With all the talk about the Military or the Paramilitary 2 being better or preferred, I thought I'd throw this one out. Which Millie is your favorite and why?

I'll start: it's a tie between my M390 with CF handles, and my M4 with Ti/G10 handles. I love M4, but M390 and CF is hard to beat.

What are your thoughts?
 
I only have one sadly, but I think it is a pretty good one. I like the color of G10, and CRUWEAR has impressed me. I know I like it better than S30V.
 
I'm still very fond of my old 1996 era ATS34 bladed, black oxide finish, plain edge Military! What a mouthful :D
 
S90V with smooth CF scales

I've never bought any of the fancy sprint run stuff. Just have three plain Millies, one original CPM 440V from 1996, one S30V black right hand model from 2012, and one S30V natural left hand model from 2012. Not planning on buying any of the sprint runs either. I mostly edc the 1996 model, it has survived the test of time well. Been honed god knows how many times, yet when I compare it to the two newer ones, any wear on the blade or loss of length due to honing is indistinguishable.
 
So far it's the black dlc s30v blade model with camo scales. The DLC wears quite well and the s30v works well and is easy to sharpen. The sprints always interest me and I might need a fluted titanium one but have not met one in person yet.
 
A Carbon Fiber BG-42 is the one I carry the most, so I'll go with it.
 
BG42 here as well.

Traded my M4 Millie for the first CF Millie made; single liner, S30V with the old style jimping. The added weight of the ti side added nothing over lighter and grabbier CF. I did like M4 though...

Senorsquare, I did the exact same thing to mine. I tried to put my S90V blade in but I had lock rock. My Cruwear blade is perfect though. I also do stand offs and up sized the torx to T8's. man it looks and feels great now.

Where do you get the T8 screws?
 
My black g10/cruwear frankenmillie with standoffs! And now thanks to Vegas, some upgraded screws!
 
My Lefty is my favorite but I am starting to warm up to the Cruwear one.
 
I got the T8 torx at usaknifemakers. They are a 2-56 T8. Much stronger and easier to work with. Combined with steel standoffs and WOW!! Really neat.

Johnny, I didn't get those screws cut last night, but I didn't forget. I will get them cut and enrt to you.
 
No rush bro, I don't think these factory screws will fall out anytime soon! :)
 
I have only owned two.

I carry the blue S90V Millie when I wear blue jeans and the Cruwear gray(?) when I wear khakis.

I think I like the blue one better but I am still in the honeymoon phase on both of them.
