Yes. I have the VG10 version which I assume is the same as the K390 version.

Well…it has been at least a week since I last ordered a Spyderco…

It’s been almost two weeks now Bolster! They call me Frug-Al on the streets these days.

LOL. Strength and courage, Frug! Two weeks, wow! Your ascetic self-denial is an inspiration to us all!

Cashed in all the rewards points I had at one of my favorite dealers and finally nabbed one of these.


Like it a lot. It's not that much lighter compared to the G10 version, but I could feel the balance difference since I'm used to the latter. Obviously lighter in the handle. Have to agree with the previous posts that the action isn't that great out of the box if you're used to like the PM2 and such. Won't drop or even slow/hydraulic close. It's just kinda gritty feeling. Initially oiled it but that made no difference. Eventually opened it up and polished all the surfaces and washers. Somewhat better. Adjusted the pivot and stop pin slightly and it's acceptable now, but not quite as good as my G10.

Just happy to have some K390 in a compression lock knife now. The handle ergos are awesome in the LT3 if you haven't tried one.

Thanks for this comparison pic! I have also g10 model and patiently waiting for K390 to appear in Europe.

The blade on LW model seems to have a slightly different profile. Just an optical illusion?
