I was clicking around looking for something else & came across an unidentifiable folder on Guns.ru.

I've never seen this folder before but I'm very interested in finding one. The lock & the look of the G10 made me think maybe it was an Enlan or whatever with the knockoff Axis lock. My google-fu skills weren't enough to run this one down. Can anyone shed a bit of light on this?

about $230. Blade length little over 4". Thickness 4mm. Steel Х12МФ. Hardness of the blade at spine Rc 54-56, at the edge 59/60. Edge angle 13 degrees. Weight 137 g. Ti liners.
 
I think it is funny when one guy accuses a knife of being a knock off copy of two different well known company's products at the same time. Doesn't that imply that BM copies Spyderco or vice versa?

@ aka_OPK: nice knife.

Yes, there are many who would say that. The Benchmade AFCK was based on the Spyderco Police, and intended as a similar knife in G-10 (this was before the Military was released). Spyderco sued Benchmade over their use of the opening hole, and something happened that we don't know the details of, leading to today where the two companies have "come to an understanding."

Well done, Bladeforums! I posted a question on a knife on a foreign forum, went to bed, & woke up to the owner of the knife providing me a link. Thanks, Aka_OPK. The Benchmade AFCK & Spyderco Police 3 are two of my very favorite folders so this one looks right up my alley. I wish we saw more Russian cutlery around here.

In my opinion it's a great knife, but 4 mm thickness is too much for me. I want to try to ask to make me a blade 2,5 mm thick.

Selling yours? Will they thin the blade for you? I saw something on that page about them being willing to customize their knives but I'm not sure what all that means
From the site: "If some elements of the product you are not satisfied - please go to the site workshop Cheburkova A. There you can order the production of a knife or any other products to your individual specifications."
