How do you like the Domino? Doesn't seem to get much love on the forum these days, but I've always though it was a really good looking knife. I've been debating grabbing one of the M390 BBS exclusives before they run out.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Great feel. Like a Sage flipper. The blade has a great profile. Very low thumb ramp. Almost a Native, but more like a Sage.

Nice! We may be neighbors. Feeling especially lucky to have views like this so close to home during the shutdown.

Hint: it has extra coarse G10 scales and is smooth as silk on the backspacer.

Wire clip is blacked out.

Fingerguard, just an added bonus.

Cool knife... never really looked into it. You say "like a Sage", looks very much like you´re right: But a larger Sage, which I personally find great, since the Sage is a perfect design, but has a bit too little blade an edge for a general EDC (for my use)
The Domino gives you more of both...(when it comes to actual edge, it has even about Manix length)
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Back with a freshly sharpened edge. Yesterday I got a reminder of the performance tradeoffs of running K390 at 10 dps. I was on the phone, absently carving across the end grain on a wooden pallet spacer, repeatedly banging the edge on the bottom slat. Afterwards I discovered that I had badly rolled a good portion of the edge; it couldn't even slice paper.
Took me a little while to bring it back, but we're good as new now.
