There you go! 100% vote for a Domino sprint!! There are good reasons not to go with many of those others, which have been discussed already, Tuff should stay in 3V to stay "tough", and many of the rest are not big enough crowd pleasers to ensure a sprint run is bought out. Happy New Year!

I didnt say that as a matter of factly... Hey, I'm all for a K390 GB hehe. It would need GB's approval I imagine. I just thought that GB and M4 is synonymous since he helped popularize the steel and he even put it on a twinkie blade the Air.Evil D wrote:Yeah, I wanted to be fair and list all the Taichung models (apart from the wee little ones). I don't know anything about the GB "having" to be M4? I know that's Gayle's thing but I wasn't aware that it would only ever be that steel.
I have no idea, you may be right. Personally I think the steel would be better suited in a FFG blade, but that's just me.FCM415 wrote:I didnt say that as a matter of factly...

Oh yes, I lust for our FFG's, esp Golden's. But for Taiwan models, I'm really intrigued with the prospect of a K390 GB now hehe! It's strong point may not be toughness like Chuck said but it should be plenty tough. I mean we're talking a very high level of edge retention as its strong point so it is all relative. I'd even like it on a Southard and its thick spine. The way I look at it, K390 on many of Taiwan FFG's may be overkill or flat out not interesting enough for the very first sprint we see come out in K390. The Domino should fit the bill for most, like i said though I wish its blade would be narrowed and lengthened in proportion to the handle.
The only knives on your list to have separated me from my money are the Techno and Southard. The other form-factors have not caught my interest, but a Domino in K390 would, so it has my vote.
