Ti Millie ?

beluga · May 16, 2009

Hey guys,

Trying to clear something up. Is it true that the ti millie is in the works ?

Anybody have an estimate when it'll hit shelves ?

What's the blade steel ?

Blade is S30V. Titanium framelock with a titanium matching scale. It is in prototype/pilot phase I believe, but it's going to happen. I think they've also released pricing to dealers.

Yes,MSRP $350 or $225 street.I hope they do a bead blast Ti.

That doesn't sound too bad. Where did you get this info from?

That street price is pretty accurate according to Tom Berry. :thumbup: No idea about the MSRP though.

It will most definitely be worth the $225 street price. I'm gonna have to act quick, I still haven't got my orange Millie yet.
A Military in all Titanium, it's a dream come true. Can't wait to see the prototype.

We've been begging Sal, but he's quite possessive.

Tom is taking preorders for the Ti millie. I'd get in touch with him. :thumbup:

That's another great thing about Spyderco. Sal listens to the ELU's and pretty much gives us what we want. A very sucessful business strategy that works. :thumbup:

Is it best to contact Tom via email?

Yep. Tom@Spydercovt.com :thumbup:

Now if only Sal would do a Military with 1095 and wooden scales.

Oh, please, please, please, make it with a compression lock.

If not, then that's another Ti Spyderco I'm going to miss.

I'm with you here. RIL is fine. But you'll get no complaints from me either way.

A Ti frame lock Mili sounds pretty much ideal to me

I am not saying that I am going to miss it, but I really would love Spyderco to make a large, leaf-shape FFG with compression lock and CF or Ti scales.
Like put the Stretch blade on the Superhawk, would that work?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!! GOD must love me !!!! It's like an answered prayer !!! Gotta get me one of those (I admit, probably 2 or 3, not just one...)!!
