In the original Survive!Knives EDC 4 I see it was made in 3v and Elmax. Was there ever an M390 version?

OR, did M390 come in with the GSO 4.1?
 
I have 2 edc4's in elmax, great knife if you can get one-
I like the fatter handle and contouring in particular.

The EDC 4s were only 3V or Elmax. The M390 was with the one batch of GSO-4.1s.

Thanks Ellie. That 4.1 is the one I have on the way.

How many were made in M390? Were any other models made in 390?

Just curious.

I'm not really sure how many, that batch is how I started working at SURVIVE!. Back when I was just building the knives, not managing the whole production. It would have been a few hundred. I am pretty sure the only other model that used M390 was a batch of Neckers.
 
Yes. I had a necker in 390. Thanks.
 
I don't know about the 4s but when I bought my 4.1s many years ago they were made first in S90V and then in M390. The 3V came after that. I have 1 S90Vs and 2 M390s.

Haven't used the S90V so I can't compare them. I just got carried away and bought more than I needed. Enjoy having all three. Guess I am a collector.

Just ordered a sagewood leather scout sheath to try horizontal carry.
