Shirogorov Knives: F95 Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern - Blue
We are always on the lookout for new projects and killer gear, so when we got the opportunity to work with Shirogorov Knives, you bet your bacon we jumped on it! Being huge fans and knowing the absolute quality of Shirogorov Knives, we could not wait to see the final product. Even with the highest expectations set for this project, we were still blown away with the Model 95 Flipper rocking some sexy Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern and we're glad we could get another batch in! This knife has some killer features that takes it to the next level:
- Beyond butter smooth MRBS (multi-row bearing system) pivot
- Semi-concealed lock insert is hidden from the profile of the lockbar and adds toughness, longevity and easy replacement of the lock contact surface
- Custom stepped and scalloped machined titanium pocket clip
- Matching custom hardware (pivot, clip screw, standoff and scale hardware)
- Fine jimping on spine for extra grip without being abrasive
- Absolutely exceptional use of Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern on both frame sides
- Shirogorov and MEFP logos engraved on presentation side frame
The Frame: The scales are titanium in Monkey Edge FRAG Pattern with a tumbled blue anodized finish. Machined titanium pocket clip with matching finish. Custom pivot, scale hardware and clip screw with blasted finish
The Blade: Double flat ground spearpoint blade profile. Silky smooth blasted and light tumbled finish on the blade matches the custom frame hardware.

*Note: Folks always call and email us second guessing these numbers. These measurements are done by us, and are derived from how we measure blades. 'As the crow flies' from the tip to the end of the sharpened part of the blade is 4.1 inches. However, from the tip to the forward most part of the frame is SHORTER than 4.1 inches (about 3.75 inches) because the edge extends under and past the forward frame line. In our methodology, it does not compute to have an edge length that is longer than the blade itself (and different measurements can land people in hot water due to local laws). So we measure from tip to roughtly the spot where the sharpening choil meets the frame. Different blade shapes and certain blade to frame geometry makes some traditional measuring 'standards' short circuit, like in this case, so we go off what makes sense in our heads. If you want the Shirogorov number, look at their data. These knives are the same size and shape as all Quantums.
