It was the first time the guy has made folders on such scale. I think he made one before this batch.
It is really nice in hand, about 3.3 inch S35VN blade, stonewashed, The Ti frame lock scale is rather impressive for first timer. And the stop pin is in the tang of the blade!
The wait has stretched by 3 months, but I don't complain, the guy has a day job, and the detail he went to on those is quite amazing.
More pics coming.

Very nice. I've never handled one, never seen but a few. Looks pretty sweet. I really like that blade design.

picked up this bad boy monday ![[Linked Image from i4.photobucket.com]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/TUCKERGUN/GEC/Picture043_zps2c67e589.jpg) I really like that. I have been on an old folder kick lately, especially Sheffield.

Figured I would post up a photo of my group...as of today! ![[Linked Image from i432.photobucket.com]](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/richneal68/IMG_0023_zps9c804b20.jpg) I'm really enjoying these two...all of them really, but was just strolling the woods earlier and had these two. ![[Linked Image from i432.photobucket.com]](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/richneal68/IMG_0021_zps8f71ca1b.jpg)

I have been sitting on the fence regarding a Military. I really like my ZT0200s but they are heavy.
I had a Parmilitary but that was before the Para2 which I may have kept. The first was smaller than what I wanted.

I tried the military half on a whim...so many people on the BF spyderco forum rave about it I figured I had to try it. I've been very pleased- feel like it can do everything that para2 can do and then more. I gotta add the para2 was one of my 2 main folders along with the ritter grip for a year or two.

I bought a serrated military, not a fan of the serrations I also have a G10 police which is nice, but the spyderco I carry the most is an endura with the zdp189 blade I also have a combination blade military, that I got in a trade The guy didn't mention that just over a 1/4" off of the tip was missing ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/coyotebc/IMG-20131013-00003_zps7a47c988.jpg) <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/coyotebc/media/militarys4.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/coyotebc/militarys4.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo militarys4.jpg"/></a>
