I don’t understand how this guy doesn’t have a 100 million followers. He’s super entertaining to watch. His editing is hilarious. Best personality on youtube.
aw thanks man! maybe one day!
I want Advanced knife Bro and this guy to do a collab. Probably the two funniest guys in the knife community.
@@knowyourhistory Yes I agree 100 percent!
Eric Glesser was asked in an interview why the Military's clip is tip down . he responded that the Military is a large knife and it's tip down so that the user doesn't have to re position their hand to open it after taking it out of the pocket .
Its pretty true, too. I'd expect that for it it be tip up and not have to readjust the clip would be in an awkward spot and you'd have 1.5 inches of handle popping out above the pocket line.
A true Renaissance Man in our presence: 1800's porn, military-style knife, Bon Jovi shirt, rowing machine, butt crack, Meta Mucil; there are few things that Pete cannot incorporate into a video. While I'm not a big Spyderco fan, this is a pretty nice looking knife. And I completely agree about the positioning of the clip, I'm much more interested in whether it fits comfortably in a tight grip than which direction it sits in my pocket.
The spyderco Military blade shape is favorite. There is something about the non-blunted tip (unlike the endura), longer sweeping belly (unlike the PM2), which gives the quintessential spyderco shape. I love how light it is for how massive the handle and blade is. One handed manipulation of the liner lock is easier than the Police IMHO.
Only gripes: G10 scale material blocks the jumping on the finger choil, spine thickness could be a thinned down to the thickness of the Manix or Autonomy 2 for better slicing.
A compression lock Millie in Maxamet or Rex121 would be awesome!
Welcome back Pete!!!! Great vid! I know you might not recognize it but we need people who really know what they are talking about. With a great sense of humor.
A+ best knife reviews on TH-cam. Funny amd informative
I hope the military never changes, it's made it this long, and there's a certain respect its earned for being the way it is.
If they just made a tip up option..
@@toejamr1
If any of the people that always parrot this comment actually held the damn knife theyd know how easy it is to mod to tip up, but thats pointless because it carries just fine as is.
Even if it came with tip up, then everyone would complain its not compression lock, even though its one of the absolute best liner locks on the market, which again, people would know if they ever actually tried the knife.
That post didn't age well.
Well said!
Can't wait for the test results on the Metamucil.
Here's hoping his 'uploads' are more 'regular' after that!
So looking forward to to your next video!
I really enjoyed that review. It's interesting that the 2 Spydies I have, a Salt 2 and a Delica 4 in ZDP were made in Seki City, and are both okay. But then I've never had a Colorado built knife to compare them with.

There are many factories seki is on the lower side
Great stuff as always.
Nero has a pretty great video that supports tip up configuration for the Military and the Socom Elite. Makes a lot of sense to me.
Is it any good for cleaning windows? This Karcher channel just got a bit weird I reckon.
This is my favorite comment I've read all month
Hahahaha
Love it! ... can you show the Bobby magazine now?
Thank you Pete.
No one seems to actually tear this knife down to its parts, and because of that NOONE ever actually talks about how genuine it’s construction actually is.
The blade rides on a very thick and robust pivot that slots into the handle scales. The pivot screws are only there to keep the outer scales in place and sandwich the whole construction together. That said the pivot screw are not load bearing. They both could come out of the knife, and the knife would still function because the lanyard tube and handle screws would still hold it together. Half if the hardware on this knife could fail and it would still work well. When Sal designed this knife, expecting hard use and neglect seamed baked right into the design. The pivot mech, and overall handle construction is such that I would take it over other any hard use frame locks on the market. If the blade shape wasn’t so fragile, this design seems to really make lots of sense. Oh and the original mid back spacer makes the handle super rigid. I actually added one back into my current Military at the cost of 1 oz just because of confidence it inspired.
It's like the 350 Chevy of k nives
Really like the military in the Jade G10. Reall like the bigger Spyderco's.
I’ve owned a bunch of dragonfly’s from Japan and while the first couple were centered well, the last one I bought (2013ish) has a pretty bad offset. I live near the golden store and didn’t even look closely at it before I left because the first couple had been perfect.
I was recently there again for some Xmas shopping and got a delica for someone.. they had a bunch of “boxless” knives for 45% off. I had to look at four of them before I found one that was centered well.
On china.. the only Chinese spydercos I’ve bought are the bugs. I’ve given away dozens over the past ten years and they’re pretty much always perfect! And I’ve been buying them since they were only $7. They’re like $16-22 now.. more for the black ones.
The Caribbean is another relevant comparison. Imo
Does the square blade hilt part so that your thumb has a full area across the back and no clip on the bottom because the liner is half
Hey Pete how would you compare the native chief to the trm atom? Thanks again for the great videos. Love the porn book by the way lol
4:07. "Hey look! It's Bob's mate, Pete the Plumber!"
Where did you buy your Spydercos and I have a military 2 in s45vn I want to trade for a military
Where did you get that book? I need it for educational purposes.
I’ve never experienced the Seki City Lean! Do all your Seki knives lean a bit?
Most of mine do
The Military is tip-down, because pulling it out of the pocket in this configuration puts one's finger right into the hole. Instantly. I have my Police configured identically for the same reason. As for improvements, I have two Militaries: An older model and a newer blurple S110V. Aside from minor physical differences that do matter a bit, the action on the newer knife is nothing short of outstanding. Better than any of my PM2s or Paras. Given a choice, I prefer the Military. A Military 2 is supposed to be released, but I really like this one, even though I'll still buy the new one. It's a fantastic knife that carries and cuts beautifully.
Can I get a link to that book for a friend
That seki city lean, though.
It's an old pattern, but it checks out.
Isn't Military getting compression lock?
Gave one to my son n law to take to Iraq around 2010, worked just fine. He still has it on his desk!
Got one in tacticool black. Gorgeous, biggish blade. My partially serrated Recon 1 is a more useful EDC.
I use lanyard holes for short fobs (?) that allow quick removal from a pocket - here, what is it good for since the hole in at the bottom of your pocket?
edit: it's good for actual lanyard use i.e. around the wrist protection in iffy situations which I've never had a use for.
Great review and thanks for the crack...butt crack that is!
When working in the Canadian bush, I used the tethers in my army surplus cargo pockets to tie my critical gear in so I wouldn't lose it in a bad situation. If you fall through the ice, you have a real need of a knife and a firestarter. So yes to the lanyard hole.
The Military is an excellent EDC. I don't notice the size in my jeans pocket. I wouldn't want to see the lock or clip position changed.
Surprised you didn't include a Resiliance in the mix. Count me a Police fan (over the other two). I have a rare aluminum so its the lightest of the bunch.
I would like a review on different brands of pro biotics at some point Pete. My stomache has been all messed up lately and I wouldnt mind your opinion!
The issue with reviews on probiotics ; is that it's dependent on your own gut bacteria. So something that suits you, may not suit me and vice versa. I have same issues and basically experimented over time until I found one that worked. Activated charcoal capsules also help massively as well as identifying triggers. If you don't already know, Google FODMAP.
Its a shame they got rid of the police g10, hope they replace it.
It looks like you’ve sharpened that para2 like five hundred times.
Surago all para 2’s look like that that’s why I won’t get one
it has had my many edges tried on it
I bought one of the m4/ Jade g10 militaries and I've never used it. Always feel like I want to trade it for something so I don't want to muck it up. I use my Resilience constantly though so I suppose I should just break down and use the military. To be fair, the handle on the Resilience is less "busy" and more comfy and the fine tips on the military/para's always worry me.
the sprint run conundrum, for sure. the steel could be anything in most of them because people wont use em cos they arent replaceable!
@@CedricAda - It's wild the way we put value on things. I was gifted a gold class Benchmade griptilian with carbon fiber handles and m4 steel that cost him nearly $500 but I have no problem using that because I didn't spend a dime on it. Spend $190 on the military and I'm afraid to handle it without gloves. I suppose it's all just plastic and metal at the end of the day. Best to use and enjoy.
Are you in the UK, do you still have the Military, and do you still want to trade, ??
PUT THE MILLIE BLADE ON THE PARA 3, WELD THE PIVOT, MAKE A KYDEX SHEATH
Cool
If you need to do a lot of cutting nothing beats a military. Para 2 is an edc legend but military is a workers legend. I still regret selling my m390 military, you don't see them anymore and if you do its $350-$500 or more.
The only complaint I have with the tip down carry is that the pivot sticks up out of your pocket and fills with dust. I carry this when I'm downhill mtbing and it gets trashed by dust
@David Martin Portmann It makes sense in some places: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bear-attack-knife-bc-1.5230323
@@J-Bibble Crazy you knew that! It is actually my anti- I crashed and broke my leg a bear is trying to eat my face knife lol
Was that piano bit the theme from Up?
yes but dont tell Disney
@@CedricAda I hope you aren't wearing pants, because they sue them off of you. No point in resting your fate. They will violate you in the court of law.
Pete, would you be interested in reviewing the Spyderco Tatanka? If you are, let me know and I can send it!
My favorite version is the one with the wood handles, the nail nick instead of that dad gum spydur hole, back lock, and that ole' reliable 420 steel.

Good day sir , I’m very appreciated for your interesting review on you tube , I have a question how do you what is the best steel for Spyderco military ,
I have Spyderco endura zdp-189
I have para2 maxamet
Also I like to buy military but what is your opinion to buy best steel for this knife , first 2 knives steel I choosed because of you !) hug from Ukraine 🇺🇦✊
Idk what he’d answer but my Military is CPM S30V and it’s performance is fantastic! The G10 handles are really strong too. It’s held up well for lots of camping tasks over time plus it’s light enough to take backpacking. After being through a lot mine still looks nearly new. No corrosion or blade chipping. Action is super fast. Definitely great for fighting or self defense as well! You won’t be sorry owning one!
Say NO too crack 😂😂
I've had my Military in my collection for a while now and almost never use it . A compression lock on the Military would be the Bomb , and it would definitely see more pocket time and boost sales .
They just announced this :)
@@lindboknifeandtool Yes I know , I can't wait for it to hit shelves , I've been waiting a Long Time for this and I'm sure a lot of other people have too .....👍🖖
Your question video was great pity the comments are restricted you where very much spot on with the drugs and alcohol as a ex opiate junkie for twenty years I guess your job must by in that seen or something medical ?
16:40 Daft Punk!)
I require a compression lock Military in CPM 4V......yet it does not exist 😭
@David Martin Portmann You would like the native chief its not available in elmax but if it becomes popular I bet you may see a sprint run of it
@David Martin Portmann I do. No liners but the back lock is really thick and gives a lot of structural support to the handle. I like it for the same reason I like the military and the zt 0452 it's a light knife with a big blade. Not as tough as PM2 but it's a sick knife
@David Martin Portmann No prob man. Get one while they are semi cheap prices will likely be going up after New years
Does a war against invasive blackberry vines count as a war?
Very nice design considering its age.... modern knives have no such excuse to use practically two dimensional handle design
Am I the only one that wanted him to open that book?
If I was sending my son to war with a knife, it wouldn't be a folder. It would be a giant fixed blade "pig-sticker!"
the fuckin undertale ost lol good taste
conceived
military front flipper 🤔
I had the same issue with the Japanese made Spyderco, sent one back to bladehq because of how bad it was and the replacement was just as bad but with different issues. Both should have been factory seconds. Kind of off-putting that they allow them to go out like that.
Get some suspenders..May change your life!
0:23 0:29
I mean I cut a bunch of MREs with mine....
You are twisted in a way that appeals to me!
I love the giant book of pornography 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish Spyderco would stop making every single damn pocket knife they with a nearly identical blade type. I think they have more than enough knives with full flat thin blades and a hole. The handles are all nearly identical too.
aaaahhh,plumbers crack.......
I wish they would make a smaller military or make the pm2 in liner lock or framelock like the military has done. I hate compression locks. I love the military but I dislike the clip orientation. Most people don't buy one cause of its size. Fix these things and make a model for it. Military average size. But spyderco are more interested in making near everything with compression locks sadly. Anyways if your a user the military is great. But it's a bit big for some jobs. And if you take it out in public you may get some looks.
Many people have stabbed there legs including me because of the clip tip down. If you put it in your back pocket or left pocket that won't happen. So this is not a right pocket carry. They refuse to change it because they say it's faster to deploy. Which is dumb unless your using it for fighting.... Something that people shouldn't be using knives for.
CQC!
You Nerd!

3 seconds in it
Spyderco makes the ugliest knives on the market. It blows mind how popular they are because none of their knives look nice. The weird blade shapes are why Spydercos look ugly because of how they are designed to include the spydie hole. Thats why The Para 2, Para 3 and Miltary are some of their ugliest knives and all the others they make with that similar weird leaf shaped blade.
I dont hate Spyderco, I really like how they offer more steel options than any other knife company out there. Maybe thats why they are so popular, Because it's definitely noting to do with the looks of their knives. But still, I wouldn't buy any.
I felt the same way for many years but they have grown on me. Para 3 is my favorite now. If you haven't, I recomend you try one in hand.
Honestly I think they look good, I like the aesthetic generally.
3:22 of looking at a Bon Jovi tshirt before you can actually get the review. Sad
Go watch knife reviews somewhere else. Pete is a funny ass dude who also loves knives. Have you never actually watched one of his vids before?
Bahumbug... Go bitch else where.
Typically I really dislike spyderco knives and these models are no exception. Furthermore the name "native chief" is hugely offensive to me and so I now dislike spyderco even more. I enjoyed the video though so thank you.
SJW's need not apply. Don't go away mad, just go away.
