Vladimir_k, thumbs up!

I just finished a purchase with Vlad for a Shirogorov Neon M390. What can I say about him? He seems to be a great guy. His customer service is second to none. He responded very quickly to all my emails and shipped my knife as soon as payment went through. I haven't received the knife as of yet seeing as it was just shipped but will post an update once it arrives! If all is well as I know it will be judging from all the raving reviews on BF, I will be purchasing many more Shiros from him in the near future. Vlad is the man!! Don't hesitate to order from him!

Received an authentic Shirogorov Neon in M390 from Vlad yesterday. Great communication, fast shipping, perfectly packaged and brand new in box, just as described.

It's kinda scary handing over hundreds of dollars to a stranger overseas, but you have no need to worry when dealing with Vlad. He's an awesome guy. Will definitely be doing business with him again.
 
I also just got my Shirogorov Neon Lite M390 from Vlad yesterday. Wow!!!! What an amazing knife! Smoothest knife I've ever flipped! Vlad is an awesome guy and I will be buying many more from him now! It arrived quickly, perfectly packaged and hassle free. Don't hesitate to buy from Vlad if you want a Shiro!
 
Just received my neon from vlad. This time it took 7 days to arrive. This guy is legit and honest. Don't hesitate to do business with vlad.
 
This was my second transaction with Vlad and it was once again an absolute pleasure. He not only found me the knife I was looking for but held it for a week so I could muster the funds. Shipping was also very quick through EMS international express. The knife arrived in 7 days and was packed extremely well. I would not hesitate to recommend Vlad for anyone interested in acquiring a Shirogorov.

Had my first transaction with Vlad and it went very well...he is a great asset and reliable. Thanks Vlad!
 
Note: I had forgotten there was this feedback thread for Vlad, so I just started another Here in the GBU. I closed it and asked the mods to delete, so all Vlad's great feedback could be here in one place. The text of that other thread's OP is below:

Back around the middle of October I posted "I'll take it" in Vladimir_K's sales thread for a Shirogorov Neon. Unfortunately, the knife had just been sold by PM and Vlad messaged me straight away with his apologies. What ensued was a fair amount of back-and-forth as I related that I was really looking for a 95T in M390 anyway. Vlad and I discussed other steels for that knife as well and I decided on Elmax for easier sharpening and to save some bucks.

After a week or so of fruitless looking for this discontinued knife in my "lesser" steel of choice, Vlad was able to find me a very nice deal on a 95T in M390 and we agreed on a purchase. It took him a few days to get the knife in, but immediately upon receipt he sent me pics, packaged the "camping tool" extremely thoroughly and discretely in a rather large box, and sent it on its way Stateside from Mother Russia by EMS. I was amazed at how quickly it moved even through the Russian Post, cleared customs on both sides of the pond, and found its way quickly up to New England from its landing on Long Island.

The knife, of course, is brand new and gorgeous--just a perfect specimen. Vladimir_K was himself a perfect gentleman to deal with and is indeed the Go-To Guy for Shirogorov knives from Russia. He's a registered dealer here on BF, comes highly recommended by many, plays by the rules, and does business the right way. Thanks Vlad!!

Just received a F95 from Vladimir_K, it took 7 days for it to ship from Russia to South Louisiana. Vlad answered the questions I had, great guy to deal with.
 
Just like everyone else in this thread my experience with Vladimir_K was absolutely perfect and flawless in every way.
 
Vladimir_k has been a terrific dealer to work with. The communication has been outstanding, packaging is very secure, and knives were exactly as described. I have no hesitation to do continued business with Vlad.
 
Just received my 1st blade from Vladimir_k. Would not hesitate to buy from again.
Super fast overseas shipping!
 
I've done a couple large deals with Vladimir_k. His response time for emails is excellent. More than I could expect from any dealer, anywhere. Vlad also does an excellent job seeking out specific requests. He has handled every normal and obscure question thrown his way. Once items are ready to be shipped, the packaging is outstanding and Vlad supplies several pictures of the entire process. As risky as someone might find overseas transactions, Vlad goes out of his way to put you at ease and generate confidence during the whole transaction. Again, more thumbs up for Vlad!
 
I just received my second knife from Vladimir_K and the transaction went as smooth as the beautiful F95R I ordered. It arrived in just 7 days and I couldn't be more satisfied!!
 
Thanks Vlad for the excellent service and fast shipping. I'm thrilled with my carbon Dr Death. I know you told me 7 - 10 day delivery, but I would have bet you 2 weeks at least to Canada....through customs in 10 days, not likely. But here it is in my hands exactly 7 days after you mailed it. I'm amazed.
 
Perfect Dealer! Great communication, fast shipping. Excellent transaction, thank You!
 
I just received the NeOn Lite M390 that I ordered from Vlad and it is in perfect condition. Great communication and shipped fast. A+++ transaction, thanks Vlad!
