I just got this knife from a fellow forum member and am very, very impressed by it. Much more than I was anticipating. It's probably the most solid folding knife I own along with my Hinderer XM-18. It is amazingly solid for a large folder. There is zero flex in the pivot and solid lockup, no matter how much I try and flex it with both hands.

I have a carbon fiber Military in M390 and a brown G10 in CTS-XHP, and both of them are good knives. But they just do not lock up with the same overall strength as this Titanium Military. I like it so much I just ordered a second "backup" from a dealer. Very good job, Sal. This is truly a killer knife.

These are large pics so you can see lots of detail, 1600px wide. Here's the links to open in a new window if they won't load correctly here.

some people dismiss the ti millie as the metrosexual version of the military. i think it's far more comfortable to handle, easier on the pocket, and very few real men complain about an extra-2 ounces. and as you observed, in the open position, it feels like a fixed blade.
 
Thats a darn good looking knife. I had one and sold it for the reasons that Mr. Hank alluded to (its heavier, slicker and spendier than G10), but your pics might lure me back to another. And I can totally relate to you buying a "backup".
 
I had a M4 Military for awhile. I just couldn't warm up to it because to me, I could feel the "imbalance" in the handles. An all Ti like you've shown would appeal to me much more. Great pics.
