Briceag Cheburkov Friz M390 Knurled Titanium

This knife is a production masterpiece and sets a new international standard for the flipper. Nothing so large and elegant out there. The knurling on the handle is contoured to the shape in a manner that shows careful appreciation of the human/machine interface. Very "Soviet" in a beautiful way to my American eye, kind of steampunky knurling. The weight is quite light for its size. It is unusual to see a skinner tip of this size--arguably shaped along the lines of a Herron skinner tip that could easily spread peanut butter on the one side with its understated but noticeable swedging, or, optionally unzip a belly of the deer with the edge avoiding the entrails, all while in M390! Cheburkov has set a new standard. The only gripe of mine is the flipper tab could be more robust, but it is good nevertheless. I rate this as amongst the highest level for its fit and finish, conceptual execution.

Ein sehr schönes Messer.
