Beautiful knife. How do you like it so far ? I’ve got one I’m debating on selling - I love the profile of the blade though, hefty but it still cuts like a knife should. What’s your thought on k490 so far ?

Took it out for the first time today.
Great first impressions :D

Handles great imho. Not a super chopper but can't expect that from this size. It did great in carving, making curls and batonning.
Love its's looks and finishes. I can see myself convexing the edge in the future for more smoother experience in making curls.

The micarta is shaped a little less refined than some other lionsteels, no fancy milling patterns or ridges arounf the screws. But maybe that's better for a hard use knife, less chance for hotspots.

Great sheath imho. Can't say much about the steel yet, should be fantastic.

Got more thoughts and pics here if you like.

Thank you ! That is a beautiful knife
