What a beautiful knifeThe knife is a Cheburkov Leader Lightweight, made in Pavlovo, Russia. It's a really interesting piece with the unusual, though not unique, feature of being a linerless liner-lock, with the handle supported only by its two very nice CF slabs and the lock-bar retained by two screws into its threaded holes with their exterior heads obscured beneath the clip. That bar also had a corner tucked under the original back-spacer, but I followed the lead of our friend @Wasatch11253 and removed it as its back through-pin, anchored by an opposite side screw attaching the clip, is shouldered and holds the everything together and properly spaced there. That removal reduced the weight of this already light, full 4"-bladed knife to a ridiculous 3.25 oz.
This one is definitely one of my very favorite knives and you've just gotten me to carry it again today.

Thanks so much. Of course the compliment for the knife should be re-directed to Alexandr Cheburkov, his wife Marina, and their staff of craftsmen at Мастерская Чебуркова as I'm just a guy that was able to buy one.What a beautiful knife
Boy i havent seen one of those in years: thats when AUS10 was rare and exotic !This Junglee Marxhall called out to me this morning. I took it out for a spin.
AUS 10, made in Seki.
48 years on this Earth for me today. My eldest kiddo offered to take us out to supper, but instead I opted to just have her get some things for me to throw on the grill for us all. She came through with some nice steaks and a few Sockeye filets for some surf&turf. She also brought a watermelon with a request that I make some agua fresca, to which I'm gonna add some of our own blueberries since they are plentiful in the garden at the moment. So I'll just be chillin' around the pad with the family, listening to tunes, and making that today.
Carrying a favorite for the morning, along with wearing a birth-year timex that seemed fitting for the day. I may switch it up at some point, and I hope to get some pics up from the past few days as well, as it's been a fun weekend
This guy gets it![]()
