I’ve really been meaning to pick one of those up, but with the price of diesel now…I'm usually not the "honeymoon period" type, but since I got it a few weeks back the simple K390 Stretch has found its way into my pocket quite a bit, whether around the house or out and about (Seen here while enjoying dessert on the back porch as the sun sets over the Olympic Mountains in the distance).

BTW - I think satudave is CharlieMike’s spirit animal.
I hear ya there man...Yea, for some reason I've rekindled my interest in the LW Spydercos as of late, and I had heard so many people raving about the K390 and waned to try it out, so I decided to pick it up in a model I hadn't previously experienced. When I had it apart for the dye job and patina I decided to polish the washers up a tad and add some CRK fluorinated grease upon reassembly, and now it flicks out rather nicely for a back lock. It took a screaming edge with just a little touch-up and I've been quite pleased with it overall.I’ve really been meaning to pick one of those up, but with the price of diesel now…![]()
