All my blades (folding and fixed) are made in the USA (except my moneyclip boker subcom, and SAK). As far as folders, I have benchmades, I have Kershaws and ZT's, I have CRK's. Now I bought my first spyderco, and I'm glad I did.
The brown Millie is my first spyderco. I like the simplicity and thin design, as most my knives (folding and fixed) are beefy thick. The handle on this thing is HUGE! It makes the blade seem bigger than it is, and should be great for wintertime gloves.
I usually simultaneously carry a couple cutting tools to handle different tasks. I've been looking for a quality folder that I can use on the go for my food (apples, carrots, salami, cheese, sandwiches, ect) and that I won't have to sharpen very often. I thought the brown Millie would do well for this so I decided to give it a test run on some babyback ribs.
Brown vs BabyBack ribs
The millie is not quite long enough to clear the ribs at midpoint.
using a different approach, Millie is able to sever one from the rack.
It appears, Millie Brown is able to handle the BabyBack despite the size difference
After this shot, I didn't want to handle the camera anymore because my hands got quite greasy. Besides, it was time to EAT!
Cutting all these ribs up, I hit the bone a few times, the blade seems no worse for wear. It cleaned up easily (even the greasy handles).
All in all, I'm impressed with the millie and look forward to giving it some pocket time.
And I think this cemented a resolve to pre-order of one of those CF m390 Millies
