- 🔴 Limitations
- K390 is not stainless: It requires basic care - it may develop patina or rust if neglected.
- Aggressive blade for EDC: In some environments, it may appear too robust or "tactical".
- Limited availability: This model is only offered in selected editions and can sometimes be harder to find.
- 🛠️ Maintenance and sharpening
- Maintenance: Wipe dry after each use, and ideally coat the blade occasionally with a light layer of anti-corrosion oil.
- Sharpening: K390 is a hard steel - a quality diamond or ceramic sharpener is recommended.
- Lubrication: A drop of pivot oil will keep the pivot and lock operating smoothly.
