Bento Box Shop is teasing a new M390 (presumably) exclusive on their Facebook page. I wonder what it could be? Thoughts?

I would rather have seen them do another Elmax exclusive. There is enough M390/CTS-204P/20CV stuff.

I would venture to guess an imparted model going off of that tang “stamp”. Layout/format looks like it could be from Seki City, but also looks like machining from Taiwan. Hmmm...I am curious now. I don’t think it will be a Golden model though.

Yeah that doesn't look like Golden CO engraving to me either.

Great guess! It does look like the Urban font, and M390 is a Bohler Uddeholm steel, which is the European maker of the last 3 Urban steels (AEB-L, K390, and Elmax). I think you may be right.

Police 4 light weight.

I know it's not likely to get m390 out of Japan. However all of the other models have curved font that follows the edge of the of the scale. (Sage, Chaperel, Para3)

It almost has to be Seki knife. Have they done the Caly? I would like that. Weird to see a non Japanese steel in Japanese knife though but I guess they did use S30V

If it's a Para 3 LW or Kapara I will be all over it. Fingers crossed!

I'd love to see a Sage or Chaparral. But I'm not sure that's even possible. Which models have they already done? Para 2, Para 3, Military?

I think an M390 Chaparral would make an excellent EDC

Urban would be pretty cool too. :)

If the font and its layout are real clues, I think the Sage and Chap must be ruled out. Their texts arc.
