One for myself!

I had a little piece of M390 left over from a custom order so I decided to make myself a little EDC to test the M390 and see how it performs for myself. I find it hard to believe that a steel that finishes this easy will hold an edge the way everything I've read says it will. We shall see.
Anyway, its eaxctly 6" long, 1 & 3/16" wide at the plunge, & 1/8" thick. 2 & 7/8" from tip to plunge & the Amber Jigged Bone handle is 3 & 1/8" long.
Its flat ground with a 400X belt finish.
Let me know what y'all think.

Thanks guys.

Mr. Richard, yes, M390 is one of the new 3rd gen. PM steels from Bohler-Uddeholm. Its actually called M390 Microclean. Its very easy to grind when hard. About like hardened 1084 in my opinion. I'll give an evaluation after I carry it for a while.
