Very Nice!
Please keep us posted.
I would love to hear a little more about this new model.

For me, today, it's these two.....one at a time mind you.
But still one of these two.....

Thanks, now the blade edge looks like this!

I really like this model(490) it acts like a bigger blade but carries like a 940. Aluminum scales are smooth and slippery, won't ruin your pants but I can see myself dropping it one day, definitely a gentleman's knife. Wish someone made some custom cf scales for it, hint hint, lol. Don't like the little lock slider thing but if you just ignore it it doesn't get in the way. Might remove the assist spring and see how she flips.

Ole faithful. Mine has worn in so nicely, the action is effortless with solid lockup. It's always a joy to use and carry.

My name is George, and I approve this message.

I really like the 490, looks great for a work carry but wish it wasn't assisted, want to take full advantage of the axis lock and have the ability to flip closed. Keep us posted if u do go through.
