Shiro blade

[ericdraven]

I'm gonna buy a shiro my question is I have alot of knives. In m390. Are shiros going to come out with new. Steel anytime soon? Just got a spydie in cpm 20cv. Any word on new metals. Like I said this new spydie will cut the hair on a fleas ass. I'm not gonna spend big coin on another m390. Any rumors

 

[ericdraven]

And how to get in touch with some dude named Vlad ? someone told me he can import the shiro without the 3 time mark up

 

[unwisefool]

Vlad sounds a bit sketchy

I have no insight on Shiro or Spyderco but models with MagnaCut might be in the future. I know no clue how readily available the new steel is with some supply chain issues going on in the world.

Afaik Shirogorov does never provide info on upcoming batches.

Shiro’s have several offerings in Elmax or Vanax 37 currently.

Böhler M390 is currently offered on the Hation Zero, as well as the Neon Zero and a few F95NL’s.

Vlad is very active on the book of faces Shirogorov for sale page. The prices are not any better or worse then you see here.

Here's my Shirogorov HatiOn Lite in M390 next to a Jens Anso Neo.

And with a Shirogorov F3 in Elmax.

As an aside, the Hation Zero in Böhler M390 is $5.00 more expensive than the F3 in Elmax.

One of our forum sponsors has a Custom Division Shirogorov/Reeve UniHation in S90V….but get ready to unass that wallet hard.

OP, FWIW you mentioned 20CV as if it’s a new steel. Same thing as M390.

20CV is an American-made version of M390, which is mostly made in Europe (not sure if/when the new Bohler factory in China is making M390). Given geography, I think it's likely we'll continue to see Shirogorov primarily use Bohler steels (Elmax, M390, and Vanax are all Bohler-Uddeholm products). Other than some rare/low-production editions in Crucible's S90V and S110V, and an occasional Damasteel blade, everything I've seen has been Bohler.

He's not. Those price expectations are grossly overstated however.

What price expectations?

 

[Mr.sig239]

someone told me he can import the shiro without the 3 time mark up

His prices are normal market cost not 3 or even 2,1 times lower.

What price expectations?

These ones…

Thank you, sometimes I need things explained to me real simple-like, usually with crayon pictures
