Which Millie for camping/yardwork...

[NDJeep]

...a plain edge or full-serrated?

I have the Delica 4s in both edges and love them both but am looking at finally getting a Military.(the first Spydie I fell in love with years ago but still don't own yet)

Due to its size I wont be using it for EDC much but since I'm getting away from fixed blades for camping and hiking jaunts I thought the Millie might be just the ticket.

For outdoor usage which blade would be best? Thoughts?

Thanks:thumbup:

i imagine that a PE should be fine. if you are going to be using it a lot it will be quicker to sharpen. i would get the orange because it would be easy to find if dropped. but my favorite color is the digicam.

I was just on the 'bay looking at digis but thinking the orange might be best for this app.

For camping, plain edge. For yard work, full serrations.

APF's pretty much one the money here. I I carry a D2 Para and a 440V SE Millie at work at all times. Ive never encountered a cutting task I couldn't handle with this carry combination (and FWIW I don't use folders for chopping!). Out of the two I find the SE Millie far more versatile, and would pick that in a flash if I was only to carry one knife at work. There is also enough of pain edge at the tip to still be useful.

i think the mili is one of the only folder that has the blade length to make use of a combo edge. The serrations on it are only maybe 1/3 the blade so its only a few serrations but it would be better to use the serrations when you have to.

I had a CE Millie that was my dedicated yard work/beater knife for a few years. Worked really well in that capacity and the serrations came in handy getting cuts started on thick or fibrous materials or when I had to cut rope, twine or trimmer line.
