Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Looks like there'll be plenty of joy in Mudville today.
(I'll have to wait a few days for waiting until Saturday to place my order.)

St Nick's does an exclusive- gone in 4 minutes and lots of angry forumites - bbs does one, and charges a few bucks more and it sits for a bit... Those combo deals are actually a decent value

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Yes they are, and that's one thing that most other retailers don't do. Additionally, if one doesn't see a combo that one likes, one just MIGHT be able to ask nicely and maybe BBS would be willing to indulge one by making a "custom combo." One isn't trying to speak on behalf of BBS, but one may have had excellent service from them in the past, and know of persons other than oneself getting the same treatment.

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
I actually asked BBS if I could do that with this exclusive, and was told (very nicely) that they couldn't do custom combos now. Maybe I'm not a VIP customer.JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 2:55 pmYes they are, and that's one thing that most other retailers don't do.

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Hmm, interesting. Maybe it's something they recently decided against, or maybe it's just for this exclusive etc... But, as one has observed, they HAVE done it in the past (even this year), so maybe it'll be something they'll be able to return to at some point. But don't worry, from what I have seen they treat anybody who is willing to spend money like a VIP, so I'm sure it's not just you (or one lol) :cool:JuPaul wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 2:58 pmI actually asked BBS if I could do that with this exclusive, and was told (very nicely) that they couldn't do custom combos now.

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
I'm not complaining, for sure. I've never had a bad customer service experience with BBS, and I've bought from them before and will again. If anything, I'm glad they said no this time - it saved me from spending even more money!JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 3:06 pmHmm, interesting.

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
I'm trying my best not to buy this hoping to hear something firm about a Para 3 with the same configuration.

DLC would by poison I think. Haven't had K390 with DLC

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Why do the pivot screws in all the pics of the k390 model look like they are protruding from the g10? Thinner slab of g10?
Re: Bento Box Something Something....
It really is a great picture. The only one I'm missing is the 20CV but its composition is close enough to 204P that I don't really mind. (Too much.)

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Good question I'd say production tolerances. Noticed this on the smooth g10 just assumed it was because those scales were thinner from the sanding

Re: Bento Box Something Something....
Lots of good looking knives on this page.
I finally used this K390 enough to notice a diminishing sharpness on the edge. I thought I would try the white sharpmaker stones to try and clean it back up. The white stones didn't even phase this stuff. I moved to the brown stones and was able to quickly get that hair popping sharpness back. Hopefully, BBS will still have this one in stock a month or so from now. If so, I may pick up another.
