robertlupus84 robertlupus84 i love the Hati line of knives and I really love how they do the reverse style here from the standard “NL” versions of the F95. I hope they do this style as a production run at some point, the synthetic scale and Ti inlay looks awesome.
 
Mr.sig239 Mr.sig239 , does that "Braces" above have the same milling pattern as your blue F95 which we've seen called the "Paperclip" version? I searched your posts here, but unfortunately too many of your pics are gone.

Yeah, that's the same pattern for sure, my friend. Interestingly, just now going to the Shiro website News page I see the knife in question listed as Paper Clips (Braces) which is the first I can recall any "official" naming of it as such. I've always liked your knife and have had a friendly envy of it, though I'm also quite content with my similar F95R, which I've seen referred to somewhat ambiguously as a Nudist. I think of mine sometimes as the F95 version of of the original NeOn as their milling patterns are somewhat alike and my two knives share the same double, flapped pouch in repose.

I jumped on one due to the steel,full flat grind, satin accents of most of all the washers! The F95 is the clear leader of my Shiro collection so I’m looking forward to feeling this one in hand. I’m not crazy about the “braces” or “paper clip” design but I don’t hate it, I do like that its a nod to the past and I also like the 4mm blade thickness.

Pretty much everything you stated for me too. I’m looking forward to carrying it. The breakdown for sure.IMG_0934.jpeg

This one was gone in a couple of minutes on our side of the pond. Anybody noticed how long was it available on the US dealer's web-site?

I never liked the pattern, but it would be really interesting to handle a modern F95 on washers.

They dropped for sale here on R1 at about 2:00pm yesterday and there were still some available around 9:30pm when I had last checked, no clue how many R1 sold or what time they finally sold the last one at but I figured they’d go quicker than they did due to the options this knife has and the pretty limited number.

Been looking closely at a Q95 ursus but I keep going back and forth on the color of the Micarta which looks very faded at times and intensely colored in other images. Yours looks light gray. Have you oiled your Q95 at any time to make the color more intense? Do you like the pale gray appearance? Thanks for your feedback!
