Key benefits
- Extreme edge retention: K390 holds an edge many times longer than common stainless steels.
- Ideal size: A great compromise between the compact Delica and the larger Endura.
- Lightweight construction: The FRN handle reduces weight without sacrificing strength.
- Serrated edge: Perfect for rope, textiles, plastics, and other fibrous materials.
- Versatile design: Suitable for both right- and left-handed users thanks to the four-position clip.
Possible limitations
- K390 is not a stainless steel: It requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion.
- A serrated edge is not ideal for fine cuts: More difficult to sharpen and less precise for detailed work.
- Work-focused appearance: The blue FRN handle and utilitarian design may not appeal to collectors or lovers of luxury.
Maintenance and care
- Maintenance: Wipe dry after use, keep the blade clean, and occasionally treat it with a light oil (e.g. Ballistol).
- Lubrication: The pivot can be lubricated occasionally for smooth opening.
- Sharpening: Sharpen the serrated edge with special sharpeners (e.g. Spyderco Sharpmaker with triangular rods).
