Does anyone know if this exists?
Checking all over different distributors online for an exclusive.
I have one in 154cm. I have M390 on my Ritter grip and now I'd like to combine the two.

Please tell me good news
 
Not in M390 but CPM20CV, which as far as I know is very similar if not the same thing.

Other then that I don't think they make a M390 sheepsfoot.
 
I was afraid you'd say that.
I already have the 551 in grey G10 / 20cv.
In my own mind I couldn't justify picking up the same steel and same scales as the knife you posted. Damn!
I think I need a safe space now.

Maybe a distributor will have an exclusive made sometime in the future. A fellow can dream.
 
There are small differences between m390, 204p and 20cv, but overall they are very similar. its possible that one is better than the other, but that could depend entirely on the heat treatment or even blade/edge geometry.

so knowing that 20cv is the same now you still want one in m390?
 
Haha. Yes I do. I realize the steel characteristics are very similar so I guess I just want variety in my collection.
I suppose I could always change out the scales to give it a little bit of difference.

Edit: Oops, I just noticed you were asking about a Sheepsfoot style blade.
 
I have a Ritter Mini Grip in M390 and a 555-1 in 20cv. I cannot tell a difference in performance between these two steels, though the Ritter is perhaps a slightly better slicer (I prefer it) due to the blade geometry.
 
Why not go to their site and build a custom Sheepsfoot grip in M390?

It is still offered on there. You get to choose your type of handles, be it FRN or differing patterns and colors of G10, you can choose a black blade or standard, and your preferential color of liners, axis, screws, and pocket clip.

I don't see an M390 option on their custom shop configurator.

I guess they did finally swap that over to 20CV...

They must have either had a bit left and used it for the Customs, since they move less volume than a full run, or just neglected to update their site for a bit.
 
I've seen the DLT Trading offer. It's nice but wanted the sheepsfoot.
I went to benchmades build your own and configured a black 20cv sheepsfoot with the forest green G10.
Love the look and it definitely looks different than the others I own. Now I just have to pull the trigger.
