side handle slabs. I did it with a Sage 1 and 2, didn't care for it much and swapped it back, but it worked perfectly. I am not totally positive every Military's G10 handle will mate perfectly to a Ti lock and corresponding knife though. There are a lot of different Military's out there. I would love to get my hands on the real one with M4 though.

Yeah, that is half the problem $ is the other half. I am however very glad to see it being sold here, and not on Ebay. I will be picking up a Gayle Bradley eventually, M4 is actually the thing I am longing for, as I have not tried it out yet. Someone who has been longing for that knife will be very happy:)
 
I swap out the S30V blades from the Ti Military with ones that I like more. So far I have one in CPM-M4 and one in M390. I suppose I could use the black CF and Digicam non-locking scales, but I like Ti more. Also, I think it'd be kinda strange to have a linerlock with a Ti non-locking scale I think.
