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.

I doubt it. All the other real photos I've seen online are similar.

I 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.
Wouldn't that be a fish sticker for you? :p

I just placed an order with New Graham.

I can post pictures versus a K390 Endura when it arrives.

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.

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.

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....

Very nice.

Is the Grey FRN Urban in K390 the only one you don't have?

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. :)

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.
