That's a great all around knife. M390 is a result of a merger of Austrian Bohler and Swedish Uddeholm. It is a third generation powdered steel specifically formulated for high corrosion resistance and able to obtain high hardnesses. I'm pretty sure that's all direct from memory of things I've read about it online. As I was going to use it in the build of some of my own blades.

Pull the trigger!

Ultimately the lack of guard on the Bradford pushed me away. Also, ordering direct from Lionsteel the M5 I wanted was only 90€, when the other variants were all priced at 160€. It seemed too good to pass up so I thought about it awhile and I just ordered it. There's a guy in Germany who makes a scout carry kydex sheath for it, so I'll get one of those. I really appreciate everyone's feedback. Thanks for helping me sort through this so I could make a decision I felt good about. Looking forward to this showing up in about 3 months.
