Well I have decided that the Military is officially my favorite EDC. After going without one for years, I have acquired five within the last few months. It started with a S90V, Smurf. Then it was the Cruwear. Recently it is the M4 half Ti, the full Ti, and today the CF BG42. I guess when I go, I go all the way. :-) Only need the M390, and the green D2. Prolly will hold off on the M390 due to cost, and the D2 because it isn't my favorite steel.

Lets hear from you fellow Millie fans: which one or ones do you like and why? Any you don't like?
 
My fav was my Orange Millie, but I retired that for a camo. My two fave Spydercos are the Millie and Endura.
 
I handled a Military for the first time at a gun show a couple weeks ago the camo with DLC blade and now I must have one it's such a badass knife!
 
I love the Military! I haven't kept them all, but I've owned every version made since 1996. I'd say the Orange one is my least favorite, only because its so bright!

This one is my favorite, mainly for nostalgia's sake. It's a 1996 all black Military. ATS-34 steel, two screw clip style.

I really like that knife! I've never owned one, however, I'm currently looking for another EDC
 
Got my first one (ti model) a couple of weeks ago. Took me a few days to warm up to it, but I'm really enjoying the knife now. Hell of a knife.

Looks like a safe queen.... :D
 
Just ordered my first Millie yesterday. Held one in my hand and didn't want to put it down. The knife is simply amazing. Love the s30v but haven't used it a whole bunch. Interested in seeing what edge retention will be like.
 
Since I purchased my first Millie I definitely fell in love, great model. Second Millie should arrive tomorrow! Would love to get them all but as funds won't allow it I'll slowly work on getting at least a few that I love.
 
The Military is my favorite knife. I have a few of them. Not sure which one of them is my favorite. I seem to like them all. :)
 
It ruined a lot of other knives for me. It's ergos and raw performance set the bar really high for a lot of other folders.
 
I think the military is close to the perfect knife. It just needs a hard wear upgrade and possibly a new locking mechanism.
 
The main detraction for me is the clip is backwards for my liking.








This one is the rare thin model. Same as this one next to the std version..(not my pics)

broke down and bought a Military Camo, plain blade, a few months ago. It's just too big for me, as an EDC. Probably will sell it, as I just ordered a Para Military II. The dealer SAID it was in stock and would ship today. Hope so, as I have been looking for one a long time.
 
The Military is a classic. Big and lightweight. It's more than I need for an EDC but it's still in the rotation. I've owned a few. The current one I own with the digi camo is the smoothest I've experienced.
 
In my top 3 Spyderco knives, with Manix and Para :) I would love to have the M4 version, but It's very hard to find now :( these are the ones I have... at the moment!
