Pimped-out Military

[brj]

As I was reading through the Military 2 thread on the Spyderco forum the other day, I noticed some suggestions on potential mods to the original (bigger screws and/or lanyard hole, full sized liners, etc) so I thought I'll share with you all how the Millie would look like if totally rebuilt from scratch keeping but the original blade - and having:



Anso-style G10 handles



full sized liners & G10 backspacer (& slightly enlarged lanyard hole)




custom pivot & screws



enjoy !

What does the full back spacer do for ya? I like an open back.

not much, I do admit that most of my other 14 Millies feature standoffs ... but it's nice for a change

Looks sweet Regarding the full spacer, other than a slight increase in rigidity it does do one other thing. I had a couple instances in the past where an open backspacer knife and some change were in my pocket at the same time, and a coin managed to find itself into that open backspacer area and wedge itself between the blade and liner. One time it got wedged in so bad I needed a pair of pliers to remove the coin before I could open the knife. With full backspacers this hasn't been a problem.

Wow that is amazing!!! Great work, I'm super jealous

I'm sorry, but to me it's taboo for anything else to go in the knife pocket. I need an empty pocket because I often drop my knife into the pocket without clipping. Till my task is done. Then reclippit.

That looks great!
Are the liners steel or titanium?
Do you know what the knife weighs now?

Very cool!
