The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

[Edgeoflife]

Picked up an F3 recently in Elmax/G10. Nothing fancy but i do really like the ergos on this model. Coincidentally this is my first Shiro on bearings as well.

That is the next Shiro I want to buy. It may be a liner lock, but I bet it is done right.

The F3 is great in hand, the liners are extremely substantial, and the ergos for disengagement are outstanding.

I don't have the F3 on me at the moment to take a pic of its liner lock but here is one from when i was negotiating the purchase. It's as thick as some frame locks I've seen , yet easy to manipulate.

Another advantage is that the opening action is not affected by finger placement as it tends to be with the framelocks.

Celebrating Carbon Fiber Friday with my big ole, super free-droppin', wicked sharp 111.

As Chazzy can attest, and anyone else with a 111. One of the best features of the 111 is that it can be held and flipped anywhere on the body. Shiro makes great liner locks.

. Ventured out today with the 110KS.

Titanium Tuesday and a new fob.

Glad it worked for you too. I ended up getting a replacement screw for the RDD before selling it (from the company rep on the other forum). Which tool did you use? I have one Sinkevich/Shiro pivot tool that works well but I got the Sinkevich/Shiro pen and the pivot tool doesn't go in the screw head very far, I was curious if anyone else had this problem. The tool for the body screw fits perfectly.

I just bought the Shiro/Sinkevich pen and the large bit won't even go into my Sigma pivot screw. Nice pen but useless for the purpose for which I purchased it.

The bit barely fits my Sigma and will likely strip the pivot it I use it. The bit I bought from Razor Edge fits perfectly. I had other Shiro/Sinkevich collaborations but can't remember if the pen-bit fit any of them...

 

[creativeguy]

That is so strange about the bits not fitting properly. And I contacted Josh at Razor Edge but he's not making them anymore.

I asked the Shiro spokesman about this on the other forum whether there is a difference between Sinkevich's own pivots and those one the Shiro collabs. I felt the answer was ambiguous and can't remember what he said but if you're on that forum maybe give it a look if you have the time... and interest. It is strange and disappointing to honest

Thanks for the info. Hoping to get some help from them. Recon1 hasn’t been helpful so far.

I got my Quantum in yesterday. This is definitely the nicest production knife I've ever handled and won't be my last Shiro.

 

[abartat]

Not mine photo, just saw it on the Instagram.
I assume CD and serial production knives have black boxes, collabs brown, but blue?
What does the blue box and logo with sunglasses mean?

 

[Ember]

I see that blue box has a title that can be translated as Congress, also I remember Shirogorov had one model (maybe more) called Congress - Shirogorov Neon Congress - there's a bear logo wearing glasses. You can find pics here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...ati-f3-95t-cusomized-by-nasgul-95-cf.1538495/

 

[knoefz]

Its a russian collectors club.
Ther're more models with that logo, also a belt buckle..

Like the Shirogorov Bears on the USN forum also have a special logo, featured on a Neon, a 111 and a F95 iirc, also a belt buckle.

 

[abartat]

Thanks Both.

And a blue sticker on a pivot? Does it mean that knife is '3 bears***' ?

 

[Mr.sig239]

Added a christmas touch fob to the blue. This will be my carry for the weekend.
