Hi DFD04,
Thanx for the comments on the K390 steel. I'll keep your request on mind and I'm sure some of our Exclusve customers have also seen your request.

My K390 Love Affair/Sal Request
Re: My K390 Love Affair/Sal Request
Thank you most kindly for your consideration! You’ve truly knocked it out of the park with the presentation of K390.
Stay Safe!

Re: My K390 Love Affair/Sal Request
I'd really love to see a Native in K390. Seems like an ideal platform for a working steel.

Talkin' Story;
K390 was "my baby" from the beginning. While I'm not a metallurgist, I do have some understanding of blade steels and the chemistry of K390 caught my attention. First I made a Mule Team, which was well received. (two years on the making). Then it took another year plus to get our Japanese partner to learn to work with it, (not easy) and then we moved to make the entire Endura family in the steel. It is not stainless, which even I have managed to get some pitting ( my bad) but it has some high performance edge strength that is surprising. We are pleased to be able to offer this steel to the knife afi's that enjoy it.
And yes, I'd like to see a Shaman in this steel, even with an FRN scale (to keep the cost down).

Re: My K390 Love Affair/Sal Request
I like the idea of a Military in K390 quite a lot. However, what about a new model with a large blade and uber strong lock?
