I KNEW IT!!! You were KGB all along!!!

I was impressed with the accent haha

Your Russian accent is better than your normal voice. Your reviews are always interesting.Thanks and keep them coming.

Shirogorov has one of the best maker's marks in the business for sure

The knife is on a bushing imo, as opposed to a washer. Terminology I suppose but I can see why this construction makes for a very smooth knife.

This is the first video I've watched on this channel. That accent totally took me in.

I am known for doings accents among my friends but your Russian just blew me away. I wish you would have done the whole review in Russian. You are definitely multi talented.

The lock stays put for a very long time on the Shirogorovs. Hence, I've experienced extremely little wear unlike knives like Strider where their lock faces wear out like a hot stick of butter.

Hey Nick, nice review! The hati is incredibly smooth, and if you polish the pivot or the washers, it becomes just as smooth as a bearing knife. Another thing to note, I wouldn't worry about the lock bar insert as it won't wear as quickly as a regular Ti framelock since steel on steel doesn't have stick to enhance the wear, and the insert is harder than most titanium. The life of the Hati's lockbar insert should surpass the Bowie. But either way, they should both still last a very long time.

You sound like Steve Buscemi on helium doing an impression of Christopher Walken. Properly funny.....

Nice review! Nice accent. However, Sinkevich comes from Belarus, just saying. Subscribed!

man how long do you practice your accents you nailed them all so far

Very nice vid, thanks a lot! I got mine with blue G10 handles and made of Elmax steel. I simple love this masterpiece of Russian craftsmanship. Greetings from Germany!

Love to see the inside of the knife,not a lot of people are doing it on KZfaq knife reviews.Goo job nick

Love all of your videos. Watching you helped me with 100% confidence to take all my knives apart and clean them Nick. Do you happen to have a Shaman or a delica 4 that I can do a review on. I’m trying to get my channel going and get the confidence of talking to the public. I have the PM2 Micarta cruwear and absolutely love it

Great review as always Nick! Looking forward to the review of the Neon!

Love videos where the reviewer disassemblies the stuff also.

Came back to find this to say you have to try the new R version with the Alutex scales. It looks very interesting and like a new exclusive material

your russian accent is perfect

That Russian accent was spot on! Great review Nick!

Yess. The back of the blade when close bothers me. That’s why the bugout is off my list.

I love your knowledge on knifes 👍🏻😊

You ever play with a Kershaw Junkyard Dog? Mine is more fall shutty than most of my knives on washers. Crazy for $80. Smooth as shit.

I don't think they are going to return to any serious Norseman production until next year. They are working on my Rask (and yours)! BTW, I took delivery of a like new Reate Horizon D today and I have got to tell you that I'm impressed. I am guessing it compares well to the Shiros.

Nick, I am a bit perplexed how you can say that $550.00 is not bad for a knife. To be honest I am not a knife person; I like them as much as the next guy. I started viewing your channel because of your watch reviews. And I sort of agree with your logic about Swiss mechanical watches being overpriced. Your being point is that a watch is a tool to tell time and that for most people that's all the matters. But isn't that the case for knives as well? I have a Spyderco knife that I think I paid about $40.00 and it works just fine. I would not even entertain paying the kind of price that the Shirogorov costs. So how do you justify paying about 13 times more for a knife and not for a watch? After all I think you will agree that far more work and attention to detail goes into making a fine mechanical watch than making any knife. Thanks for the nice video!

Great review,thanks.What size screwdriver did you use? The screw head looks like it is easy to damage without a dedicated screwdriver to use.

That movie magic was seamless. Great video as always brother

Nice review Nick!

Hello nick im curious if you still have this knife? And if so would you be interested in selling it please let me know thanks

I gotta say...I was damn impressed

Pretty darn good ax-ent!

great review nick!!! loved accent!

Also when talking about "washer" knives being smooth... I polished the internals of my PM2 a little bit... That thing flops when the lock is disengaged. I mean, I hold the knife and disengage the lock, it falls closed... It's scary/frustrating that I have a PM2 that falls shut when closing, but has that light hydraulic smoothness when opening and can flick open no trouble either... It's like a magic PM2...

Nick, you mentioned using a coin to take the knife apart. Did you do that, or did you use a flathead driver? How about for the rear standoff? A smaller coin / driver? Thanks!

On which video I could find your talk on flatheads?

do you think the increased blade weight would also affect the closing action positively?

In all honesty, I think these Shiro's are very nice knives. BUT, when I look at construction of Hinderer, I see my Hinderer w/ 3 big Ti screws, 3 bigger copper standoffs, and a fairly nice sized pivot, AND a Ti liner for the G-10 side, (which I really like). I guess it's my inferiority complex at work. But those Shiro's are smooth, and slender, and Bu-T-Full!

Nick, where can I find a Norseman for around $660ish? The few I have come across lately have been going for more than $1K.

I have a question : the chinese Hati, are made there under license or are a clone ? Thanks. Regards.

hey Nick the shiro has multirow bearing systems u should look into first!!!!

Very nice review, Nick! Has your 95T arrived yet?

I know this was posted some time ago, but I'm curious - where did you find one new online? I can't seem to find one anywhere! Thanks.

Looks like recon 1 put out a map pricing of $1095 for almost all the knives. Sucks cause I really would like one.

i really enjoy your videos i just wanna say

You sound like Fievel Mousekewitz's father.

Owned and let go many, my early Hati in S90 is one of my biggest regrets.

When are you getting your Rask? Should be pretty soon, no?

holy shit HAHAHAHA. the way you say 'gem' is too good

Maybe the lock bar insert is flush on another knife , maybe if you send it in they can put a new insert in .

Very nice:)

These are fairly inexpensive from Shirogorov direct I hear. Under $400. The dealers just mark it up like crazy in the US. As silly as it may sound, that alone keeps me from buying one.

Now the Neon!

W Dnu I have no idea

😂😂😂 nick your the only person I know who would consider a ZT 0452cf as a low end knife lol

Hello fellow Americans, what are is your favorite nuclear launch codes?

Grail knife!!!

Had to do a double-take, to make sure I was watching a Shabazz review. I don't trust any other reviewer when I'm looking to spend this much.

Code 4 beats them all.

I would require imediate lobotomy first.

Lmao on that accent

bushing copy from CRK and the sebenza that you hated lol

😂🖒

Ill wait till the steel is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY cheaper.

GOOD REVIEW. BUT 700$!!! it's a production knife, capitalist rapists double the price in the US, *DISCLAIMER:* Just my opinion for the sensitive type.
