Shirogorov 95T Review

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Dan, are you going to have another blade review to post anytime soon. You are a great reviewer, I enjoy hearing your take on all sorts of knives. The Shirogorov reviews you have done have finally got me to the point that I ordered my first Shirogorov, a F3. My budget is pretty tight right now so I had to start there. Thanks. I look forward to seeing more from you soon.

Once I bought my first Shirogorov, a Model 95 Natural with SRBS and Elmax, it was immediately joined by another the next week, this time a 95T with SRBS and S30V. After dozens of midtechs and ZT's and CRK's and Spydercos, I had found my perfect knife. I sold all my ZT's and midtechs. I kept a couple CRK's, because Sebenza's are good for places where a flipper might freak someone out, and... they're awesome knives. But Shirogorovs are the pinnacle, for me. My ideal EDC's and tactical carry's are Mod 95's, F3's, 111's. My grail at the moment, the one custom I want above all others is the Sergey Shirogorov custom Baikal, or failing that, an Icebreaker. The only other knives I'm interested in checking out are Rocksteads, or perhaps a 2.0 Bodega or Glimpse from Todd Begg.

You can order a new shirogorov knife on their site for much less than 750$, but you have to wait a year or so before it is made and sent to you. The price for this model with the same configuration (steel and handle) had been 300$ before it was discontinued. Great review! Thank you very much for the video:)

[@Bladereviews]

+Serguey Gorokhov My pleasure, Serguey. Thank you for watching. Interesting to hear what the cost is direct from the maker. I'd love to pick one of these up for $300.

A great review of a collectible. The question for many is, "Am I a collector?" because using this knife for EDC doesn't make much sense because of its value. I'm sure many admirers would love to own a Shirogorov, but very few would use it, despite its obviously high functionality. Thanks for the overview of the beautiful, now discontinued, 95T.

[@Wood_Slice]

Mitchell Delmar it is not discontinued as of november of 2016

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

You're right - at the time, though, I think they had suspended production. The recent models don't have the satin finish blade unfortunately. It's a grey stonewash.

[@trex8693]

Wondering if you can take it apart and do your own maintenance like Sebenza. BTW, it is just stunningly beautiful! !

[@suavephotography]

i know its been awhile but can you do a review on the browning black label turning point 133bl

[@christinadifrancesco4934]

You said take care at end of video. THEN NO more post. Hope all is well..

[@SneakyCaleb]

I had one and the pivot got jacked up very easy..

[@Bladereviews]

+Caleb Salvadori Sorry to hear that, Caleb.

[@jayunitedwestand1810]

how can you buy them direct?? i was on there site and all in russian and nowhere to purchase?

[@knifenutsdave]

I ashamedly own a Kevin John 95T and it's so well made that it makes me very curious to see what the real thing is like.

[@Bladereviews]

+Misanthropia The real thing is super nice. This is a beautiful knife.

[@aNFeSG]

One of the best folder knife at the world.

[@Bladereviews]

+aNFeSG Thank you for watching.

[@sickjohnson]

Friend has one, very nice, I think they are the ideal size.

[@muffemod]

RIP Dan 2015

[@Laurarium]

oh,really 😥 Would you kindly inform me of the incident ? what happened to him?

[@muffemod]

@@Laurarium He died yo.

[@Laurarium]

@@muffemod what？their official site had always been updating and I didn’t see any information about anyone’s death.

[@ivanovfarit]

Its really hard to get this knife in Russia. After order you will wait it at least one year maybe longer)))

[@Bladereviews]

+ivanovfarit Interesting, Ivan. It's tough to find these here in the States (new at least) although the secondary market is pretty robust.

[@ivanovfarit]

Thank you

[@misterhyde76]

Fucking industrial masterprice

[@Optionsaregood]

Nice.

[@themodernneanderthal2117]

They're extremely nice but I do think they are overpriced. If I were to have a rich uncle leave me his fortune, I'd have no problem buying one again but until that happens.....

[@Bladereviews]

+The Modern Neanderthal Thanks for watching, Nick. Yes they are expensive (and possibly overpriced). I am glad I got to check it out.

[@amosjsoma]

What you have here is a piece of steel for the blade and a few pieces of Tungsten for the handle. $750 for a knife from Commieland? Anyone willing that pay that should call me. I have some second hand Al Gore carbon credits I can give you a hell of a deal on.

[@Bladereviews]

+Amos Soma To each their own. I really enjoyed this knife. It's beautifully made. I do not deny that it is uber expensive.

[@richardc1409]

Who cares where it's made? Quality is quality.

[@carlstanland5333]

Titanium, not tungsten.
