Great knife.......

Never been disappointed with SpyderCo knives. This once feels great, good handle grip, sufficient blade length & edge sharpness, lightweight for EDC, and ability to deploy/lock well.You can beat this thing up and it will keep coming back for more. Love the color on this thing - so called "blurple". Any of their military 4" knifes will not disappoint. Get one if you can.

Big, sharp and Light

What a terrific addition to the Military collective! This is one big bladed, sharp, light weight, adrenaline junkies dream tool. The S110V lineup is awesome, across the board! There is a good reason why Syderco is such a successful company.

Perfect size for my EDC

Love this knife. My EDC for about a year or more. Para 2 was just a little small for me. The military is a much better fit. The s110v steel gets sharp and stays sharp. I find the point of this knife to be incredibly useful. Strong, pointy, super sharp To be honest, I didn’t really want the “Blurple” color, but at the time I bought the knife I couldn’t find one in black G10. All that being said, the Blurple has grown on me. Would definitely buy this color again. I have a ton of knives, including many Spydercos. This classic just gets it right.

Military and Paramilitary comparison

I ordered both Paramilitary and Military in the new S110V steel and "blurple" colour, with the intention to try them out and keep the one that better fits my needs. The key points were - the ability to carry it in the pocket of a suit to work, without being seen or limiting - strong lock - long blade (as I usually use the knife for sandwich preparation and fruit cutting) When I read the reviews, I understood that Paramilitary is big and Military is huge, so when they arrive, I was actually surprised - Paramilitary is currently significantly shorter blade than the rest of my pocket knifes to date (Victorinox, Benchmade Rukus). Both of the models fit the pocket nicely and I am able to carry them all day without issues. The only concern from long term perspective is the texture of the handle, that it will be damaging the pocket - it is harsh, almost sandpaper like. As for the head to head comparison: Paramilitary has nicer overall fit including details like consistent colour of the clip (Military has it black for reasons unknown), the ability to customize the clip for four different positions (Military lacks this) and I have slightly better experience with opening it - the Military is doing the two-click-opening, due to the linerlock design. That being said, the clear winner is Paramilitary..... ...however. However, the blade length on Para is a bit shorter than I expected, while Military is still comfortable to carry, so I will give it a few more days to consider. It is probably, that Para will win, but it would be 51/49 victory and by no means it says Military is bad knife. To be honest - if Spyderco made Military in the "facelifted" version (non-black clip, multiple positions, compression lock) as Paramilitary, it would be a winner to me. A man can dream...

Stupendous military folder!

It came at long last, but was worth the wait. Flawlessly crafted, razor sharp, and tough enough for anything. A 1st Air Cav. salute: Bravo to Golden Colorado's virtuoso knife-makers at Spyderco. Do keep astonishing us...!

Adamantium steel

Wolverines steel put into a knife, simplest way to describe. The paramilitary and military are the best knives in the spyderco lineup, it's a just a personal preference which one you prefer. This knife is 100% the best folding knife I own. It's sturdy enough that the only people who could push the knives to the limits are Devgru operators. This steel is beyond anything I've seen short of the mega exotics like Rex 121 or s125v. It's a great investment and will last forever. I'm active law enforcement and this thing hasn't blinked at anything I've used it on

I used the crap out of both my S90V and M390 Military's. From stripping wire to cutting a sandwich, the S90V handled everything I needed it for. I will subject my S110V to the same daily abuse and will write a detailed review in the near future. Out of the box the knife was perfect. The action is the smoothest of three military's I own. I also like the larger lanyard hole and the omission of the Delrin/aluminum backspacer. The only improvement would be a tip up option.

Fantastic knife

This was my 3rd Millie. I carried it far more than the other two(one was a limited m4 with jade/green scales, the other s90v with Bento Blue) I love the color and the steel. The m4 steel is too much of a hassle to sharpen and the Bento blue lost 2 screws in a month (my fault for sure) I did wind up snapping the blade on this one (being dumb and stabbed a broken TV because *reasons*) . I am getting another one soon. This knife has lived up to every expectation I have had. I am a big guy and this knife is my sized. The steel sharpens easily enough with the basic Lansky Sharpening System and if you decide to go the extra mile and polish the edge you can tree-top hair easily.

Open Scales (gap), liner lock, and no pouch are concerns

I love the feel of the knife. She deploys immediately, and although the handle is a little large, fits well with a little getting used to. The liner lock is L-A-M-E. The Civilian came with a pouch, so I guess there is more out of pocket money for me, and an additional wait for that. For $177.00, I would have expected a nice zipper pouch. The blade is beautifully sharpened with a higher end S110V steel. The clip is fairly standard, and works well. The scales are OPEN supposedly for ease of cleaning, and inspection; This is just their justification for a known design flaw. Trust me as an avid collector, the open scales INVITE dirt, and debris, and is a PITA to clean properly If they used a back lock, and closed the scales, I would be much more satisfied, and would offer 5 stars. I almost rated this a 3. In reality, it's a 3.5

Very nice, but not for me.

I had the 4” M390 Steel knife and was lost. Bought this. I do not like the liner lock. I especially, for the price they could’ve drilled a few more holes for left handed, hole up. 4” is legal in NYC. Sadly, going back. Why did they cut corners???.

Nice Knife, But Not A Zero Tolerance

I suspect only a custom knife will give me exactly what I want. I purchased bothe the PM 2 and Military in the S110V because I have never had any experience with this high end steel. Without a doubt the steel lives up to expectations with respect to edge durability. I have large hands so I do not find the Military too big as other often state. The scales are a bit rough. Finally, compared with a Zerto Tolerance 0562CF, in terms of overall quality, there is no comparison. The later is built like a tank and smooth as silk and really not that much more expensive. If only ZT could make their knives in S110V or at least S90V now that would be totally irresistable.

Too Large

The knife is beautiful and well made with s110 steel. Unfortunately I had to return it. I must have overlooked the size. It's giant for a folder. I hope to exchange it for the Native 5 in s110
