I think the color in those pics is just the lighting.

Police 4 LW K390 is on its way

Just ordered mine, can't wait to get it!

The first CC #d ones are up on eBay, shouldn’t be long before dealers have the regular ones. Really looking forward to this one!

Any news or rumors about a sprint, exclusive, or regular production version of the Sage 5 LW in another steel? I would like to try one, but don't want any more S30V (or black scales ). Cruwear and K390 would be my first choices.

I regularly carry :spyder: s loose in my pocket (sans clip). I only do this with backlocks, as they are the only ones I trust to not accidentally open in my pocket. Fortunately, I’ve never had a serious cut or injury from accidental pocket opening of a non-backlock. I've had enough close calls to kn...

I didn't read the whole thread, so this may have already been addressed. If you ever want to carry the knife loose in a pocket (as opposed to clipped), the backlock is the only one I trust to not accidentally open in my pocket.

As far as I can tell, the handles for the Salt 2 and Tasman Salt 2 are identical. It also seems to be the case with the Delica 4 and Lil Matriarch handles. That’s why I’m thinking a hawkbill blade in the Delica 4 handle would not involve expensive new FRN molds. I guess only knows for sure.

Mushroom beat me to it. Gotta love this forum!

Thanks to both of you!

...but if they did a hawkbill Rock Jumper I'd be all over it.

That’s not a bad idea, either I’m just looking for the easiest way can give me what I want

I have a Boltaron sheath for my Province scheduled to arrive on Thursday, and was wondering if anyone has pics of the Province with this sheath? I did a search and could only find the stock pic of the sheath by itself.

I think the Harpy is your only other option unless something new comes along.

Something (sort of) new is what I'm lobbying for

I'm wondering how difficult it would be to fit the Delica 4 handle with a hawkbill blade? I'm pretty sure there will be an LC200N Tasman Salt 2 forthcoming, but what I’m really looking for is an updated version of the Merlin, with a FFG K390 blade

Sal has said the maker is willing/able to work with K390. I’d love to see K390 right out of the gate, but I think the initial version is likely to be VG-10, or another stainless, and understand why that makes sense.

I have the K390 Endela, and like it, but I chose the Stretch for the finger choil and blade shape (straight section and more belly). I have the regular Stretch in V-Toku2, but am looking forward to the SS. I know I prefer the look, and anticipate I will prefer it functionally as well.

I’m in the (apparent) minority that dislikes DLC. Hmm...if that were the only way to get Cruwear in this model, would I buy it?

Anyone know (or heard any rumors) about this happening? I’m thinking it would most likely be an exclusive?

We have asked the maker to see if they can work in K390. We're waiting on their response.

Thanks Sal I believe you said they are doing the forthcoming Caly 3.5 Lightweight? That would also be awesome in K390!

Not to rain on my own parade, but I realized that the Morans are done by a different Japanese maker than the one producing the current K390 models. They may not be able, or willing, to work with K390 :( This would apply to the Perrin Street Bowie & Street Beat, as well. Only Sal/Spyderco can say for...

Who’d be up for the Moran FB01 and/or FB02 in K390?
