Well, I guess this thread is getting to me...

I had never owned any Russian knives and now I somehow have 5.

One of them is a Russkiy with "antique carbon fiber" (which is actually burlap or kevlar or something with copper thread in it). Very nice, very well made. I normally stay far away from this blade shape and I still love it. I'd be open to more Cheburkovs but I have a "no all Ti handle" rule now and so I am limited in choices. Raven next.

(Others are 2 CKF FIF23s and a Veksha and Makosha)

In the woodshop today with my Scout.

Something inbound, brother?

Something inbound, brother?

Once I get one of mine sold that I have listed. All three are keepers, but the Cheburkov I am buying really speaks to me.

Very nice, my friend, very nice indeed.

For my part, I had the Voron with me around the house and shop. Unbelievable cutter that just flew through a couple heavy cardboard boxes today.

I take it you saw the object of my affection?

I did, but I don't want to rain on your parade. Looking forward to your pics and your impressions.

I don't know how to confirm, but Dr. Frunkey said it is a custom, not that it matters - I love the way it looks on my monitor and am stoked to get it in hand.

I watched Frunkey's vid. His lighting doesn't bring out the blade steel pattern as nicely as your seller's did, but he took his pics down. I don't quite understand why guys systematically deconstruct their sales threads as knives get sold off. I'm sure we'll have some sweet one's of yours to check out soon enough, though.

It is here... oh WOW!!

You know what they say . . . pics or it didn't happen.

He's probably just waiting to stop drooling before he snaps and posts.

I don't even know which Cheburkov in particular we're talking about, or who doctor funky is or whatever, but with a reaction like "oh WOW!!" I want to see the source.

At work and trying not to get fired, but here is a few quickies:

 

[evilgreg]

Keep doing the not getting fired thing, but thanks for the pics. That's a very good looking knife.

That's really sweet, Officer's Match . Love the teardrop reflection off the tip of the timascus backspacer in pic 3. For having both Timascus and Damascus your Scout still has an understated beauty. That's a great acquisition and a very good deal too.

Thanks brother, I am frankly in awe of this thing in hand. It is going to take a bit of time for me to put into words the feel, both shape and the action. I already know I have a new favorite. My son couldn't get over the taper of the tip - it is incredible.

I love how the blade's pattern can almost "ghost" away depending on the light/angle:
