K390 ladybug alert thread
Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
Well... I’m not done yet. I thought I was done with the cbn rods, and have been working with the points of the brown rods only to find I’ve still got some edge glinting on the forward portion of the apex. Back to the cbn I guess. This is more material than I’ve removed on any rex45 knife so far; slow going but making progress. Once it’s sharp, it oughta stay that way for a while!! I may be ready for some vg10 after this :D

Love that blue colour! Boy, when the Endura, Delica, Jazzlica and Endela are released I'm going to go broke :p

Yessir. As I mentioned earlier, it would be an instant buy X2. Would make a fantastic user to add to my rotation.JustinB wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 1:42 pmNot to derail the thread but, I hope we see one too. A Wharnie Endela in VG10 would be amazing, but one in K390 would be perfect :Dspeedseeker wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:46 pmLadybug is the only Endura/Delica family model I'm not planning on picking up. Really looking forward to the Wharnie versions too. Here's hoping we see an Endela Wharnie in K390!
Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
Perhaps within the next couple of Reveals we'll see these announced:
- ManBug K390 Blue FRN
- DragonFly2 K390 Blue FRN
- Delica4 K390 Blue FRN
- Endela K390 Blue FRN
- Endura4 K390 Blue FRN
- Police4 K390 Blue FRN

Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
Now that would be nice, although I don't think those would be announced all at once @ the next reveal :rolleyes:
I could be mistaken but I don't think the Police 4 is on that list, the Stretch 2 however should be on it. As far as I understand, the knives in the upcomming K390 series (distinctive blue), will be the same as in the ZDP-189 series (British racing green). But that's just speculation and some logical thinking :)
For me the "7 Samurai from Japan" are the Ladybug, Manbug, Dragonfly, Delica, Stretch, Endura and the newcomer Endela :D

Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
It’s conceivable that all of the K390 Blue FRN from Japan could show up in the next 1-2 Reveals. The last Reveal had 8 Rex-45 Sprint Runs!

That's a good point actually. It is possible that the rest of the K390 lineup is announced in reveal 5. I am dying for an Endura, Delica, and Delica wharncliffe already

I’m waiting for that P4 in K390 to serve as backup to my G10 P4!

So I count the following for the upcoming K390 Blue FRN production models:
Ladybug 3
ManBug
DragonFly 2
Delica 4
Endela
Stretch 2
Endura 4
Police 4
8 models! Let's hope there will be some variations in blade shape to (like Leaf-shape, Drop-point, Wharncliffe, Emerson opener) and if serrations work out well on K390, perhaps even some with SpyderEdge, ComboEdge, Sheepfoot and Hawkbill versions. :D

Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
The Delica Wharncliffe is getting the K390 treatment for sure. I really hope we see Endura and Endela wharncliffes as wellSamHaLeKe wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:19 amSeems I missed that post, good news.Hopsbreath wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:15 amSamHaLeKe wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:27 amNow that would be nice, although I don't think those would be announced all at once @ the next reveal :rolleyes:

Re: K390 ladybug alert thread
Anyone hardness test this run yet? I'm hoping it's nearly identical to the Police4.
