Got it! Thank you! :thumbsup:

That's great! I kept seeing Pochi(s?) and the Maxamet Sage 1's pop up at a bunch of places but the only other place with the K390 Endura was REC. My F5 finger needs a break! Lol

It says 4 left if there any other takers... https://northwestknives.com/collections ... -c10fpk390

Just got notice that my K390 Blade HQ pre-order (through Blade HQ) has shipped and should be arriving Monday.

I don't know why I'm so excited. I already have a Gin-1, ATS-55, ZDP-189, Super Blue, Damascus (VG-10 Core), HAP40, V-Toku2, Super Gold, and S30V Endura, but I feel like that's not enough!

I fully admit that it's an obsession at this point, but it stems from my pretty firm (and I think pretty well-founded) conviction that there is no folding knife on the market (at least none I'm aware of) that can really compete with the Endura as a pure cutting tool.

I'm excited as well... K390 is great for a "pure cutting tool", and the color is better in person.

I just want to say thanks. Especially Buddafucco. I was able to grab one from Northwest knives because of the heads up. I've been waiting for this release for far too long. :)

Got mine today and it is fantastic. Solid lockup (no blade play), smooth, good centering, and good grind. Can't wait to put it to use. Here it is with the whole family:

Yeah, I got mine yesterday too. I'm impressed with the quality of it all around. The edge is better than the knives Seki was putting out several years ago. It shows the consistency of a CNC controlled grinder. Seki used to have all hand ground stuff until ? I'm unsure when this changed.

No longer do I ever find the stray waxy pieces of buffer grit inside or on the back of the blade. It is well cleaned and completely oiled with obvious care to keep the blade rust free going to the first owner. They have really gotten their act together compared to 3 or 4 years ago. Whoever QC's these and preps the knives is doing a great job.

I plan on spending a lot of time with this knife. No going back into the box for this one. The other ones are far from worn out as these seem to last forever but this version seems like it was designed with me in mind. :)

Hi K390 fans, would anyone know when the Endela K390 will be available ?
I'm living in Europe and so far no way to locate the knife at any of usual online dealers.

Thanks and greetings from France

Hey Marc, I just got a notification from the Spyderco app that the K390 Endela is now shipping to dealers. Hope this is of some use!

Mine finally shipped from a vendor notorious for slow order shipping. I decided that I wanted a larger blade to fully realize the benefits of K390. Usually I would have purchased a Delica, or in this case, waited for an Endura.

I got tired of waiting for a pre-order, so I picked one up from DLT, and cancelled the pre-order. Someone on the waiting list will get their's a bit sooner.
