Spyderco Military Fluted Titanium RIL (C36TIFP)

After missing out on the Military Cru-Wear (C36GGY) I'm glad I was able to see the email notification from GP Knives in time to snag one of these beautiful Military Fluted Titanium handles and frame lock! :thumbup:

So will that be the blue handle or are they not doing those anymore?

Since I ordered it from GP Knives I assume it'll be like their posted picture:

The last one you posted is from back when they were flame anodizing them. They stopped doing that because they were having too much trouble with the scales warping and having to scrap more than they wanted. Since then, they electrically anodized them, leading to a more uniform color.

The more recent blue anodized ones looked more like this:

(That one is mine, purchased directly from the mothership in Golden)
 
I've had my fluted Ti mili for a couple years. I used it so much, most of the anodizing rubbed off on the scales so I sent it off to get stonewashed. A far better finish for a user. I prefer the clean Ti

Those are the rules. Sorry. Membership has it's privileges ;), and honestly, $30 a year for Gold is a mere 8.22 cents a day. Can you honestly tell me you don't get that much back from this site? :D

Ghey... Free is key, there is plenty of ways to fund a site without tapping the members. Russ
