Delica k390 Wharncliffe

Post by Haunted House »

Noticed a few retailers have the Delica k390 Wharncliffe up on their sites now, listed as “coming soon”.
Anyone have any idea when they might go live?

I'm patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the k390 dragonfly Wharncliffe. It sure would be a nice Christmas gift.

Anyone have experience with KnifeHub? I've never ordered from them (or heard of them for that matter), and when I went to put in an order, the fraud protection on my card was set off. I used Google maps to check out their "storefront" location and it has me a little concerned too.

They are on the dealer locator list. Their site wouldn't accept my credit card so i didn't get to try them. I'm pretty sure SG89 has ordered twice from them. First order was ok? And then she got the wrong knife in the right box on another order. And I've heard two people say they shipped really fast. That's all i got.

Coupon code... knives21 worked for me at G&R

Thanks for the info. Good to see they're on the dealer list. I had forgotten about that resource. :)

I think I'll just go ahead and wait for DLT to get their stock.

I have ordered from them. Great people to work with. I called with a couple of questions and the guy I spoke with was helpful. I received a tracking number for my order almost immediately after placing it. I would definitely order from them again.

When buying a knife online stick with the vendors who have a good track record, and are trusted by many forum members.

So excited for this model - peak Spyderco excellence! Does anyone have strong opinions about SE or PE in k390? I want to see how I like k390 and PE will give me a better comparison to my other users in nerd steels which are mostly PE.

Now it’s imminent I can’t decide which (but had planned SE). Have got a wharncliffe Delica SE in VG10 and love it but the PE k390 looks so sweet.

Are these actually in a darker blue frn?? Those looks similar to the KnifeJoy exclusive blue than the typical K390 blue.
14 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays

It's gotta be the lighting in the pics. I can't see why they would change the color. It might sound stupid but the K390 blue has a big color shift, depending on lighting. Not sure what that's called though. Mine should arrive tomorrow.

Finally got mine for KnifeCenter pre-order. Very nice and will share time between my Hap40, 20Cv versions. Didn't come as out of the box sharp as my 20CV version but no matter.

Agree, the CPM 20CV Delica and Endura plus Delica Wharncliffe are exceptionally sharp out of box.
My K390 Delica and Endura are very easy to sharpen and deburr,,,, a weekly light spray and wipe down with EDCi leave a hard thin coating for rust/corrosion prevention.

FK

This is next up on my list, along with a VG-10 Delica Wharnie and VG-10 Endela Wharnie. I've been carrying my 20CV Delica Wharnie the past few weeks and am sold on the Wharnie blade. I really enjoy my Dfly Wharnie and Manbug Wharnie as well.

Keep the Wharnies coming! Hope to see some more exclusives/sprints and some Cru-cartra versions on these awesome knives!
