Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
You know what's interesting, the photos of the P4 K390s that have been circulating are showing a blue with much less green in it than the catalogue renderings. It reminds me a lot of the V-Toku2 blue FRN.

Unfortunate, I was looking forward to a darker more teal color.

I think the color in those pics is just the lighting.

Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
I doubt it. All the other real photos I've seen online are similar.

Wouldn't that be a fish sticker for you? :pSurfingringo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 5:53 pmI want one for sure! I’ll have to grind the spine flat on mine though. That tip hump isn’t as pronounced as the endura but I don’t need the extra tip strength and I’d rather have a full on pig sticker.

I just placed an order with New Graham.
I can post pictures versus a K390 Endura when it arrives.

Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
Just got mine in the mail from the Collectors Club member I bought it from.
First impressions are WOW. Perfect centering and fit /finish. The action is the smoothest of any of my Japanese Spydercos yet, and the lockbar spring is relatively gentle compared to my other P4, which is a welcome change.

Here it is next to my V-Toku Stretch, for color comparison:

I'll embed the images when I get onto my desktop.

Thanks for sharing, I've been waiting to see how the color looks.

Nice! I’m loving the P4LW - even in vg10!

I've never seen them all arrayed together like that. It's got me thinking that I need to try an Endela. I don't like the dragonfly or the Endura, but I want the rest.

The one I got in the mail today is the same muted tealy blue as other knives in the series. I guess it's a hard color to get right in photos? It does change in different lights.

Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
Having just bought the standard LW, I find myself seriously considering this as well - I want K390 but the Endela handle just wasn’t as comfortable for me as the P4 by a considerable margin. Then again, the cf Chief is in stock....

I'm sure we'll see some RIT dye solutions!! Probably some cool things be done with them. I'm looking so forward this!!
Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
I'm glad I made a black one by blade swapping :D
Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
Very nice.
Is the Grey FRN Urban in K390 the only one you don't have?
u.w.

Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
There was also a K390 Pingo exclusive and a K390 Mule Team. Maybe one day I'll hunt them all down but there's like 6 more versions coming in the near future so I'm holding off the hunt for now. :)

Re: Police 4 K390 LW is shipping to dealers
I got mine today, but it looks like everyone posted everything. It looks like a shade of blue to me.
The SPY27 Manix looks blue green to me.
I have the Pingo and the Urban and the Mule. I actually got a spare Urban because I thought K390 wasn't going to be as available as it really is anymore. I don't collect Paras anymore, I have a few.
