LOL!!! I guess that's one way to put it.
Do you think if we started a wish list thread anyone would listen? I'll start with a 490 variant with CF scales and either M390, 20CV, or Elmax for the blade......I'd pop on that one,,,,,,,,anyone listening?

Now if they came out with a Mini 940, let's say a 945, Bill would be on it like white on rice and there would be a few less of those $$$ left in his pocket! Lol 🤭

I actually like the way this looks! Smaller knife, which I’m favoring at the moment. But over 4.5 oz, which I don’t love. I also realize this product isn’t really aimed at me as a consumer. Pretty cool, though.

/|\ No worries Tim.
No secret, Jason knows the 945-1 would clean out my piggy bank. Think I’d be good for 5 to 10 so long as no blade wiggle ( aka Valet lock up)

I completely agree. That aluminum can get pretty slippery at times.

Huge fan of the 490.A 490 Arcane in blue and black carbon fiber with an M390 blade would be sooo sweet!

BHQ now has the 427 Mini Vallation Series available for pre-order.

I actually like the look of this knife. I’d like to handle it first to see how grippy those ally scales are but that’s not easy to do in Europe, never mind the U.K. of fail.😕

I'll be in for one of these. I like the blade shape. I've handled the full-size and found it a little large for my hands. I'll be contacting Keyman to help lighten the weight with new scales.

Make sure to post of some pics once its complete Scott!

While I've checked, most of the online retailers still have this listed as "Pre-order".
But... I just saw two show up on the bay so they must be starting to ship in limited quantities!

I'm not sure yet. I need a little EDC time with it and will carry it as a secondary for a while. Who knows I may have to get another one, Skeletonize the liners and check with Keyman to see whats possible for some nice scales! Maybe CFs!

Hey BKCTroy, any movement in getting a 490 CF version off the ground?
Thanks, Ben.0 -
Went to pu a 427 at the gunshop. Turned out they had a cf CLA tucked away. That was what followed me home.😃

That's cheating Scott! Lol
But damn if I found one at my local GS I would have done the same! Especially if I found an 1801 tucked neatly away under a 427 or two! 😎

I was looking at the Std CLA and the -1. They mentioned they still had a -1801. Once I had it in my hand I was in love.
Had to have it. The 427 will have to wait a little while.

Interested. Wait until FP scribbling is gone...
