Shirogorov treated fans to a long-anticipated release over the weekend, returning to the Hati model after a bit of a hiatus. The Hati Gen. 3 sees little revisions all over and breaks new ground in the serial production Shirogorov line with its upgraded pivot.
Shirogorov is not a shop known for its huge range of models. Each one is worked on intensely and, eventually, iterated on. “We have updated and reworked F95s and NeOns, made two generations of Quantums, along with its third version within the framework of the Ursus Line. F3 and 111 got their share of updates, as well,” Shirogorov representative Tom wrote in a post on the Shiro forums. “And all this while, Hati has been patiently waiting.”
On a visual level, the Hati Gen. 3 looks a lot like its predecessors, and indeed the general specs have not changed. The blade is the same 3.74-inch drop point. In this way it falls in line with other “EDC Plus” Shirogorov folders, coming in with a highly capable size without sacrificing EDC slicing performance for that extra real estate.

“Ukraine for the Win!” . . . “Never Surrender, Never Give Up!” (Galaxy Quest). Regarding “Shirogorov” or anything “Made in Russia”, . . . a buyer MUST PAY WITH RUBLES!!! ZERO EXCEPTIONS. ( . . . let us do some conversion math, a Shirogorov costing $1,000 + USD can be had for about 100 rubles, . . . or something like that.) USA! USA! USA! – – – UKRAINE! UKRAINE! UKRAINE! The “rant” is now complete.

Can’t help here, the only Ruble I have any knowledge about is Fred’s buddy Barney!
But if you are talking about currency, I just paid $2.00 a litre for gas, 4.5 litres make up one of our gallons. A U.S. gallon is a bit smaller, one litre equals 0.264 gallon. Maybe it will be Math Meme Week!!!! I’m out.

Headed to the “Moran Forge” this morning. It’s an opportunity to do some more work on a couple of “home-mades” that I am getting ready for garden duty! I really enjoy being among the many talented knifemakers and craftsmen that share their experiences and knowledge to help me. Today will be a good day to knock back a cold one, Del.
