Sorry but why I see shiros only with the COA and the papers that have the spec in Russian letters and others with only the COA

The older ones have the Russian spec sheet, I guess because they weren’t popular when they first started showing up here in the U.S.
IMO, to accommodate the popularity in the U.S., they started using different spec information. I’ve got one with the Russian paper and a COA, the others I have are just the COA

I may be wrong, but IIRC the COA card in English was made for a certain american authorized dealer.

ChazzyP ChazzyP would most likely be able to answer this question.

I was under the impression that the Russian spec sheet was actually akin to a customs document, indicating that the knife was NOT a weapon. I could be wrong though.

dburpasaurus is correct, the trifolded document in blue print that is included with Shirogorovs found in Russia is a customs document specifying that the knife is not a "cold steel weapon" or something to that extent. It is not a Certificate of Authenticity.

Newer knives from Russia and especially knives for the US market come with a certificate. Custom Division knives also come with one in English regardless if sold at a Russian or American show.

Additionally, a good reminder to dispel the rumor that Shirogorov will not service your knife without a CoA. Instead it is just up to you to find the knife to the workshop in Russia (shipping cost, liability if lost in transport etc.) If the knife has a CoA, you may instead contact Recon1 and they will arrange the knife to go back to Russia for free and any costs covered under the warranty will be free. Without a CoA any costs (refinishing, disassembly/reassembly, new hardware etc.) will require a small fee.

With or without a CoA, the workshop will ensure the knife returns to its owners safely.

In one word with out the COA you are on your own and need to shipped directly to Russia And hope nothing happens the COA is very important almost equally that the knife

Sure, but Recon1 is shipping your knife to Russia just like you'd be doing yourself. They are no less likely to lose your knife in transit than you are.

Or just attend (or mail your knife to someone who will attend) the 2-3 shows per year that Shirogorov attends and hand the knife directly. Saves on shipping cost and time. This is what I do.

After owning an F3 for a couple years now I have turned my attention to the smaller Shiros. I've begun to focus on the different blade shapes and have decided I prefer the top one. Which exact model is it, please? And is it still available or has it been discontinued? The bottom one appears to be similar to the Neon Retro offered by Recon 1. Is that right?

Thanks.

That model is the NeOn Lite and is discontinued with the new NeOn Zero (the non-limited version of the Retro without the milling on the handles)

They are still available on the secondary market for good prices but yes, no more new ones will be made.
