I found one for $305 and one for $425, also one currently on ebay for $202, 7 Bids, 4 days left, so I'm guessing it'll get up there too.

Realizing that I could easily look myself :D :rolleyes: did you see whether there were completed auctions/BINs (in other words, actual sales)?

First attempt was a total failure. Second attempt appears to have worked. Stay Ti-tuned. :spyder:

Thanks. :D Pic of my second shot below. It works great, locks up safely. The other blade didn't lock up safely. :( For those who haven't picked up what we're talking about, take a look at the handles, especially the side that's only showing in the cutout. We're doing a blade swap with the CPM-M4/Ti+G10 KW limited. The M390 blade is a very nice swap, but all the usual warnings apply - you risk your warranty and maybe your fingers, don't do this unless you are sure you know what you're doing with a blade swap on these or any knife. (Sorry, gotta say that... ;) )

Asked Sal about an S90v CF version of the M4 Millie I came up with a couple yrs ago, and he said "probably not".
It was a pain to build & probaly lost money on every one of them.
(Not the best way to run a business)
Am happy it was made though. Should have kept more than the 2 I have. LOL LOL
And yes, the M390 Millie is SHARP. Looking forward to the cutting test results from this one!

More S90v & CF please.......

No completed sales when I looked yesterday, the ebay one is still at $205

Edit: $300 one sold in 23 hours

AS follow up, I sent an e-mail after posting this, the answer was I would get a PP invoice for the balance when my order was ready to ship. I got that invoice this morning. I guess a small shop and can only do so many in one day.

Maybe after the 2nd shipment, you could borrow one to test?
Any interest?

We know that the steel has been ordered, so there are now just a million things that have to go right for those to ship this year. I really like the looks of this stuff (like S90V, only much harder, and not stainless).
