Larry:

The more I read about m390, the more interesting it gets.

On one knifemaker's forum, a guy said that it made an awesome mirror finish better than any other material and several other posters agreed.

On another, several posters agreed that m390 had the best edge retention.

The only negative thing I've read is that it is a B!+(# to sharpen and I aint skeered!

I know that Bob Loveless used to like to put a nice polish on his 154cm knives. Take a look at some of the pictures and videos of the polished 390s on the internet.

I just wonder what he might have thought.
