Is there a group like AA for shiros? Asking for a friend.View attachment 1563939

Yeah there is. It's a 12-step program, just like AA. Step One is to give away all your Shiro's. I'll forward you an address for that handsome red Hati.

I was afraid it was something drastic like that. Is there an easier, softer way?

You could keep the knives, give away all your money, and max out all your credit cards. Actually, it seems you're on that path already, so just keep it up.

Paypal credit is both fantastic and evil. I'm the type that turns over his collection often enough that I've never paid a dime in interest - only made tough choices.

Yes. It's an f95R19 I got new. Great size and action is fast and smooth.

The Shiro I didn't know I wanted until I started learning more about it.

It's pretty badass man. Love the blade and ergos. I'd like to adjust the pivot on this one but I can't seem to get enough purchase on the back half of the pivot to keep it from spinning.

Gotta melt the thread locker to loosen that pivot. Usually a good hair dryer on high will do it, but I had to use a heat gun get my Biryukov #10 to come loose. The previous owner of my RDD, CPP , put that knife on his glass-top electric range to get the pivot backed-out. I haven't LocTited any of my free-spinning Russian knives that I've had apart, nor most any knife I own, when re-assembling. I'd much rather make an occasional adjustment than fight with thread-locker.

I have a heat gun and that was my next step. I'd like to slow the action down just a hair if possible.

30 seconds with the heat gun was all she took. Cleaned the gunk out of the threads and tightened her down just a liiitttllle more. still falls shut but with a bit more control now.

UGH.... The pivot has already loosened up on the Kami Anyone have a lead on a Shiro / Sinkevich specific tool?

First post here, hopefully I’ll have time to post more often.

This collaboration is perfection in my book! Absolutely everything is on point. Only minor complaint is I had to use a little blue loctite on the body screws to keep them from backing out but no biggie. Carries well for it’s size.
