EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

M maxjeg , you had asked and I forgot to include in my previous response that my Cheburkov Snatch/Scout hybrid is...

You'll notice in the pic above the evidence of the black, gunky lube that seems to be in all or most of the many Russian knives that have come my way. I'd love to clean it out of there and am curious as to whether this one's blade rides on ball bearings or washers. I rather suspect it's bearings recessed into the liners as there seems to be no space between liners and blade for washers. I'm a little reluctant to disassemble as sliding bar locks are generally a PIA to take apart and put back together. I've had luck over the years with my Benchmades just pulling the blade and washers out the front, much like a CRK, but this knife's configuration is a bit of a mystery and it's functioning well at this point. I'm still full of cat-killing curiosity, though...

Here are pics of the four-panel laminated card that came with this Exchange purchase.

I had trouble focusing well enough to get the finer print on the other side readable, but you'll notice the knife pic has the same handle shape as the Snatch pic you sent. My experience with a goodly number of these Russian customs certifications is that the knife pics are somewhat generic, that is of the model and not the individual knife. I've wondered since your previous message, if the knife I have was indeed a custom/special order or if it's one half of a blade swap by a previous owner.

Thank you.
I am not sure that the blades can be replaced without the help of a workshop. The photos of the documents do not indicate washers or bearings. But it is written that if you disassemble the knife yourself, then all warranty obligations are automatically canceled. :)
And the dates of registration and document numbers are also indicated. And judging by them, the page with the photo of the knife was forged in the workshop. Most likely, the page with the Scout knife was scanned, and a photo and name of another knife were inserted. :) However, this is not the first time with Cheburkov's workshop...
