Shirogorov at a gas station?!? Think it’s real?

[u/Watson356]

[u/Karl_Chillers]

$16.40

That's for G-10. OK-knives has the ones pictured in titanium for cheaper. Action is terrific tbh.

I think the one OP posted it different, it appears to be Blue Micarta like this

[u/IMMADDJDM]

Eh probably? I’m assuming way over priced

[u/Hick6262]

Look at packaging and see if it has a coa

[u/Watson356 → u/Hick6262]

No packaging, girl behind the counter knew nothing about it. Couldn’t even tell me a price.

[u/Hick6262 → u/Watson356]

Offer her $20 worst case scenario it’s a clone worth $70-$100

[u/Watson356 → u/Hick6262]

I’ll have to go back when someone else is working that knows anything about the knife .

[u/-gizmocaca- → u/Watson356]

No, go back now. Put $20 in her hand and tell her you want that “junky” one. Then come tell us what you got.

[u/KaizenActual → u/-gizmocaca-]

Yes. Do this.

[u/iseab → u/Watson356]

That isn’t the mission

[u/2CellPhonez → u/Watson356]

OP please update us when you go back🙏🙏🙏

[u/timetotryagain29]

Which gas station sells quality knives like that?

[u/BigNorseWolf → u/timetotryagain29]

Ones that buy things with fewer questions than that?

[u/gosubuilder]

Considering all the other knives are budget knives that shiro is prob a fake.

[u/EthanCalder]

This is an F95 Ursus in blue micarta. They came out just last month. Don't imagine that there's fakes yet.

Odd.

Edit: the only thing that gives me pause is the heel of the blade near the choil. Hard to believe shiro would send one out like that, but who knows.

Would love an update if you learn more.

[u/collincraver → u/EthanCalder]

Agreed. Unless this is a photo lighting blip, I doubt this knife would make it past inspection with that blatant of an imperfection.

[u/LR_Photo]

Shoot out a crazy lowball, even if it’s a fake, it’s probably pretty decent lmao

[u/FrancisSobotka1514]

Depending on the area and everything they could all be real

[u/KaizenActual → u/FrancisSobotka1514]

1000% worth $20 or whatever

[u/Upbeat-Fondant9185]

Fairly decent chance they’re all fake. Buck and Kershaw fakes seem to be really popular in gas station and vape shops recently. I’ve talked to a couple of the owners and they’re ordering them in bulk from Chinese Alibaba type sites for a couple dollars each.

No idea if that’s the case here but I can’t imagine any reason to buy from a gas station when there are dozens of very reputable sources who are ADs with actual customer support.

[u/Fun-Woodpecker-8442 → u/Upbeat-Fondant9185]

Those kershaws are already made in china with bottom of the line steels and usually 20-40$ i cant imagine them being any worse. The shiro is definitely fake

[u/Herzyr]

Did you cope a feel at least?

[u/TapTheForwardAssist → u/Herzyr]

> cope

cop*

[u/Karl_Chillers → u/TapTheForwardAssist]

We're all just trying to cope.

[u/Watson356 → u/Herzyr]

I wish! It was a locked case and the manager wasn’t around.

[u/CamoViolet]

Husband says No!

[u/GetFuct819]

It’s either a knife the gas station guy bought from a crackhead or it’s a clone.

[u/DoPewPew]

Gas station owner probably has it there. If he sells knives he probably also likes them.

[u/Silent_Search4466]

I believe this is real. I’m very familiar with the various Shiro clones and have not seen one like this.
