that was listed here.
It's my fourth Spyderco, and I have to say...
another impressive knife for the money.
I made a few pass's on the Sharpmaker and it's certainly a slicer.
The tip down carry takes some getting used to, but I see what people mean by
"for a knife of it's size" it's a good way to go.
We'll see, maybe I'll install inserts and go tip up as normal.
It needs a little more edc time but, I dont think it will overtake my Para 2's slot
as a M-F work knife.
 
It might bump your PM2 out. I like the military better than the PM2 for a work blade. It's big enough to handle most anything you will encounter, a great slicer, and is so thin and light in the pocket.
 
The military is probably spydercos best knife in my opinion. I really dislike the PM2s mostly due to their locks.

I have a huge pet peeve about the millie though... The flat, ugly ass charcoal grey liner lock... Its so hideous in my opinion, and completely out of place. Itd look great black, or satin.
 
I love the Military and it kicked my para 2 out of my pocket too.

That's because you have giant hands bro!
The Milli is the only knife that scares me.
It's not just that it's big, there are bigger knives, I just feel like I am going to cut my head off when I am using it...

Try carrying it inside-the-waistband at 5-o'clock (or 7, depending on your handedness). I prefer tip-down for that location. It's more discrete and doesn't get in the way of bending over in your pocket. Depending on the knife and your body geometry, you can fit a surprisingly large blade there comfortably. It's a bit harder to reach, but that's the trade-off for discretion.
 
Could be a pain to get at there.... 1911's @ 3:30...
Being able to choke up on it so much makes it surprisingly agile for a knife its size but
once that blade gets in motion, it does snap open with some authority!

My glock stays at 5 o'clock. My knife usually stays in my pocket until I need it, no discretion needed as I am not doing anything illegal and I dont care what other people think :D

I do love my military. Been carrying it the last couple days.
