Will Spyderco sale me a replacement blade for my Milli ? And dose anyone have any idea what one would cost ?
 
They don't replace blades afaik. If the knife is faulty you get a new one or credit if it is no longer made.

If you have a CF military you could buy a normal G10 Military and swap the blade and locking liner and you should be fine (depends a bit on the age of both knives since there have been some small changes)
 
Well, what I have is a Sprint Run Orange handled Military that the previous owner scratched up the blade rather badly sharpening it. So you are saying I can buy a new blade from Spyderco ? And if you don't mine me asking how hard are they to replace ?
 
Your best bet may be to send the Millie in and ask if they can just refinish the blade(remove the scratches). Spyderco doesn't sell replacement blades or switch them out either. I recently sent in my CF/M390 Military for a concern that I had on it and received credit for another knife of equal value because a defect was found and they couldn't just put that M390 blade on another handle because even the most minor of changes in CQI wouldn't allow replacement possible.
 
Yes that would be my second choice. I was thinking of having a Service provider here on Blade Forums resurface the bade for me.
 
Re-finishing a spyderco is very easy. Get some 320 grit and 2000 grit sandpaper, move the blade in only one direction until the scratches are gone then lightly polish with the 2k.

You would have to buy a whole new Military, they don't sell blades.

Since it is just scratches sending it in or removing them yourself would be easier

^^ seconded! It isn't all that hard, just a little time consuming. If it's just scratches and the blade geometry is all still good and not fubar, a little sandpaper ought a get them out right quick. :) "Quick" of course being a relative descriptor of the time involved. Hahaha!
