Like others have mentioned, the price and color of the FRN work against this Endura M4 exclusive compared to the regular production K390 at just $12.85 more.

Wharcliffe k390 is under $100 now that it’s discontinued.

$98.53 is only for Endura4 K390 FRN Wharncliffe Plain Edge and Drop Point Spyder Edge while the Drop Point Plain Edge is still $142.80.

Well the Knifecenter Serrated Edge Police 4 in K390 for $113 looks like the better deal for me. Lots of competition this month.

Still in stock. Rit dye is your friend. I’m still enjoying the factory bevel, plan to reprofile soon.

Oh my gosh, I so wish I had the money for one! My favorite handle color and a steel that I really want to try. Unfortunately, having a standard Endura doesn't give me a good excuse either.

Lesser steel better handle material > higher end steel plastic handles and backspacer. In my minority perspective

I got mine this afternoon in the mail. I'm not thrilled about the color but it won't stop me from using and enjoying this version. I'm an Endura guy and I have liked M4 since I first tried it. It's not really bad at anything and it takes a nice edge pretty easily. I won't go out of my way to think up tests for it but I will not baby it either just like the rest of my Enduras.

I freaking love M4, but K390 for $10 more at KnivesPlus etc seems worth it IMO

I wasn't waitin' for it per se, but as soon as I saw your post this morning, I definitely jumped on it too, lol, and I am very much looking forward to getting it in hand, sharpening, using, etc...
I don't know if I'll dye the handle or not, but I am going to do my "normal" slightly past straight spine (so concave), e.g. worker-esque spine re-profile that I've started doing on my PacSalts & Enduras, and smooth the finger "bumps" on the handle a little too. I love the Endura; and for me, with just a little bit of work, a great knife becomes even greater.

I picked up an Endura/M4 last weekend at the Seconds Sale. Just as another data point they were $80 out the door.

I also had the Sage 5, Delica, and Native 5 versions in my basket but tossed the Delica and Native 5 back. (You gotta leave a few for breeding purposes, ya know. :winking-tongue )
