The lock bar on my 95 actually did walk over relatively prematurely. Lock up was about 25% when new, but now it’s at about 60. Not a big deal on most knives, but the raised portion of the lock bar is now right up against the tang, so it’s technically maxed out since it can’t go any further. I didn’t really think too much about it, but then I never noticed the lock face was being utilized in that manner until it was pointed out here. It’s pretty much getting double the wear compared to those of other knives, since it’s being used in both open and closed positions.
Hey Jim, been watching your videos for a while now and you definitely inspired me to acquire multiple knives. Newest arrival to come ext week: Shirogorov Model 95 with the blue anodized titanium scales and textured carbon fiber inlays, with the s90v blade steel...amazing! Thanks for inspiring my knife collecting. Always enjoy viewing your videos and collecting preferences.
I love the slotted scews on Shirogorov's! I never thought I'd believe a slotted screw could look attractive as knife hardware til I saw them. Nicr video as always!
I got a hati on washers, traded an f3 into a hation into the hati and the hati on washers with a pivot bushing is one of the most amazing knives I’ve ever had. So good I even like the g10 scale
Damn Jim, another beautiful knife added to your already incredible collection. Thanks for the awesome content. It was nice to get back from Pacific Rim and see you had uploaded a video!
I love the Model 95. I can't wait to start saving for one, if that ever happens. I wish they would possibly make another Ti one with a different handle pattern; the one on the 95 is a little too random for me on such a simple knife.
I wouldn't worry about he stop pin engaging the lock when you close it. I have an 0560 that I slam closed all the time because it is so smooth and has such a heavy blade, and after countless thousands of times flipping it there is barely a mark. I know it is different brands and different knives but steel on steel for that application will have close to zero wear.
I bought my Hati from TNK around 13 months ago. It has the press fit insert. I figured that the newer ones were coming with the screwed in version. Not sure though! Good words on all points amigo. Mine is an incredible thing! Honestly, with the quality of mine at least, you'd think that folks could easily buy them from TNK and double their money on the 2ndary market. Stranger things have happened!
Just too different to compare. I like the Shiros for a slim, light and super easy carry. When I'm in that mood, the Moons don;t compete with them for pocket time because they are a different feel and carry.
From looking at this guys knife videos and seeing the amount of high end ultra quality knives he has, I have concluded that he is in fact a billionaire. Lol
Hey Jim, Do you happen to know whats up with some of the 95 t's having the pivot screw you have with the flat blade slot and some having the logo? Is the logo just a cover that you put over your style pivot? And how do you feel about shiro's elmax vs s30v? Looking at getting a 95 t but i really like the slotted pivot screw which seems harder to find. Thanks
Got sick of that "dealer" too and ended up buying a brous reloader, brous silent soldier framelock, ZT 0801 and field grade bodega. Check out my instagram for pics next week
I'm a "poe moe foe" so could'nt afford a 700.00 knife, but i couldnt help but see the shape of my Boker Plus Titan 'titanium'......so i took mine out and fondled it for a while imaging it was a Shirogorov..:) ah the little things.

Shiros have been one of my grails for a long time but just haven't had a chance to purchase one. Hopefully that time will come. Thx for sharing!

There is actually one that sold a while back on Arizona Custom Knives that has the polished highs like you mentioned doing... Doesnt look so hot imo.

Great vid Jim! Out of curiosity, do you think the quality of your knives match the quality of the watches you take pictures of them with?
Hey Jim! Love your videos man. Can you provide an update on the wear of the lockbar insert / lock face after a couple years? Thanks!
Can't wait to see your pics!
do a updated video of the R versions

Did you ever do your 5000 subscriber giveaway ??? Love your videos and knives.
Hey Jim, any noticeable wear on the lockbar interface after a couple years? I just picked one of these up for $450, and I can't wait to get it!
Man that Ti looks amazing wish I could afford one. Well once I can I know what I'm going for.

Oh man these are so beautiful.
If you had to have one or the other what would you pick, shirogorov 95 or will moon mk6?
That's awesome!!! I know you'll love it!
Brad told me last week that he would find a way to fit me in this year
Barry is the man
This is the second time in like two weeks you said you were gonna stop buying so many knives, I'm calling BS on it this time!
Well, I finally got all the drool out of my keyboard, thx alot bro.

Man these are so beautiful...need to get one!
Do you know how much the titanium versions usually go for?
Jim,
In your opinion, where is the best place to watch if I wanted to buy some mid-techs?
Thanks,
For Shirogorov specifically? Fromrussiawithknives.com

Hey Jim,

The logo is just a peel off cover

Got sick of that "dealer" too and ended up buying a brous reloader, brous silent soldier framelock, ZT 0801 and field grade bodega. Check out my instagram for pics next week
