I've had the Spyderco Military for about 6 months now and it is an excellent tactical folding knife. My Military has the plain edge blade, which I prefer for a folding knife (unless you plan on cutting a lot of rope I don't see the point of a combo or full-serrated edge in a knife of this size).With a 4" blade, the Military can serve as both a tactical (read: self defense) or EDC (every day carry) knife for daily utility tasks. I carry this for both purposes. At 4.2oz it's light enough for daily carry, although this is about the biggest knife I would consider for every day carry. The handle is very large for the blade length, which I like as it allows a very good perch on the knife. The high quality G10 handle also helps you get a good grip.The Military is made of high quality materials and feels very well made. It's more expensive than any of my other folding knives, but as soon as I took it out of the box and handled it I could see why (it just looks and feels like a quality product). The blade steel is S30V steel which is high quality and holds an edge well. Like all my spyderco knifes, the blade is razor sharp right out of the box - easily sharp enough to cut paper and in fact sharp enough to shave the hair on your arm. The blade shape is excellent for both defensive and light utility roles, with a good belly and an extremely sharp point. One disadvantage of this blade shape is the tip may be a bit weak, so keep that in mind.The blade deploys very easily and quickly. While this is a liner-lock knife (which some people don't like, I don't have a problem with it if executed properly as it is on the Military), the locking mechanism is very secure.The black handle and black blade look great. The black finish on the blade will wear with time but this gives it character IMO. If you don't like the black finish the Military is available in other color combos, though I only see it in black on Amazon.The only negative I can point out for this knife is that the pocket clip is fixed for tip down carry (many other spyderco knives allow you to remove the pocket clip and put it on any of the four corners).Overall this is a great tactical folding knife. I would also recommend taking a look at the the SOG Aegis, which is a bit smaller and cheaper but serves a similar purpose. It goes without saying if you are considering this or other similar sized folding knife, familiarize yourself with the carry laws in your area (it may not be legal to carry this in some areas, or only with a concealed weapons permit etc ... that's up to you to research as the carry laws vary significantly from state to state).

I have owned several spyderco knives over the years and have always enjoyed their unique features. The spyderco military is no exeption. If you are looking for a light weight tuff as nails knife that is easy to open and extremly sharp, i recomend this excelent cutting tool.

I have been carrying the Spyderco police model for ten years and purchased the Spyderco Military to have something different. First off the Military is a fantastic knife the blade is beautiful the factory edge is razor sharp and black matte finish seems durably and adds a unique look. In comparison to the Police model the Military is similar in length but twice as thick and half the weight so feels a little different in the pocket but still fits well enough for everyday use. The G10 handles do not disappoint they are very stiff and offer great grip in fact my only complaint is texture is so rough until the clip wore in a bit it was hard to draw from my jeans pocket. Also it is worth mentioning the thumb hole is slightly larger than on the Police which seems like a trivial thing but along with the large cut out for the liner lock make the knife easy to operate quickly one handed.UpdateAfter several weeks of every day carry I am still very pleased with this knife, but have noticed some copper colored marks on the blade. Since I carry it in the same pocket as my keys (including some brass keys) I assume it is metal from the keys being transferred to the blade. On the plus side it is just cosmetic and does not appear to have actually scratched the blade coating or the handle. Also the clip and texture under the grip has worn in a bit and it no longer feels like sand paper against my jeans pocket.
