, we were back and forth about Alex's CF over at the EDC thread, and I'm just now seeing your Cobra's above which is pretty damn sweet too. As to my "best red" that you mentioned, it's worth noting that my Voron is CTek, not CF.
That CTek makes it even more unique. The Cobra seems to be my favorite at this point in time. I tend to like smaller knives.

Regardless, I do immodestly agree with your assessment, as I truly do love that knife and its showside scale. Your CF Voron is quite the beauty too!
I've always wanted C-Tek handles on a knife. I would love to have green C-Tek on my Spyderco GB1.
I have only seen it offered on Olamic knives before Chazzy's knife.
Yeah, the former member that did the ironwood scales for my Manix 2 also did C-Tek. But he went out of business long ago I believe.

! I notice your lockside scale is milled out at the clip like my Shiro F3 and 111 to help keep the profile down in hand on a thick handled knife. How's yours for pocket insertion? Those two of mine are OK, with the F3 a bit better than the 111--not a problem, but not the best either. 
) as I continue to break in its stiff detent with it getting a bit better each day.
I'm guessing you bought it from Breathtaking Steel. I met the owner at a knife show in August, and he had been considering joining BF, and I convinced him to do it. I bought my Cheburkov Strizh and Biryukov #12 from him.

That’s so cool, one of the first ravens, I would love that on both sidesI just received my third Cheburkov knife the other day, custom ordered from Alex and the Workshop for its blade finish. It's an absolutely gorgeous example of his Raven (Voron) with a fine stonewash on its 110 mm M390 blade, is an open back construction frame lock with steel insert, and has a beautiful red CTek scale applied to the presentation side. It's my first custom order and one of the most beautiful, elegant, and well-made knives I've acquired so far.
I came to Cheburkov knives through mention and postings from a member here that I had done some business with a few years ago. As a Russian maker, Workshop Cherburkova will inevitably be compared with another well-known producer, but I thought I'd start a new thread for Alexander's work as it is excellent, there is great variety amongst his offerings, their pricing represents great value, and his knives certainly deserve recognition and discussion on their own merit.
I'll post some pics of my new Raven here to start, but kindly let us see your Cheburkovs and share your thoughts or questions regarding these fine knives.
