It's huge, but the thinner profile still feel somewhat nice. Like a big tall gentlemen. Slice like butter like it should. Long blade make it an excellent food prep knife. Just remember to keep it oiled and you're good.

Fit and finish are not quite up to par for the price now being asked _ blade came quite off-center and rubbing on one side of scale, screws for clip not perfectly the same so can sometimes touch or compress on the washer or blade tang when in tip down position. Opening and closing action can be a bit hit or miss, it offers different resistance to opening at different angles of the opening motion and sometimes feels slightly too tight despite adjustment of pivot screw.

However the blade grinds and edge are consistent, the FRN handles are slim, lightweight and very grippy. If you do not need contoured, smooth handles for hours of work, this may well be a superb working folder with a lot of edge retention and decent toughness in quite long and nimble blade with excellent cutting and piercing geometry.

My only gripe is the carry size, due to it's slimness it carries fine unless you need to constantly squat or get into rather compressed or stacked positions where your thigh is tight to your ribcage or chest. Can get a little uncomfortable then. Would work well for a thigh or cargo pocket rather than standard slash hip pocket. However due to the mentioned issues with the clip, I found it awkward to draw tip up since you need to adjust your grip almost a full inch towards pivot to open knife comfortably.

Overall a niche but highly capable folding knife.

Have been considering this folder for ages but VG10 and black frn wasn’t exciting me. I was also concerned it may just be too big. Turns out it takes everything great about the Endura and made it larger. Still carries easily, with a smooth strong action and in K390 is a fantastic working knife. It’s a big knife certainly but if you’re not restricted by blade length then I’d say go for it. And in the VG10 version it’s also a good value large folder! It was well worth the wait!
