Thank you for that, I can certainly see how that is one special blade. You have a wonderful collection!Hey BP, the knife is a Cheburkov Limited Edition Scout in Zladinox 1016 stainless Dama from 2016. It's certainly a well traveled piece--I am at least the 5th owner here at BF, having gotten it thru a PM'd transaction from our friend @mb> , who got it on the Exchange from friend and member, @Officer's Match, there being at least two previous BF owners that I can trace it back to. There are quite a few posts of this one by both OM and myself at the Cheburkov Channel here. There's even a Dr Frunkey video of it over at YouTube, the knife having been lent to him for review by one Tony Meador who seems to have a substantial Instagram presence and a lot of knife mentions online.
Anyway, after passing through many hands, I think this beauty has found its home in mine. While it shows a bit of wear, it's still in excellent condition with superb action, dead centering, and a super slicey and thin blade, both stock-wise and behind the edge. It's also light for a full-Ti frame lock at 4.25 oz due to elaborately extensive internal milling. OM had mentioned in one post that it has a certain organic feel to it, and while that may seem contradictory for a cold steel and Ti milled object, it is indeed also both plain and fancy at the same time. Just something special about this one....

You're most welcome, BP, and thanks for the kind words.Thank you for that, I can certainly see how that is one special blade. You have a wonderful collection!
Sold to me, I’ll take this one!You're most welcome, BP, and thanks for the kind words.
Aside from enjoying the knives themselves in use and for what they are, I like finding the stories and provenance behind some of them, which is what can be fun about buying many or most of them here on the Exchange. It's also nice to have other knife knuts to share those with. There certainly was at least one other BF owner beyond the three before me whom I knew or had identified and I just found his sales thread in Custom Knives (Individual) from 2018--clearly recognizable as the same knife. I must have too much spare time....
I need one of these. . .
