K390 blue is awesome !
Re: K390 blue is awesome !
To me the k390 color appears to be an almost perfect blend between the spy27 cobalt blue and the teal RIT dye I used on my SS stretch.

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
Thank You for pics. I like the colour a lot. Very nice is the change on different light. Also the steel is top notch. I will have to get me an Endura.
Re: K390 blue is awesome !
The second picture(indirect light) captures the true colour almost perfectly. Good job !

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
I’m a little curious as to why there are so many blues in the factory specials- is it Sal’s favorite color perhaps? I love the blue on the translucent Manix and the Spy27 Native, planning on grabbing a K390 P4 and looking forward to adding to the spectrum. Wish there were more greens though...

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
Blue is my favorite color, and I could never get enough blue handled knives; however, I agree with you that I'd like to see more greens too. I'd love to see a Manix 2 LW in Kelly Green FRCP - maybe with a stonewashed 4V blade?MFlovejp wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 5:45 pmI’m a little curious as to why there are so many blues in the factory specials- is it Sal’s favorite color perhaps?

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
I like the K390 blue just fine, though green is my favorite color group. For what it’s worth I think the Ladybug is fantastic in K390. Long lasting little razor! It will be my dedicated Christmas package opener this year :cool:

Another member of Team Green here. It's my favorite color, as well. But I like variety even more than I like green.

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
I said you asked for more variety of green, brown and red/orange.

Agreed. This seems most accurate to my eyes.
Anyone wondering what they might think of this color in person, this pic best captures it in everyday light I think. Thanks, Julia.

Thanks Sal for putting the request in for a broader color palette.

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
For greens I like olive drab, olive dark earth, foliage green, forest green. Other greens not so much, although a translucent emerald green would be cool on a Manix 2 LW.

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
I like the forest greens, Hunter greens, etc. I don’t care for mints and I really don’t care for “foliage”. Olive can be hit or miss.
Re: K390 blue is awesome !
Give me any kind of medium to darker green. The earthier the better.
Re: K390 blue is awesome !
I like the section of greens from the ZDP British Racing up to a bright forest green, but not as bright as say Kelly Green. I also like the toxic green on the salts because you really can see the thing if you drop it in to a tanin-stained trout stream. Ask me how I know :p

Re: K390 blue is awesome !
Waiting for the Police 4 K390, would be my first Police and K390 blade
Re: K390 blue is awesome !
Awesome color pallets Mr. Sal... I would be very happy if someday the mythical Military 2 in compression lock would come out in green/brown production variants and not leave these colors to dealer exclusives.
