I will buy one if BR549 works.
Fill a hole in your pocket or cut one, either way.Wow, I really want one even though it doesn't fill any holes. I already have an 810 which is one of my absolute favorite knives of all time. I think a 950 with this set-up would have been better for me since I don't yet have a 950, but oh well, with M390, it's a must have!
"Have to ask oneself if the 810-1401 Contego with M390 is "worth" (read subjective) the extra $60! "
To me for an LE? Yes.
But for an extra $17.00 its a no brainer.
In June 2011 the M390 and black/blue G10 AFCK exclusive cost $187.90 out the door from KW. A ~$15 increase for the same materials in a similarly-sized knife after two and a half years seems more than reasonable.
I plan to pick this one up, for sure.
