Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
I'm going to be sleeping tonight with visions of Smurf Blue FRN M390 Dragonflies dancing in my head. Man I hope that is what it is!

Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Not sure how you guys keep thinking this is a Shaman or something else out of Golden. Have you taken a minute to look at the curved font and overall style of every single Shaman/PM2/Para 3/etc released out of Golden and not a single one matches the style of the tang stamp that LC posted?
Take a look at this recent HAP40 Lum Tanto tang - the way the S and P and the Y and D of the company name are spaced - that’s ONLY a Seki thing. I would fully expect the color difference - that the HAP40 one is rust colored - is simply due to the chemistries (different oxidation potentials) of the two steels.

Haha this reminds me of Forensic Files.

We're all assuming that the photo is from the new run? Not a stock photo from an old run or something?
Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Hmmm... NONE of my Seki spyders look like that. The kerning is all even. This is a sampling of: green, blue, and pink Delica 4s; orange df2; Salt 2; hap40 wharncliffe Delica; and Remote Release.
Also of note is that ALL of my pm2s and para3s have capital “S” and lowercase “pyderco”.
This exhausts my available comparators, so... I’ve no idea what that Bento Box exclusive could be!
Eta- some good pricing on otherwise unavailable knives!

Who knows where that photo is from. Could even be photoshop :D

Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Ooooh what if it's a Dodo!
A guy can dream right?
Letterings right.
(Probably not :D )
What about a Blue Handled Respect? Lulz
See this mystery reveal things has backfired already, what ever it is, it wont live up to the possibilities of what it could have been.

I'm betting Delica, but hoping for a Dragonfly.

Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Hmmm, being a CC member I also seem to have a few Seki Spydercos sitting around. Here’s my stamped VG-10 wharnie Delica, looks pretty similar. All the multitude of other FRN colors all shared this font style, although most recent ones are now lasered on versus stamped.
Still looking like it’s Seki made to me... I guess folks don’t see the direct similarity to this and the Lum Tanto lettering style...

Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Character spacing in that stamping is even, and it’s a Delica. What knife belongs to the stamp/etch for the HAP40/SUS420 you posted further up?

I'm with you!! Praying for an FRN Dragonfly, or an FRN Delica would be a close second.
Could be a Lum Tanto or Police though. :confused:

Unless they are bringing back the jester, this is going to be a big swing and a miss.

I 100% agree. Totally a Seki engraving. If only it were a bit wiggly like some of the vtoku’s.... That would clear things up.
If it turns out to be an endura, will you let your cc into the wild, or hang onto it? My vtoku endura is 087....

Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
Yeah I see that now...
Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
If it's a Delica or Endura i hope its a wharncliffe
Re: New M390 Bento Box Shop Exclusive
DLT actually mentioned on their Instagram today in the comments section of their new release that they were gonna still be releasing the red m390 PM2 at some point in the not so distant future.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 12:57 pmThat would be interesting, as I was under the impression that DLT was releasing their M390 PM2 again sometime this year...though interestingly enough, they've released the satin/tan 20CV and the DLC version tomorrow. I wonder if DLT pulled out of another M390 run, and maybe BBS is doing theirs again instead??
