This Military model was advertised as having blue G-10 handle scales, but we feel blurple is more appropriate. The blade sports premium CPM-S110V steel with it's superior edge retention qualities. The Military, aka 'Millie', has a large 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 have nested (inlaid) liners, which contribute to the lock strength without additional 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 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 metal clip is set for right-hand tip-down carry.
