I only carry 3 bits currently, and you would need all 3 sizes to work on the latter 3 knives. I don't currently have a pivot bit available for the 111 but will try to make some in the next batch.REK Knives can you provide details on what bits are needed for a 111, F95NL, F3, & Hation Zero please?
Nice , what flavor of blade steel is it ?
If you’d kindly let me know when the 111’s are done I’d appreciate it.I only carry 3 bits currently, and you would need all 3 sizes to work on the latter 3 knives. I don't currently have a pivot bit available for the 111 but will try to make some in the next batch.
If those blades are indeed sand-blasted to achieve their texture, they must go through a subsequent polishing process to give them their final appearance. Each of mine must have either been initially blasted with a finer medium or subjected to a greater polishing process after.
I don't see where we disagree in any way. I also love the orange peel appearance of Andrey's blades. FYI, the "dealer's" description that you quoted is the Google translation lifted verbatim from the Biryukov website.From the dealer website:
Folding knife M390 Number 4 made of BOHLER M390 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC. The surface of the blade is polished with sandblasting. Handle material - titanium. Blade length 110 mm, width 26 mm. Weight - 145 grams.
I’m sure additional finishing is needed to achieve the mirror finish after sandblasting, but nevertheless, I love the orange peel appearance of the blade.

That’s the recent addition. After selling an F3 and F95NL I was left with only NeOn-sized models.I'm a little unclear on your meaning JAB . Is that a pic of a former Turtle or of one you just acquired to fill the void? I don't think I could live without an F95-sized Shiro and will likely not be parting with any of mine. My first Bear was a 95mm F3 Python followed by an F95T, then a Hati, then my F95R. Here's my regular work-user which can either be photographed to look pristine...
...or to show the effects its hard use.
Even my previously pictured RDD is 95MM.
The Turtle is definitely the flagship model and one any self respecting Shiro lover has just gotta have. Don't you feel better now, brother?That’s the recent addition. After selling an F3 and F95NL I was left with only NeOn-sized models.
