When it arrives: Could you compare the serrations on yours to those shown in the depiction on the Spyderco site?

Sometimes the serrations (pattern, even number of scallops) can differ from the actual knife to that depiction.
I wonder for example if the PE part towards the tip really will be as (rather) short as on the pic.

I wonder how k390 serrations will take to sharpmaker sharpening.

Same here!
Also how fast they´ll wear the rods - since one can only use the corners for SE, and perhaps will want to use the diamond or CBN rods for that steel.

I have a (totally layman) feeling, that for me personally VG10 could be a better choice than K390 for SE. Holds an edge quite long i serrated format, and is still really easy to sharpen (VG10, I mean).

My experience with K390 is that, I find it easy to maintain an edge, much harder to restore an edge.

So, I run my blades across the rods periodically while they are still sharp rather than waiting til they are done.

While I'm not a SE guru, I think the same will apply.

Any thoughts concerning toughness of K390 on an SE blade? I think SE is more prone to damages, due to the pointy "teeth". but also the chisel grind - so I´d assume that with SE one would "trade hardness for toughness" a bit more than with PE - especially since SE holds an edge longer than PE in the same steel anyway.

Evil D sharpened his K390 SE Police in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=90767
and documented his results. Interesting to read.

Are you sure it wasn't Plain Edge? The pictures on the K390 product pages show the serrated versions. Maybe i missed it but I haven't seen the tick box to select Spyderedge yet. Only on the Police.

It says plain edge on the page, but shows SE yes. Might be a surprise when it comes in the mail

Your absolutely right! I wasnt paying close enough attention. I will have to call and cancel in the morning. Thanks for the catch.
