@@ThruMyLens100 I have the F3R right now in for a review. I'm so in love!!!! I'm usually a Frame lock guy also. But these liners are nice and thick! Plus you have the bonus of not worrying about putting pressure on the Lockbar.
just picked up a f95nl arctic storm and it is amazing this f3 is my very nexed one.i can remember way back thinking i dont ever want to read or learn about shirogorovs because i dont want to start thinking that i need one of those well here we are only a year and a half and i just got my 7th
Amazing amazing knife.. The blue carbon fiber is striking and I would’ve loved to have gotten this one, but I already owned the original black/gray carbon fiber version
No luck so far. I missed one on bladeforums.com. Recon1 had purple (yuck!) and bronze carbon fiber for sale recently. The bronze is nice though. You snooze, you lose...😂
@@Adamas11 - I recommend you follow Recon 1 on Instagram and set post notifications for them. They normally post on Instagram when they do a drop. That’s how I’ve gotten every knife I’ve ordered from them.
I emailed Recon 1 about availability last week. Tamar emailed me back to call her. She just got the black carbon fiber in and wanted to offer it to me over the phone before listing it on the website. Persistent (and luck) pays off! I received the knife today. Wow, just wow! The marbled carbon fiber handle is amazing! I have a Neon Lite that I purchased pre-owned in April. I love it, but the F3 NS is going to be loved even more :) One thing I noticed is a little lock stick (?) when retracting the blade. Is that normal? Or will it go away after break in?
And they use steel bearings because they said ceramic has no advantage whatsoever and steel on steel is smoother so yea that’s why ceramic is just a gimmick selling point for dummys
I can appreciate your close look at the Shiro’s.. but do you actually use your knives? I’d like to see some cutting tests compared to other knives in this category. After all, they are cutting tools.
As an owner of two shiros and a few other knives the finishes, fitment and action are second to none.
Yes!! I've been waiting for this one!!! Very Beautifully well done!
Thank you sir! Hopefully you get the opportunity to sample one yourself! 👌🏻

@@theknifewhisperer5667 - good point. One of my criticisms of the Hation is how easy it is to put pressure on the lock bar.
@@ThruMyLens100 if you wanna shoot me your info I'll send out that CKF Gavko this coming week.

I’ve had probably 10 in the last year I currently have four.
Beautiful one, but I missed it..those scales are looking great 😍Thanks for the shoutout man!!
Anytime my friend!

Still own it? Like it?
Yes! Love it!
Awesome review and amazing knife JBHII! I am on the lookout for one of these in black/grey carbon fiber.
Thank you and good luck in your search!

@@Adamas11 Mine does not have any stick. 🤷♂️
Is the flipper tab very aggressive like the new Ursa? That tab tore up my finger! Great review! I would love to have a knife just like yours!
I’ve never found the flipper tab to be too aggressive.
The Hati is nice with the MRBS, but, as a guy with giant Polish hands, i may sell it and buy a 111 instead.
BTW it's not a liner lock, its framelock with carbonplate.,
If you would be buying 1 shirogorov. Would you prefer this one F3 or new version of F95?
Tough question. Today I’ll say yes. If you ask me tomorrow I might give you a different answer.
@@ThruMyLens100 yes to which one?
@@denisc.1282 F3 NS
The action on my F3 NS just wasn’t as good as my F95NL so I sold it. But I miss the great feel of this handle. How’s your action?
Keep in mind that I cleaned and lubricated my F3NS. It’s much better than it was out of the box.
@@ThruMyLens100 I did try that, maybe it just needed to be broke in.
yours is ultra saturated with blue resin. Very lucky!

Blue resin.

How about doing the work to do your own videos instead of criticizing the work of others? If you want to see a different video then make it.
I wasn’t criticizing you, it was just a question? Thought some cutting comparisons would be cool. Nice knives you have. Thx for the vids.
