It's a knockoff Shirogorov. It's a Shirogoroff.
😏
Shirogauxroff
Just get a real one says the guy who was gifted one lol
I mean, if you have the money 🤣 which I don't.
Most don't hence I got plenty of knock offs that some blade makers take alot of pride in reproducing these super over priced knives. But the name sells I guess. All my fixed blades are legit so the collection is alot smaller. I think they're all legit.😕 Everyone is off shore or ........why am I paying $800 for a folding knife?? It's ridiculous unless you're stupid rich.
2:18 the Neon series! Pretty much the same size and similar feel (but much more refined of course) to the Ferrum Forge Stinger.
No if you want to take one of the sand bags you can put fabric then sand in bottom with soil on top around plant just split between the three
This intro theme music has crawled into my subconscious as an indicator , reminding me of something sweet, that I'm getting my endorphin dose, for that moment, at least. It's so good that I envision a mullet and a mustache. Did you write it?
There are double row bearings and TC 4 titanium
Its not a conspiracy, its real 😅. Green thorn is done by Kevin John who OEMs for CKF and makes most of the modern CKF Knives. So they dont use "cheaply sourced carbon fiber" or "cheaply sourced Titanium" compared to shirogorov. You just made that up with no evidence.
Not defending clones as a concept, but there were a few things I thought should be cleared up.
i had heard this. wasnt aware it was confirmed 🤣 Friggin knife illuminati confirmed.i still stand by the fact that green thoen makes really good knives, i just wish they didn't steal designs.
@@TristateEDC Agreed.
To be fair (and pedantic) “cheaply sourced carbon fiber” doesn’t mean “cheap carbon fiber” it means “carbon fiber acquired for cheap.” Perhaps worth noting; perhaps not.
@@TristateEDC I get that and I know you have to say what you have to say if you ever want to get a free Knife again to review, but people have been stealing designs for as long as there's been Commerce. Hell, Steve Jobs even admitted to stealing the idea of the iPhone and iPod. As long as they don't put the brand logo on the knife it's a copy not a clone. You go into any Walmart Lowe's or Home Depot and they have their own brands that are identical. Harbor Freight's whole business model is based off it. You can say what you want and you won't admit to it everybody saw the look on your face when you were flipping those knives
These are great, honestly. The fit and finish on the m390 models are several grades above the k110/vg10 budget offerings. Say what you’d like about the clone world but Green Thorn, Vespa put out quality.
Shiro Ultra Lite is their small model with 3.25 inch blade and very thin handle that is majorly milled out to make it really light weight
Another entertaining video, thanks!
Great video, I got the new gen 5 f95nl and I knew about these clones but never seen em
It’s apparent that you never handled a new shiro. It’s gritty as well. At least for the ‘cheap’ ones.
Correct. The old one I have is silky smooth
I can hear the difference, AND I don't even own one.😮
Sound Test Framelock vs Linerlock 😉
Luuuuuuv the shirt. I’m in Clifton. Where you at?
Great video BTW.
Agree with the assessment. I still can't justify the price for a Shiro though. I did own one for a short time but moved it along. I'd rather have a Herman for that kinda money 🤷♂️
blasphemy, thanks Kole 😎
Unsure-a-gorov?
🤣
F3 Custom Division...Identical in every way except for having no labeling...they are multi rows lol...you are comparing 2 different models btw
Can you test it? Through the ringer?
I'd love to do a stress test, but they were on loan from a viewer.
@@TristateEDC ahhh pretty cool knives ngl
Shiro neon series is their reasonably sized knife
I don't like clones. FYI, Shiro does make some smaller models. The Neon has about 3.25" blade and the Stellar is about 3.5".
Get those fakes away from my baby! 😂
🤣
at least those aren't counterfeit Shiro's
clone is different than a counterfeit .
clone = a direct copy of branded knife with no visible differences with no branding ( legal in most cases )
counterfeit = a direct copy of a branded knife with no visible differences and full branding usually even comes with a convincing box. ( highly illegal )
a inspired by knife will look like a branded knife but have obvious differences when set next to the branded knife. ( legal )
As we are dead in the middle of the golden era of knives I would imagine it is pretty difficult for a new knife company or maker to make a design that isnt in part or completely taken from a knife they saw or wanted so badly as a child or some such thing that being said I find myself being much more lenient to cloning and inspired by knives , the counterfeiters can smoke a flaming turd in hell.
Argh my eyes burn
Thanks Kole!... No Clone Zone 🛑
Green thorns do have mrbs
then even more proof, they need to start taking oem work. asap
@TristateEDC agreed never understood why they don't do more of their own designs
I dont condone it either BUT I dont really see this hurting shiro to bad. The knockoffs are catering to a completely different bracket of customers. Anyone with the cash to buy an authentic one is going to buy one. If i had the money i would DEFINITELY buy one. And as far as copyright infringement goes, because it's lacking the full flat grind and the clip is slightly different, i think they get away with it. Im pretty sure, at least in America, so long as a product is at least 10% different than the original. It's considered an "original". I could be wrong about that and that law wouldn't apply to China anyway (not in any meaningful way) Just my 2¢
why the pearl clutching with fake Russian knives?
felt cute
@@TristateEDC fair enough 😂
In general not a fan of clones. For multiple reasons but especially because it's lazy and the materials used are usually really subpar.
I dont like clones that look like the original. Im fine with green thorn because they have their own brand, and the knives they replicate cost multiple hundreds to thousands of dollars
I hate fake shiro's. *
*Because shirogorov makes some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, I absolutely can not afford them, but i could affotd a fake. Even though I know it isn't even close, and I hate the very idea, the beautiful shiro temptations call to me from china
Yay, Paul will finally stop bitching.
i feel like clones arent the best thing but at the same time im so down with russian companies being cloned especially if its incredibly overpriced i dont mind that at all id love a cheburkov and several other russian makers honestly but i refuse to support russian companies in any way idk how its even legal to sell them in the us
honestly same
for real.
Cuz capitalism
Glad I dont like either.
