I just bought a endura with the flat grind, cant wait to receive it. Been pondering the millie and the new police. I just am wondering what people think between the three. I decided to go with the endura hoping the tip has more meat to it. I have the older police and it is a nice knife and a couple other enduras but just wondering peoples opinions on the three since they are pretty similar sans the military and its upgraded steels.
 
I like the blade on the Mili best, but I have a few problems with it:

1. No backspacer
2. Liner lock
3. Clip doesn't carry the knife deep enough

Because of those, I'd rather have a Police 3. They're all very nice, though.
 
Of those three, I would get the Endura. Of course, that's just because it is the only one that is legal for me.

If you get a chance, try the Stretch II. It is one of my favorites.
 
i have the p3 and d2 millie.

love the millie. great ergos, and i like the liner lock.

however, ive been carrying my p3 for a couple weeks now. ive gotten used to using the lockback, and ive got to say i think it is a better knife.

slightly longer blade, with a more useable tip, imo. but still very slim and light. if you like dual liners, the p3 is the way to go. and the 4 position clip should be on every g10 spydie.

and i would like some other steel options on the p3. or a 4 pos clip on the millie. or both.
 
The D2 para. is one of my faves just now. I just got the super hawk and its also one im starting to like alot :thumbup:
 
If my only choice were between those three, I'd take the Police III. Endura has no choil, a feature I consider very important, so it's out. As for the Military, even if it was lefty friendly, I can't see the need for a 4mm thick blade on a pocketknife. However, given a free choice, I'd go with the Stretch II. It has a bit less blade, but takes up a lot less room in the pocket.

I think the Endura was a good choice. If you don't mind the lack of a finger choil, it's a really nice all around knife. The blade is a nice size; big, but not huge. I really like the Police 3, but the blade is almost too big.
 
Toss up between the Mili and Endura.

THG, the Military has a backspacer. The Para doesn't.
 
I've been carrying the Military for a little over a year now, it's one fantastic design. The Military is really is one of the best cutting machines you can get, and the handle is perfect for people with larger hands.

That said, the Police 3 is sweet, with it's slim profile and long blade. IMO the Police 3 has a small chance of kicking the Military out of my pocket for EDC. I just need to get my hands on one to find out.
