M390 810-1401 Contego

[dfsutton]

Looks nice but I paid just under $130 for my standard Contego using BR549 so to pay this much more to add blue to the handles and switch from M4 to M390 just isn't worth the up charge IMO.

Definitely not the same value as the standard Contego at the old price, but the M390 is something I have been wanting to try. Was looking at the 581 or 755 to try out M390. But seeing as I already love the 810, I figured this was the one to get once I heard about it. It is more expensive, but its worth it to me. Placed my pre-order and am waiting patiently.

Mine has stopped trying to 'cure' me.

Price seems quite reasonable. DAMN! Just what I need, a new knife.

Is there for sure going to be one? Didn't see it mentioned in the blurb (though there were both versions with the AFCK)

No idea but couldn't wait anyways so placed my order today.

This has been asked and answered already in this thread.

It means that it is a non-serialized, single dealer [limited] production model with no specific end run date.

I'm all set with the blue mixed with black G10. It turns me right off.

Aside from that , I'd give it a try.

Fortunately, some black RIT dye can take care of that...

I'm sure you could swap scales with a member pretty easily.
Actually, I'd swap scales with you if you go that route.

This model would be a good subject for CF scales.
There's just something about a satin blade, satin hardware & CF scales.
Yum!

Now you're talking my language.

 

[Wolverine666]

Yes dye or a scale change would def solve the prob I have with the blue G10.

And CF would be sooo sick !!!

It deserves the price a good knife

Anyone know if they've toned down the jimping on this model? The original was a real pain if you used it hard barehanded.

YMMV

 

[RevDevil]

Seems it was softened in later production, not sure.

Yes, they have. Mine causes me no problems barehanded.
