Spydercos are great knives, but the knife in the picture isn't the one I was sent
By J Mott
I didn't give this knife 5 stars, even though I think it is a very nice knife and I like it, I do not think however it is robust enough to be a true folder for use in the field by "Military" personnel. This knife pictured is not the Spyderco Military model I received. The picture shows one with an almost complete serration, and the one I received only has a partial serrated area, a little less than 1/2 the length of the cutting edge. I however like Spyderco knives (though admittably I'm experienced with their less expensive models) and am unsure whether I will send this one back for a refund and look for the model I want elsewhere or keep it, as the price from Amazon ($120.99) plus free shipping is the best I have found on any model Spyderco Military. That being said, let us discuss the knife. I usually carry an Emerson CQC-11, so the Spyderco Military is not a large knife for me to carry as an EDC or in the field. It is flat, light-weight, and slips easily into your pocket. The blade is amply large for self-defense, or any other number of chores a pocket knife can and will be put to in the field. I would caution against prying much with the tip (even with the S30V steel), as the blade thins considerably towards the end/point and might not hold up to the abuse/use of more high-end folders sometimes commonly used by troops in the field (one of which I have been numerous times). That being said, if you need to pry with something, use a screw driver and only use your folder in an emergency. Lock up of the knife is tight, it opens easily, and the ergonomics are good in the hand. The blade is not 100% centered when closed, but not touching the inside of the knife and is perfectly servicable. All in all, it appears to be a good basic folder that I would take overseas with me if deployed again, but if I had to choose a knife for deployment, I would choose a more robust folding knife (if I wasn't on a budget) for true "military"/field use. I would however not hesitate to throw this one in my rucksack as a back-up folder in the event I lose or break my primary knife. I do think this knife is more than ample for civilian carry and self-defense in a normal environment, where equipment is not used and abused as in the field in the military, and where a replacement can be easily found if broken. I hope this helps anyone thinking of buying one of these knives for true field/"military" use.

Giant American Made Folding Steak Knife!
By Brian
This is a large knife! A big, thin 4 inch blade in a lightweight handle. The handle is very large. It takes up alot of space in the pocket, but it is thin and light in the pocket, so it carries a bit smaller than it actually is. The blade is full flat ground, meaning its narrow and flat on both sides, with serrations about 1/3rd of its length, kinda like a big steak knife. I know its called "Military", and some military folks likely use it to good effect, but the blade really does remind me of a big steak knife a bit with its thin flat ground blade and large lightweight handle. It does not have full metal liners, it is only partially lined, which contributes to the lightness - but would also lend to some weakness compared to heavier duty knives like Emerson. If you are looking for a knife to open paintcans, or bust out autoglas, this just isn't it. But if you are looking for one of the larger, lighter big knives available, that would cut your steak with the best of them, then this might be it!

The perfect grip
By Elliott VFP
I lost my first Military early in the summer and have since acquired at least six other folders, mostly Benchmade, in an effort to take the Military's place as my EDC. Most of the knives were more expensive, some have better blade steel (though I love the S30V,) and they've all found a place in some aspect of my day to day work; however, nothing was ever able to serve as a complete replacement for my Spyderco, because no other knife has ever felt so comfortable in my hands.I know many find the handle of this knife excessively large, but to me its perfect. The size, contour, and nicely textured G10 provide me with absolute certainty that I can perform just about any task necessary and never concern myself with what I consider most important in any knife, which is the feeling of complete control. I finally caved and bought another Military just recently and don't regret it. If only I hadn't missed out on the sprint run with CPM-M4 blade steel, I would have, in my opinion, the perfect EDC knife. Keep in mind it is a bit large, but feels just fine even in my tighter jeans, and the weight you're comfortable with is just going to be a matter of personal preference.Looking for a bit more of a workhorse with similar traits I pre-ordered a Benchmade 805 with M390 blade steel, but I have a feeling I'll always have my Military clipped to one pocket or another all day, as it has been since my replacement arrived last month.
