That pivot finishing is rough, even for EC. The hardware depths look all over the place too. Perfect example of "the more you spend, the less you get"
@CNYKnifeNut2 ай бұрын
As a machinist and Shiro fan, i think a lot of their work is praised as being amazing when really its "just" on the lowest end of great, but this one looks pretty impressive. The clearances between the blade and backspacer are basically porn, to me.
@symbolicthings2 ай бұрын
That exact detail continues to blow my mind every time. (I spent almost a decade working as a precision machinist as well.) The Shirogorov brilliance (and rep) truly shines through on these Custom Division models. You should see this one's CF 'twin,' the Stellaris. It's an even tighter fit than this! I had to use a magnifying glass to assure myself that the blade tip wasn't touching the backspacer!

Can't even use hole to flick?
@symbolicthings4 ай бұрын
You actually can, but I find it a bit too cumbersome to utilize with any regularity. The knife is very small, and the hole is challenging to 'grip' without some practice. That said: it is possible!

Dude, if you dont mind me asking.. where do you work that you can afford all these gorgeous yet exorbitantly expensive knives?
@symbolicthings4 ай бұрын
Believe it or not, I am self-employed. But I don't still own every piece I've ever shared on this channel. Many have been sold in order to fund new acquisitions. That said, THIS one is a for-all-time keeper, as are most of the heavy hitters I've been sharing recently. I used to have a much larger collection. But quality beats quantity all day. I'd rather have one PERFECT piece than 10 "decent" options. That obviously costs. But it is worth it.

Thank you!! So do I. It honestly came as a complete surprise when I first met the piece. Both the pocket clip + the backspacer are "lightly polished," producing a REALLY rich aesthetic impact I can't seem to get enough of even now! I love that you have noticed it as well.
