Dude, I literally came to this Spyderco forum to post this same topic. Why not Military love as of late!?!? No S35VN, no S45VN, no Cruwear… what gives?

I would buy an S45VN or Cruwear military asap.

A cruwear Millie was produced years ago if you’re ok with pre-CQI. I am and love mine.

I know man. I loved my grey Military in Cruwear, but unfortunately sold it during covid. They are too much money now imo.

I hear you. I managed to get mine before the prices went whacko. Also feel you on S45VN. I was disappointed when we didn’t get a green diamond-arc s45 Millie. Among others like maxamet, etc.

I have very little interest in a comp-lock Millie but if they are willing to bring on some new steels on the existing platform, I'd be willing to make some room for them

Even the production models are often hard to find.

Top to bottom, left to right, #15, what is that ? PM3 with Military clip ?

Looks like a PM1 CPM D2 sprint.

Yup, it's the Para 1 in D2

Alright. I'm curious about hHow much people are willing to pay for a new military with g10 scales of some color and non-s30v blade steel?

$225 if knife is currently being produced.

To clarify, I am not asking about the prices of any Militarys I have. Rather, I am asking if there is a new Military released by Spyderco, what would be your acceptable price?

yablanowitz · Mar 28, 2022

Depends on what it is. I've been saving for a Maxamet Military for four years, so I'd go Sebenza money at least.

Sorry for not being clear but I meant a new one as well. Same answer either way.

I would pay $335 for Maxamet.

The S110V Millie is $285 where I am, guess I would pay upto $335 for Maxamet.

Damn I must have missed some big price increases since I got my s110v. Guess I’ll have to adjust my answer to around 300

If you were excited about the Stretch XL, like I was, because it appeared close to a backlock Military, well, it’s not. Feels fragile in comparison. I understand the usefulness of linerless construction in the Salts, but it feels cheap in the VG10 XL.

Getting rid of liners for extreme weight reduction is just silly, IMO. I guess there is an application for “PJ EDC”, but that’s about it ...

Thanks for the report. I’ve definitely been eyeing that one so good to know

I’d just love to see a tip up carry Military. Sell a lot more of ‘em!

I just want more framelock Militaries.

They sell all of them they can make now.
