thats one stout looking little knife. how does that M390 compare to some of the other steels they use as far as edge retention, and ease of resharpening?

Don't know much about the steel (other than it is expensive).

Not a bad looking hard use folder. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? Haven't seen any at dealers.

So do the boys have a new mumblety-peg knife, or are you selling that bad motorscooter? ;)

Nice looker. Looks tough too. I wonder how it cuts and holds an edge. I like it except I don't like tip down carry.

The first production versions are usually collectable so I generally try and hold onto them.

We will be stocking this knife (as it is one of my favorites that BM makes).

Do you know if it will be offered with a black coated blade as another option?

Don't know. If they do, it most likely won't be for a year.

We just received some of these in. They are all marked "First Production."

Get them while you can!

I just snagged a Pre-Production at my local shop. Neat little knife, I just dont know if I am in love. I'll carry it for a few days and report back.
