Man that's a gorgeous blade. I love the slim clean lines.

I wish they'd release the 3 inch versions again. I'd be on them in a heartbeat.

@victorinoxfan i carried it all week - you definitely know you're carrying a 4" knife but it carries lighter than most. i never knew they made a 3" version...i'll have to google it to see what it looks like.

thanks!

@defenseandsafety thanks for the info man! just pulled the trigger on the m390 710. cant wait to get it

[defenseandsafety]

@SezMan716 sweet - i am jealous!

[defenseandsafety]

@SezMan716 my 710 looks good - i just wipe it down with oil or a tuff cloth once ever few months - so far so good.

[SezMan716]

Nice review man. How's the D2 on your 710 doing against rust/how do you keep it from staining?

I like how you compare different knives together, gives me a great sense of what I'm about to get :) Keep it up. Thanks!
