Shiro F3 - Carolina Blue Micarta version - finest knife I've ever owned save the F3NS - the NS is a hair smoother but, I still like the latest F3 better!
Benchmade? 🤣 'Something for everyone' makes me think Kershaw. Their recent drop had some nice USA-made offerings. As for the other brand...there's a lot to think of. Strider. Tactile. McNees. Les George. Who can say?! EDIT: adding a few more to the list: TRM, ABW, Koenig, Heretic, Hogue and Buck. Those seem like potential candidates. Haven't tried a Shiro yet. They look awesome. My knife budget hasn't reached Shiro-level yet. As long as my kids are in private schoool...it won't 😆
@@CNYKnifeNut that's definitely not me 😆I have some knives with aftermarket stuff on them (that make them better IMO) but they come that way and well below market value. I'm a smart shopper.
@@chucknunface but I don't want to sell my Benchmades 😆I could definitely buy a Shiro if I sold a few knives, but my collection is curated to exactly what I want, so I think of them all as keepers. But tastes do change so maybe someday....😁
Gorgeous knife
Thanks bro!
That Auto is Awesome ! I am needing that 👍🏻
The Brachial has really grown on me. I like it more than I anticipated. Super hard firing
@@chucknunface Hey brother as soon as I seen it and heard it fire then you confirmed how hard it hit ! I think I gotta give it a go Thanks Chuck 👍🏻
@@craigm2484 right on
Shiros hold a special place in my collection - don’t think I could decide between the F95 or F3 😂
I can understand lol
I do agree the F3 fills the hand better, nice review btw!
@@TriedandTrueEDC Thank you. Makes such a good user.
Nice brother 🤙
Thanks, man

I have to say the "entry level" shiros appeal to me a bit more
Benchmade? 🤣

Just about all the people I've seen claim to not have Shiro money have a PM2 and/or Bugout that they've put $200+ of tacky aftermarket stuff on.

I like those answers! Stay tuned. Shiro is awesome. Sell a couple benchmades and get you one 🤣
There's truth to that! I have what I have because I sell a lot. My stuff is always changing
