Wow, so much of discussion in these days here )))
First of all, I consider this forum beyong politics, here we have a great community of knife-makers, knife-users and collectors - shortly, ones who is keen on all that we call a knife, and it is the idea that has gathered us all here. I have my own opinion about politics of course but I'm sure this is not the right place to discuss. Let's respect each other.
Second thing, this Seashell Hati is truly a pearl of my collection, very precisely done in details and accurate in mechanics. I think I won't dare any hard use with it, blessing I got some other Shirogorov knives in simpler manifacture. For example, this Hati I carry 4-5 days per week and it suits me for all city EDC types of job.
And third thing, yes, in Russia it is not a very hard task to get one or two, still some of the knives I waited 6-9 months to be produced. The demand is much higher than the output and some rush still exists, still SBI informed that they enlarged their machinery equipment and it will lead for quicker demand satisfaction, I got no doubt about it. It will also effect the prices and are extremely high in positive way, as much of the prices are overсharged due to lack of offers.
As for the upcoming fairs, I will inquire and let you know soon.
Kind regards,
Dmitry
