How many military owners out there?

[AllenETreat]

Me - Past tense ; I may aquire another

from BestKnives.com ( $89.95 ) in the future

( CE for me ) - Okay, how many owners &

what edge configuration? If you only have

a Para-Military list it ( about the same )

[jaxon]

Mine's CPM440V PE with the silver clip, laser engraved with MILITARY (the A is ^). BTW there's a nice looking used one on eBay closing in about four hours, currently at $60. Wish I could get it but mine's good enough.

Bought a SE 440V at the old factory outlet store in Golden many, many years ago at a father's day blowout sale. It's still my favorite &quot;walking the dog in the woods knife&quot;. I carry my 9mm Glock, extra clip, ARC flashlight and Military in my hip pack. Everything else is fluff.

[Civilian]

So far only 1 CPM S30V SE, More soon!

I have the fully serrated 30V model. Thinking about getting a black combo edge model sometime soon.

I have a PE CPM440V that I got in a 3-way trade with Jeff Smith. It hasn't beat out my G-10 Native for EDC but it is one of my favorite <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s.

[gud4u]

I'm still EDC-ing my older 440V PE Military.

I keep trying other 4&quot; folders, but I keep going back to my Military.

The ergonomics, thin width and light weight of this knife package make it hard to beat.

[Blades]

Nevermind, traded it.

I got my PE S30V Military a couple months ago, my first Military. Have a Para on the way. YESSS!

[Mt Goat]

440V SE Military. The first Spydie I ever bought. Had it with me today when I was patrolling an Open Space Park. I plan to pick up a PE S30V in the near future.

Currently 2, both CPM 440V, one SE one PE. The SE is the EDC at work.

Now I'm torn between trying an S30V Mil or a Para. We'll see...

Been packin' a Pre 98 SE and a Post 98 PE... Lookin' at the S30V variant, black PSE version and of course some vintage Millies in ATS-34 which is harder to come by these days..

Checking in with a CPMS30V combo edge that I bought at SFO! Carrying it right now.

[seaman]

440v SE, 30s PE. Not using them now.

[dialex]

Not yet, but it's on the list, since some time ago I begun to feel the need for a bigger knife. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I guess it's gonna be a CE (probably S30V, although CPM 440V is OK, and it is even slimmer - thinner G-10 as I heard).

steel is unforgiving... sharp steel even more so

[buferoe]

Hi Guy's

My Spyderco Military is a S30V plain edge.

regards,

Buferoe

[Razor]

I have a PE 30V and would like to get a SE for EDC. I like the S30V steel better than the 440V,because I can get it alot sharper.

2 Combo Edge CPM S30 black blade
Para Military in the mail.

Clipits work!

[Photoplanet]

Ive got one of the original production run ATS 34 plain edge (pocket clip held on by 2 screws, not 3).

This is my working knife, and I use it pretty much every day, in my job in the UK Royal Air Force.

One problem I have found, is the lock has become sloppy over time, and is not adjustable, as the later ones are. I need to strip the knife to correct this, but the handle assembly screws are mangled and rusty (original screws are carbon steel).

Does anyone know of a source for the handle screws (countersunk allen head, not torx, that pass right through the handle)? Even a hint as to what size they are would help, so I can find a source on the net. Apart from that one problem, it's a good knife, and as a backup, I have a CPM440v PE in the mail to me at the moment!

One chance......Be ready.
