The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

[DNAIrradiator]

Whatever the secondary prices are for this one, I'm sure it will be too steep for me to consider. I'm not on FB so I can't speak for the Shiro group there, but I haven't seen any listed up yet here on BF or on eBay. KnifeCenter had some (or one) briefly but even they jacked the price way up compared to the lotto price (kind of lame of them IMHO). Oh well, I'll just keep drooling over the pics posted here in the Den!

EKnives currently has one for $2,950 The lotto price was $1,850. What a mark-up! I hope the true secondary prices aren’t jacked up like this.

The action super is crispy! I love that double click on deployment. And the acoustics are amazing.

I've seen three at least sell pretty much instantly in the FB group for $2,200. And one maybe for more but I'm not sure now. I didn't buy it with the intent to flip it for profit, in fact when I do sell a knife it's usually for what I paid or often less (all too often it seems), but an easy three or four hundred bucks gets tempting sometimes.

Oh, and since you mentioned acoustics, I remembered I didn't actually post the quick video to demonstrate just that characteristic for another forum I frequent.

I told myself I'd get them both and only keep one. I'm not sure I can stick to that, though.

Man that would be a tough choice to make.

 

[ChazzyP]

Boy, we need a bump here. As there really aren't any serial production Shiros available at dealers on this side of the pond, there's not much new for anyone to share. I made a point to carry my F95R today and get some fresh pics to post and maybe wake up some sleepy Bears.

I'll keep at it again today as I pocketed my trusty work user orange Hati on washers. This ones got scuffs and scratches and must have had something of a hard life before it came to me as the fourth or fifth owner, but I brought it around with some tuning and tweaking and it's served me very well.

I haven't posted in here for a while. Still carry one every day but not going anywhere interesting to grab pics. Getting bored with around the house ones!

I really like how they do an inlay on the lock side. I had a HatiOn that had a carbon fiber display side scale and the same lock side scale as the Neon; great knife, but I like this better

I got my top two grail Shiro's from the same seller, at an amazing price. Am I dreaming?

Got another one with micarta inlay on the show and lock side - NeOn NL in Burgundy Micarta and Cromax PM steel. This micarta was already burnished rock hard and smooth, where the OD green micarta on the other one was rough with a fabric-like textur, but started to burnish with carrying it until it became rock hard and smooth.




The R1P doesn't have inlays, but has a very clever engraved design. Hoping for another model with CF inlay soon, I find out this week if available...

Dam! Missed my April anniversary. Started with Shiro's with the Brown 95.
Here's a celebration pic of 16 years here!

Been a fun journey since then.

My first Shiro, Neon Zero (M390). Great thin knife profile, blade grind is spot on, great action, falls closed.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet but R1 dropped the next F3 in the Elementals series today, the F3 Terrus. This is the “Earth” version of this special edition series after the first one released a few months ago, the Aquatic (the water one obviously). I’m guessing “Air” and “Fire” versions should be coming at some point. This one has milled Rare Earth TechnoCarbo scales, bronze anodized pivot collar, clip and backspacer, and a S90V blade running on MRBS with a captured pivot system. Like the Aquatic, this one comes with a matching ano’d bead, this time with more of a mountain theme.

Congrats to anyone that scooped one of these up in the less than one hour they were available this morning. Here are some pics from R1, courtesy and full credit to them. I hope they and BF don’t mind me posting these but they need to be seen by this crew!

I tried for one, and they were gone by then, 34 minutes after I got the email (while I was asleep, having gone to bed at 4AM)

I had the opportunity to buy one, but decided nah. I am good with my OG F3NS black cf.
