I regret not getting one of these M390 versions when they were out, VERY much. Beautiful knife.710-1401, plus navy RIT dye. Had to keep the blue+black+M390 from yesterday going.

just recently acquired the 910, am loving it so far. it’s so light with the ti liners. & the 490 has been a favorite for a long timeView attachment 1769252
i love it. holds an edge forever. the nice high grind makes it a great slicer. ended up burying it about an inch deep in my thigh once at work, sliced thru pants, boxers, & my leg like there was nothing thereThat 490 looks great with a little wear on it. Looked up the specs and a 0.090" blade thickness sounds really nice... Might have to pick one of these up. How's the S90V treating you?
Love those Ares…easily my favorite Benchmade. I’m lucky to have two,732 for me today.

I have one of these, and absolutely LOVE the thing. So much in fact that I gave away a super freak in preference to this. I hemmed and hawed about getting this with that recurve, but when Knifeworks dropped it to 80 bucks, I grabbed it. It is absolutely the best value knife I own.
