The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

[RBB2]

All I find for USN is the marketplace site. Re-registered, password doesn't work. Typical.
Is there a separate site for USNV2 or is the market one it for now?
There were some good heads over there.
Let's go Sergey!

There is indeed, and it's, wait for it: https://usnv2.net!

That worked! Thanks

USN is back up and running. It appears all the old Shiro info is gone now!!!
This really sucks as the threads their went way back and had lot's of info!

I was under the impression all would be jettisoned, but I am stoked to hear the USN is back!

So I need some advice. I'm trying to acquire a Quantum pivot screw and an F3NS body screw. I contacted Tom at Shiro and he's been taking a LONG time to respond. Sako at Recon1 is fantastic but they don't stock any screws and they can only send the knives back to Russia. Josh at Razor Edge Knives has been instructed by shiro to not sell any more shiro screws, he's only to sell the stock he has right now.

What should I do? At this price point, you'd figure making sure your customers are happy by having the process of acquiring any extra parts be easy, but it's been frustrating.

Sounds like we'll be sending our knives to Moscow for replacement screws from here on. Probably not as tragic as it sounds, spa treatment, real screws put in the real way. I have a Rockstead sharpened in Japan. Takes a month and a half or so, round trip. Naturally USA Customs ties up most of that time. Service work is duty free here, for now.

I was told that until the sanctions are lifted everything has to be hand carried back and forth. This only happens when they come over for a knife show. Until things go back to normal it's going to suck.

New screw came in for the Sigma. Now it is back to perfect!

I just received this F3 Aquatic yesterday, it is a truly phenomenal piece. Incredibly smooth action, super light and obviously stunning to look at.

BTW I don’t know how many folks follow the Shirogorov IG accounts, but he’s posting some really amazing looking pieces for the CCKS including mini Quantums! Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[Mr.sig239]

Spare pick from yesterday.

 

[Mr.sig239]

Spare shot from breakast.

I don't think I'd posted this here yet - saw this in an R1 alert email and the price was surprisingly reasonable so I pulled the trigger.

 

[RBB2]

And next to the "real thing"

Nice snag.

Can do! The scales are outstanding. I've never seen this material in person, it's really cool.

I wish I had been a lucky one as well. I wonder what the secondary market prices will be on these. I want one!

Absolute stunner!
