NO TRADES and NO OFFERS please. These Shiros are priced very fairly if you know their market. Prices are all inclusive of all fees (G&S) and shipping in the U.S. These are also listed elsewhere.
1- Shirogorov F95T. This is the revised edition (2018?) sought after Turtle pattern with MRBS and M390 steel: Withdrawn. This F95T comes with its Shiro box, COA and the black Shiro bear logo cloth. In excellent "used" but never abused condition!
I am the 2nd owner and have owned it for over 9 months. The original owner is a well-known past Shiro collector on here and a trusted Forum friend. The knife was a safe-queen while in the possession of its first owner. When I received the knife, being one of my first ever Shiros back then, I was not happy with the Shiro factory edge which I found to be too narrow for my liking plus I could see a burr at the tip area (I'm quite anal and have also detected this issue with this pattern in many other photos I have seen with this revised model!). The knife was sent to Josh at R.E.K to pout a mean and no nonsense edge on it using his W.E. System up to 600 grit. The edge is now very keen and scary sharp! It was re-profiled to 17* per side with a 20* per side micro-bevel for easy maintenance on Spyderco Sharpmaker.
While in my ownership, this F95T has been pocketed, carried, ECD'd, fondled and enjoyed. It has also cut a few taped boxes and has opened some envelops. Other than that it has purely been a fidget, fondle and flipping toy in my EDC bevy! The detent is strong and the flipping open action is snappy. There is no blade play whatsoever in any direction. The blade is perfectly centered when eyeballing it and it falls under its own weight when the lockbar is disengaged; the blade falls shut into the frame with a gentle shake but you can tune this to whatever that suits you by adjusting the pivot hardware. Lock up is Shiro solid and it's early like all legit and untampered Shrios.
The knife has never been dissembled but it has always been kept meticulously clean by using isopropyl alcohol, soft cloth, Q-Tips and compressed gas-duster, so the mechanism does not get clogged up by pocket lint, dirt, dust, etc. Some faint snail trails and marks from pocket will exist but the blade itself has no scratch marks!
