Military vs. Police

[fredswartz]

What are the main differences between these two models in G10 with PE? Does one have an advantage over the other? Pictures look very simialar.

Fred> welcome aboard(must have missd your earlier posts),

The main differences are only picked up by us regular <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> users...

Police:
*thin blade(belly wise)
*4.125&quot; blade
*lockback
*closed size is thin

Millie:
*wide blade(I like belly on my knives)
*4&quot; blade
*linerlock
*thicker blade(it may just be my eyes, but it seems a bit thicker, maybe .5mm)
*able to be taken apart if you so wish(voiding the warrenty and all that)
*adjustable pivot(factory work only)...
*light weight

I myself bought a Military in August, and it hasn't left my side since. I bought the newly released 50/50 edge, which ends up with 2.5&quot; plain, 1.5&quot; serrated)...

Convinced me. Just emailed Linda as to shipping me a Military. Wonder how it will stack up against my BM 710's.

always happy to push another towards great buys... which edge did you order?

Ditto, what vampyrewolf said, plus a larger opening hole on the Military. Some feel that it allows the Military to be opened easier when wearing gloves (which is a consideration in cold environments) while some others also feel that it (the larger hole) makes the Military measureably faster to open than other similar knives with smaller holes.

I, on the other hand, like my Police model ALOT better than the Military model that I traded for the (stainless PE) Police model.

I'm left-handed, and I did NOT like the liner-lock (it would slightly &quot;release&quot; when I held the handle tightly) or the &quot;feel&quot; of the Military (due to the lock release cut-out).

Try as I might, I have never succeeded to get the Military's liner lock to shift a smidgeon when &quot;white knuckling&quot; in either hand.

The Millie rocks. I love it.

[glockman99]

I dunno. I DO have a very strong grip, but I never did try to crush my Millie. Just with a &quot;normal&quot; tight (left-hand) grip, the blade would have some &quot;movement&quot;...Enough to where I couldn't trust MY fingers to that lock.

Other than THAT, I like the Military model.

I was the one who posted it about the millie lock, and shortly after Dann posted problems with his newly acquired millie(and shortly there-after traded his millie)...

If you grip it left handed, the meat of your fingers can hit just right, allowing for increased pressure on the liner... I wear a ring on my left hand middle finger, and it hits the lock. any rotation forces the lock to move. (the ring on my right is on the ring finger, and has no contact with my locks).
