But again - isn't this particular model rather rare today?

Yeah, I am thinking the same here. But is this particular model so 'worthless' that one would gain noticeably from doing such a little scam?

Any chance that it's a C11SFG?

I think you nailed it! This particular model is not in the Spyderco database, so I did not find it. But this must be it. But how on earth did an unused model that was made 2007 - 2009 end up in a k390 Box? Must be a collector's item today, lol!.

That is not a K390, not the steel, nor the color. Send it back post-haste.

That's the plan, replacement was already requested at Amazon and is on the way

isn't there a lc200n ladybug already being made and put in a shot glass? Good catch! It looks like the case indeed. The question is, whether this is a dummy, or an actual blade (geometry, HT, etc) https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/SG01/BenShot-reg-Shot-Glass-with-Ladybug-reg-3-Blade/2348 whe...

I just checked - German Amazon offers (directly from Amazon) most if not all k390 Spyderco models, though mostly at higher prices then elsewhere.

I ordered a SE Delica in k390 a few days ago directly from German Amazon (Amazon is the seller). And I received a different one (photos below) in the box - and I was not able to locate such a particular model in the Spyderco lineup or online. As the knife appears indeed new and unused - I am wonderi...

Just an anecdote - got my Delica SE k390 from Amazon delivered today - but after opening the box (that stated SE k390) there was saber ground SE VG-10 Delica inside, lol. Back it goes :grin-smiling-eyes (but I actually think it looks really cool) The weird thing is - the handle has a dark green-gra...

I bought so far one (non Spyderco) knife from Knifestock and it all went well. They really have good deals on some items.

I just ordered a SE Delica in k390 few days ago, delivery pending. It was 130€ on Amazon here in Germany - and that is the bottom end of the price spectrum here in DE, with the average being more like 140 - 160 € But I still think that one can not compare a price of a product made in the western par...

Yeah, Siren sounds indeed like one of the better option among folding knives.

...And a lot COARSER roads than the CBNs for quicker reprofiling and repairs of more substantial damages (as far as I know the diamonds are just a bit coarser, if at all) Sadly, those would last also a lot SHORTER than the current ones. It is just the nature of the beast. Diamond based abrasives ar...

More angle steps would be definitely welcome though it really does not need to be a continuous adjustment (our hand wobbles more than enough). What I would love to see a lot more would be a fine (say around 1000) grit CBN or diamond rods for the sharpmaker (AND also the double-stuff once we are at i...

IMO grind is only relevant up to a point that the edge does not fail upon an occasional contact with a bone. We are talking cutting raw or cooked meat off the bones - that is not a task particularly demanding of the grind (hollow, flat , convex, etc.) Since we are talking about a little knife (basic...

Really interesting article. I was eyeing the Alcyone for a long time - really like the design. Now seeing that the 8Cr is about comparable to BD1N I may actually give it a try. Still - I would love to see the Alcyone to come out in a different steel.

We need more photos.

May I ask where these very nice scales come from?

Just to add one more option in Europe (Sweden) - a friend of mine got into scale making and did a few carbon fiber scale sets for my PM2 and an absolutely gorgeous set of pure carbon fiber scales that are extra thick (by 1mm per side) for my Chaparral Lightweight . Plus he is a super nice guy to dea...
