I went to the store for Cheburkov's knives. I wanted to buy one of the Swifts in titanium. Well, or Hudson, I really liked the photo.
There was no Hudson, the Leader and Scout were kind of boring. We got to the Swifts.
Big Swift fell off immediately. Firstly, it was only in carbon, and secondly, some kind of strange carbon. Either cracks, or pores on the butt. Well, I didn't like it in my hand.
Small Swifts were in stock, and everything was fine with them. I didn’t like the clip a little, I didn’t want to put it on the thick seam of my trousers pocket, I had to help with my index finger.
And then my friend, the manager of the store, so that the hiccups attacked him, said: "wait, now I will bring something ..."
Well, I brought We Knife Esprit.

The materials are the same. Titanium, bearings, clip in color, accessories anodized in bronze, Elmax on Strizh against CPM-20CV.

The dimensions are the same, only the handle of the Chinese is rounder and more comfortable.

The clip is normal. The Chinese flips better, juicier. The blade is a little wider, but the Chinese is reduced noticeably thinner. Somewhere 0.15-0.2mm.

Well, the difference in price, 140 dollars played an important role.![]()

Yes, that's right. Photo especially for you.Congrats! It is a nice knife. If I remember correctly, the Esprit is a Ray Laconico design. I remember handling one. Great design and ergos. I would expect nothing less from Ray.
Awesome!Waterfall Wednesday

Looks worth it to me! Nice work.The early heat and nicer weather conditions allowed the tomatoes to set roots and grow quickly, . then the heat was turned up and setting fruit stopped. The month of August will determine if it was worth growing them, even though they taste so much better the store bought.
Post needs more DOG!Do not know what to say.
