That Ti Military CF/S90V shall be mine. Wonder how long until we see it.

Yeah, the more I think about things that I like in life (spyderco, the military model, frame locks) the clearer the picture becomes. The s90 Millie I'll get for sure.

I would wager we are some time out from seeing it. Which I like actually. I need to save up for that, the green millie, and m4 para.

I'd love a backup of each but that's out of the question.

I predicted this would happen when the PM2 dealer exclusive frenzy was happening.

The dealer commissions and pays $180,000 +/- up front for a special run like this. Then people order multiples at the “Street Price” that may only be a 10-15% margin for the dealer that paid out up front. The dealer gets to watch as they are flipped to the secondary market at 50-75% mark up. In the last PM2 frenzy they were being listed to be flipped as soon as people had a tracking # from the dealer, before the flippers had actual possession of the knives. In business that is known as leaving money on the table.

It is better to maximize your Return on Investment at an initial launch of an item that has proved to be a good seller in the past. You can do a sale price later to move inventory if needed.

That's only $45 more than the standard black G10/s30v Millie. Some people would pay a small premium for the green scales, even without the upgrade in steel. Based on the MSRP, it's priced lower than the blurple s110v Millie will be; and that one is supposed to become a regular stock item. People will have to decide for themselves, whether the price is worth it.

I don't see the same #'s as you

The S110V:
MSRP $280.96
MAP is $173.97

The CTS 204P:
MSRP $269.95
Current list : $199.95
MAP would be $161.97

I don’t think you will ever see another dealer exclusive at MAP except for the handful CC # ones that end up at dealers the CC members have designated that don’t get bought by the CC member
 
I specifically referenced MSRP, not MAP (I don't know the percentage off MSRP for MAP, and wasn't interested in looking). Pricing for the S110v wasn't listed (I only checked knifeworks.com because that's where the CTS 204p is)

It's a dealer exclusive....personally, I don't see anything wrong with them profiting more off that than a general stock item.
 
I've been waiting and waiting for this. Unfortunately I'm planning to move in the next month or two, so I'll feel better waiting. Bummer, lol. I swear I've been on this list for over a year now.
 
I may wait a while on these KW-exclusive Spyderco Military CTS-204P Green G-10 at $199.95 shipped. It's a 1,200 piece run so there should be plenty to go around. A couple of years ago, I remember paying just $149.95 for the KW-exclusive Spyderco ParaMilitary2 CTS-204P Green G-10!
 
The Para2 was nice, I'll take a Millie.

They pop up in the Exchange, periodically...but they're usually posted at $50-75 over the second run price, even for users.

Is that a Millie 2? Don't think I'm a fan of the pinned stop pin.

I'm guessing that it's not pressed in? Floating? Allowing for disassembly and simpler pivot adjustment?
If that's the case I'm a fan.
 
What is the deal with the pinned stop pin? Why would they do that? Or, is it a photoshop error?
