The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

Carrying the Braces for a week — after initial break-in it feels almost like a Sebenza 21 with a flipper! 🙃

By the way, the previous F95 edition on washers a.k.a. F95 10th Anniversary was announced on 15.10.2020, limited to 100 pcs.

The Braces drop occurred a month before 15th Anniversary and IMHO it's a great tribute to the brand establishment.

The choice of pattern is arguable — personally I'd prefer either a Plain Jane or an old-school Turtle, but otherwise it's a real workhorse for a justifiable price, easy to maintain and pleasant to use.

I’ve carried this F95R NL with Jungle Wear for a little bit now, very solid knife with a swedged 4mm blade and the inlays on these are “stepped” which gives it a nice feel. This might be the knife I carry in my pocket this hunting season!

Hopefully this CCKS-Exclusive Sinkevich Touch is not the only premium version of Q95 we are going to see.

Especially eager to snatch a "3M" version with Alutex and S90V. 🙃

P.S. The "weaved" carbon texture seems more appealing, than marble and chaotic TechnoCarbo.

Q95 "Klinok Edition" 2025 looks nice, not sure if 24% price increase is justified by Alutex upgrade and SE bead.

BTW, "Клинок" /klɪˈnɒk/ = "Blade". It's the oldest blade show in Moscow, less poncy than Arsenal or OREL EXPO.

Every Shiro I have in Elmax has been excellent, I think they do a great job with this steel.

According to the recent update they heat treat Elmax to the same 61-62 HRC as M390, not bad at all. AFAIK Cultrotech might be the only production company claiming higher range for Elmax (63-64 HRC).

Mcshank Mcshank , nice to see you over here at the Den, my friend. Sweet new F3 in what appears to be Alutex there.

Jsega51 Jsega51 , I've yet to find a steel those I've had, have, or used that Shiro hasn't done a great job on including S30V, Elmax, M390, Vanax37, or even 440C. Mcshank will remember that last one.
