A cornerstone in Spyderco's Save and Serve line up, the
Military Model came about after someone asked Spyderco's owner Sal Glesser,
"If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you
send him with?" For certain, it had to meet the requirements of a
high-performance, light-weight folder designed for hard use.
Since the steel is the spirit of the knife, CPM S30V seemed the logical
choice for the blade given its reputation for long-term edge retention and
rust resistance. The 'Millie' has a modified clip-point blade laser cut
with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for quick deployment and for use with
gloves. Texturing above the hole hold the thumb in contact with the
blade's spine during cutting for confident control over the sharpened
edge. The handle scales are G-10 with the lock's liner nested (inlayed)
directly into the scale, pumping up lock strength without the addition of
bulky liners. Spacers between the scales create a gap running the handle's
full length exposing the inside workings for inspection and cleaning. The
handle flares slightly at the front end creating a finger choil and at the
butt end, which keeps the knife from slipping forward or backward in the
hand while sawing or making tough or aggressive cuts. A contoured black
metal clip is set for right-hand tip-down carry.
