The Military Model holds a special place in Spyderco's Save and Serve collection. It originated from a personal query to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's founder, about the ideal folding knife for his son if he were to join the military.
The answer was clear: a knife that embodies high performance and durability yet is lightweight and designed for rigorous use. Choosing CPM S30V for the blade was a straightforward decision, considering its renowned ability to maintain sharpness and resist corrosion, embodying the essence of the knife.
The 'Millie' features a uniquely modified clip-point blade, precision-cut with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for fast activation, even when wearing gloves. The design includes a textured area above the hole to ensure the thumb stays in contact with the blade's spine for secure handling and precision cutting.
The G-10 handle scales incorporate the lock's liner directly, enhancing the lock's strength without the need for heavy liners. Spacers create a full-length gap between the scales for easy internal inspection and cleaning. The handle's design flares at both ends and offers a secure grip and control during intense cutting tasks.
It includes a contoured black metal clip configured for right-handed, tip-down carry. Proudly crafted in Golden, Colorado, U.S.A., Earth, this knife is a testament to Spyderco's commitment to quality and performance.
