Nóż składany Cheburkov Strizh small Damascus, Carbon Fibre

Highest possible quality

Superb knife. Perfect size, weight and the blade like almost all cheburkov's is excellent. Damn sharp out of the box with a useful all rounder blade shape. Noticeably lighter than the full ti version however it retains all the characteristics of the heavier version, including the snappy action. Another 5 out of 5

The detent was so strong at first that it took two hands to open and the lockup was very early at maybe 10%. The lack of steel liners and the "thud" of steel on the carbon fiber when opening made the knife feel cheap. I worry that possibly the washers run straight on the carbon fiber, I don't know. I would have returned it if not for the high cost of postage. After a couple of weeks the detent eased and the lockup has settled in at around 20%, which is fine since this knife is not going to see serious work. The end of the pocket clip that is not attached has not been milled to adapt to the curvature of the handle so the ramp is tilted and only touches the handle on one side. I'm sure this could be easily fixed, but for 360 euros, it's disappointing. After using it awhile, I feel that this a very beautiful and well made knife. I'm glad I kept it. The blade is perfect. I love the feel and look of the carbon fiber. The pocket clip issue, which isn't too serious, mars an otherwise really great knife. I don't know yet about the inner construction or durability, but so far, I feel it is worth the money
