The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

The Astrum is my favorite regular production Shiro! They nailed the action even better than normal, to the extent that's even possible, on my first production model.

Yeah it’s pretty amazing. My only feeling is that the detent is a bit light, but that is just a preference. Its definitely a keeper and in my pocket right now.

Thank you for the compliment. I have one more Shiro coming to fill up that top row. My OCD would not let me leave it open. My goal is to now move on to grabbing collabs and CDs. I also need an F3 to complete my production lineup.

I went through all the small batch makers like Brown Knives, eutsler, machinewise, hog house, Robjohnsons, and realized for me it’s Shiros, Koenig and CRKs. It’s like the Cold War in my knife box.

yeah I'm off the same mind, while i can appreciate the brown, eutsler, machinewise, rob johnson etc etc, they don't tickle my fancy like shiro, koenig, and crk. and i would add hinderer to my list of preferences too, if we're talking high end production/mid-techs whatever you want to call them.

i would like to experience a machinewise some day, they appeal to me more than the others in that basket basket of makers, for whatever reason.

I dont know a whole lot about shiro collab models since they are so far out of my price range, but i really like the RMJ's i've seen, and my all time favorite is the Russian Hokkaido

I found the exact opposite with mine. The detent was so stiff at first I almost gave up on it after the first few days. But I kept working it and now it’s dead nuts perfect. One of (if not the) the snappiest knives in my collection. . .

Hey guys, I’ve been cheating on my Shiro’s for the past few weeks, I love CRK as well. 🍻


I need an F95 tanto bad if Shiro ever releases one!

Just got word that my Sebenza is coming back to me from the spa with a brand new blade and glass blast finish. Wonderful service from those guys. Both great yet completely different brands, but I think if you like one, you’ll definitely appreciate the other.

Mine is snappy, it won’t really fail to deploy, but I get the bounce back when closing too fast/hard. First world problems. lol.

Russian Hokkaido collab is a pretty tanto :p im bias though, I like that knife alot. I like tanto's in general, if I ever got a zaan it would be a hard choice between the drop point and tanto. i think both blades are really good looking. speaking of crk tanto's

I love the collabs. Trick is to get them in the recon1 lottery so they aren’t unobtainium. For me the Sinkevich collabs are my favorite. I sold a Bio Dark that I absolutely love and miss. If you haven’t seen one, take a look. It is stunning.

the bio dark is wicked, very clean and almost subtle. i only recently started paying closer attention to recon1, i definitely plan to enter some lotteries in the future. theres a really cool f3 thats going to lottery soon, just not in the cards financially for me right now. they also have a good pre-owned department

Recon1 is very good to work with and they have the best stuff.
