The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

My Old School Hati on washers just seems a smoother and freer flipper as the years go by. It clearly had something of a hard life with at least 4 other owners before I got it in 2017, but I put a fair amount of work into its functional improvement and keep a great working edge on it. Despite all the wear, before and since, this knife just seems to get better with age, is one of my very favorite users, and is a helluva cutter to boot.

She still looks like a million. :)
 
It has been a great knife so far. No matter how hard I try I can't make it deploy from the fuller.
Even two handed.

Well. Now I'm really curious. Looks mighty reverse flickable. I'll report back as soon as I get my mits on one and try it.
 
If anyone was waiting for production Astrum, it's available you-know-where for $1'250.

Very similar to FP, except for M390, monochrome scales and a little different milling pattern on the rear part of the scales.

This one incoming today was about $300 or more cheaper than the Astrum, and I don't regret getting it one bit!

It even came gift wrapped with a personal note from the dealer! Pictures do NOT do it justice 😍

Congratulations!.. Alutex is a very attractive option, AFAIK relatively new for F3.

BTW, it's $775 vs $1250, a much more comfortable price tag for an actual user.
