K390 Shaman?

[afalcone]

Was taking a look at BentonBoxShop and I saw the K390 PM2 and Para 3. Ive been a huge fan of my Shaman since I bought it along with a few sprints. Was thinking that it would be a great model to make in K390? Thoughts? Am I stupid?

I think it's just a matter of time before we see a Shaman in k390. Lots of people here have been hoping for one.

For me personally, both a Shaman & Manix2 in K390 are at/near the very top of most wanted list... I think the steel will lend itself to both models very well... and it has been confirmed that the Endura family is also getting the K390 treatment -- so lots of good news on the K390 front in the near(ish) future. I'm excited!

I would probably pick up a shaman in K390. A Manix too, especially in a nice flavour of G10 :D

I see some people in this thread that should probably be my best friends! Been wanting to try some K390...Manix and Shaman are my favorite models lately!

Manix in K390 would be awesome. :)

If it's Ranger Green and offered through BBS I might have to get one. But I'd rather have a Military 2 first. :-)

Hi, Friend! :)

K390 Manix 2 and Shaman would be awesome. I think it's also time for a run of K390 Manix XL. Love the ranger green.

[SteveMidwest]

So much yes! :D
At this point. Those are now in my #1 & #2 spots, for 2020.
A K390 Manix 2, and Shaman.
How about we ask for Ranger Green Canvas Micarta, this time around? :spyder:

:D Back at ya TkoK83Spy, cool to see others share a passion for both the steel & models...

I would be surprised to see either a Shaman or Manix2 come out in Ranger Green (ala BBS) -- It's almost impossible to differentiate Foliage Green seen on the Manix2 XHP and Ranger Green found on the K390 PM2/Para3 (at least in the examples I have)

A K390 shaman is tied with a k390 manix XL as my most wanted knives. Hopefully it'll happen this year.

[GarageBoy]

If you make it micarta they will come

You said the 2 magic words around here lately..."Shaman" and "K390" :)

K390 seems like the forbidden fruit. Why haven't we seen a Military in it yet? Some combos seems like a no brainier so there must be more to why some steels don't make it into some models.

I have had the exact same thought(s), 4V is my favourite steel for and outside of the Province, it's only been available through the St Nicks and Fradon Exclusives, I'm stoked that I have been able to get my two favourite models (Shaman & Manix2) in it, albeit at a secondary market prices.

10V, until the REC exclusive today, was only available in the K2, although I sincerely hope this will usher in Shaman & Manix2 from someone...

K390 seems to be the same way, only available in the P4 until the BBS PM2/Para3 Exclusives, and no Shaman or Manix2 anywhere in sight... (ok, yes, the urban)

Fortunately with my other two favourite steels, Rex45 and Cruwear, I have been able to get (relatively recently) in my beloved Shaman & Manix2...

Maybe it's a cost/overhead thing, perhaps it's to see how well the steel does initially in the market... IDK

The upcoming K390 Seki line was slow to become a reality, since there was a shortage of K390 last year. I wonder if it's generally not made in large quantities, or maybe it was just bad timing. Maybe 10V is the same? It might explain the limited releases.

K390 Blue Denim Micarta Shaman. Make it and they WILL come!!!
