Why can't I stop carrying my Military?

In no way am I complaining about the Military but I do not think that I have carried a single knife this much for as long as I have had it, closest would be my Emerson Mini Commander or the D2 Para. But I have been carrying this knife and loving it and I carry it more that my FFG Delica or G10 Caly3 or Tenacious and those are lighter and easier to carry knives. I have seen some people who have said that they always have a Military on them at all times, while at first I thought that to be an exaggeration but now I see the light. I saw the Mili wheel of awesome and that is well... awesome but who else has the Military and seem to not be able to put it down?
 
Yeah I have a feeling that I will move on to other knives but the Military sure is having it's time in the spotlight, I mean I can not just carry the Military for ever I have to spread the love at some point but not right now.
 
I started with the S90V millie then got a LH millie, being a lefty and finally finding a excellent cutting too made for me was like a godsend.

The millie is light, able to be gripped many ways while still being comfortable, great blade shape and grind for unmatched cutting ability, carries in the pocket like a much smaller knife, easy to deploy, does not leave you wishing you had a bigger knife :)
 
The Military is my favorite knife platform. Period. It's also one of my most-carried since it is so light, thin, unobtrusive and such a wicked slicer and cutter. Even when I don't have one on me, I always seem to be comparing what I have in my pocket to one. :rolleyes:

Millies ROCK!
 
The Gayle Bradley booted the Military for the time being, but the faithful Mili got the nod over the GB for the time I was carrying both. Nothing inspires confidence quite like the positive grip and large size of the Mili. At least, nothing that carries quite so well.
 
I rotate my knives every few weeks but do confess to having a very hard time displacing the Military. It seems to do everything well and melts in my pocket for a larger folder. If I could only own one knife.........
 
Yeah it's quit a knife that's for sure. I like them so much I have two! :) Big deal eh? lol
But they do cut and slice very well and if I am so lucky to get invited out to a
dinner it's usually the knife I take with me just in case there is meat to carve or veggies
to prep. I know if the hosts are all dull and uninspiring then I am prepared.
 
I just rigged two Ti Militaries with S90 and S60 blades. Can't decide which to carry. Are lefty Militaries available with any combinations of Carbon fiber, Titanium handles, and/or S90V blades? Does the lefty still have a straight clip on it as opposed to the righty with the curved clip?
 
I'm one of those who carries a Military all the time. The S90V sprint has been in my right back pocket every day for over two years now, and other versions rode there for a year or two before the S90V came out. It is a perfect fit in my hand and handles the tough jobs better than anything else I've tried, without feeling like I'm carrying a brick. What's not to like?

I agree and happy to read I am not alone. The Military will definitely spoil you fast. The Military is the "Gold Standard" which other knives are compared to, not in a bad way just different.:cool:

Wow dude your military collection is sick! And I want mine to be as sick as yours. You don't have an orange one though.
 
If the orange had a different steel, or if I had found one at the factory seconds sale, I'd have one. The black blade Digicamo one is a second, otherwise I probably wouldn't have it either. Clockwise from the TiRIL, they are ATS-34, 440V, S30V/CF, S30V/G-10, BG-42/CF, CPM D-2, my S90V/CF beater, S90V/CF back-up, and S30V digital camo. :D
 
I can't seem to get the Military out of my pocket. I've tried other knives for a short period of time, but keep coming back to the Millie. To me it is the perfect EDC.
