Haha, I know what you mean! I managed to snag it before it even hit the Exchange. If you get Charles to build you a big one, I'd love to see some pics. :thumbup:

Yessir, no problem! I've already talked to him about it. Now I just need to save up the dinero.

You know it's the M390 ;)
Also have my 95CF in S90V. Don't want to settle for just S30V on a Shirogorov. Just seems a little wrong to me honestly ;)

And the Diskin is one amazing knife I assure you :D
The fact that it's a dual action that you can open manually sells it for me honestly. I love Microtech D/A OTF knives, but I wouldn't want a side-opening auto personally unless it was dual-action.

95CF in S90V, very cool knife. :beguiled: I picked up the 95T in S30V, and I don't mind it at all (huge understatement -- I'm so glad the prices have settled at a reasonable place, for the most part... I couldn't say no to the price); it's preferable to S35VN and CPM 154, and about even or a bit better than CTS-XHP -- IMO, anyway. But as soon as I bought it, not two days later, the M390 version was up for sale. I was definitely a bit disappointed, M390 is great stuff. As soon as the knife arrived, however, it ceased to be an issue.

I've also got a plain 95 in Elmax, which was no compromise at all, for me. Elmax is a steel I like almost as much as M390; when it's done right, with a proper HT and Rockwell up around 61-62, it takes one of the best, keenest edges and holds it very well. I've also found it very easy to sharpen (though I haven't had to sharpen either yet).

I'm still debating what knife to get next in the 600-1100$ range -- Rockstead Higo, Direware, Southard Avo, large Seb 21 with CF inlays & Damascus -- there's so many fine options. But a Shirogorov 111 with M390, carbon fiber, and MRBS is still at the top of the list, I think.

With the Diskin-Fire, I agree completely, the dual-action is a big selling-point... especially in a place where autos are illegal, the ability to use it discretely is important.:thumbup:
