The Military bouts to get a boat load of new fans.

Yeah …. People who like to sit on the couch and flick their knives all day long. I must have weird hands or something, as the Compression lock prevents hard use digging into my hand …

Military is great as is ! And guess which steel I like ?

In M4:

The appropriateness of tip down carry might be directly correlated to how aggressively you put on your pants.

I have a few of the Military model. I only have images of these two...440V and 204P. But I also have REX-45 and S90V.

Unpopular opinion: Compression locks are garbage. The new Stretch XL in Cruwear is the best "Military" (it is essentially a backlock Military) outside of the original Military. There is going to be a 4V Military (original liner lock version) soon as an exclusive from St. Nick's knives. I'll be buying a few of those, but I have zero interest in the Military 2.

I yet own a Spyderco. But having large mittens, I have been eyening the military for a while.
What’s the deal with tip up or down. I have a few knives in either configuration but yet to see how it is so polorizing

I love the CW Stretch 2XL .... (must have, Blues - just saying). But: it's thinner than the Military, so it's different

I don't mind the compression lock , I'd like to get a 2 in hand and see how the handle feels trimmed down

Not in the market at the moment for any new Spydercos...but I'll take it under advisement.

No tip down carry for me, ever.

The only knife I've ever had a problem with is the Benchmade Aphid. I carried it in my front pocket and when I reached in for my keys, I started to pull my hand back out of my pocket and got spiked by a partially deployed blade. Luckily, I realized what was happening at the time and immediately stopped. Always tip up against the seam of my front pocket now. I'm also not a fan of assisted openers, but that's another story.

I've been stabbed by a few Spyderco comp locks in tip up that partially opened in my pocket. Never been nipped by my tip down Militaries.

What pocket are you carrying the knife in? The only way I would ever carry a tip down would be in the back pocket, against the seam. But I don't like carrying a knife there.

Blues , not sure of the criteria, but would it make sense for CPK to have its own sub in the Exchange?

I like this. It would make it a little easier on those of us who try to tune the notifications.
