My first Italian - lots of 'personality'
I didn't see the reviews (by the guys we all know) until after I got it. They were right...off center, deployment not that great, not a great slicer of thin paper, but not bad at it either. I was kind of glad because I enjoy taking apart, cleaning, re-lubing, tuning, and re-centering every knife I get - that's what make it officially MY knife. I'm guessing we all do that. The pivots are a bit fussy and I have limited patience and skill, l but I did get the blade centered close enough for me and improved the deployment action, although not exactly WE-ish. The factory edge is great, and I'm not messing with M390 anyway. I don't like thumb studs or glass breakers but the included tool easily made them easily disappear. Now it's really MY knife, and more pocket friendly. So now I'm left with a solid, no-nonsense, just the right size and weight folder that begs to be carried every day. But if you are looking for elegance and refinement, you may be disappointed.
