So kiridashi size?
some pictures in situ would help with sizing. Or you can always just do a Kuraki; five hands, one hand, three fingers. |

I started out liking the fuller or cut outs aesthetically, but now that I have had a few, decided all they do is collect shit. Fuzz, grease, dirt, food. No thanks. I have been actively seeking the Shiros without the fuller. An Elmax 111 is on the list when I see the right one. I would prefer it in the CF, but doesn't look like they ever made any in Elmax and CF. At least not sold stateside.  May have to settle for Vanax and CF if one comes along.

For you Shiro owners. They list their blade length at 4". Can someone tell me if that is the actual length of the sharpened edge or is that the overall length of the blade with the sharpened edge being less than 4"? Thanks.

Can someone tell me if that is the actual length of the sharpened edge or is that the overall length of the blade with the sharpened edge being less than 4"? Thanks. With Shiros I've noticed the cutting edge will always measure longer than the listed length, which is apparently measured from the furthest extent of the frame to the tip of the blade. For example, the F95 is listed at 3.74". And that is accurate if you measure from the furthest protrusion of the frame/handle/slab to the tip of the knife. However, as old man Wisconsin demonstrated pages back the cutting edge will measure 4" or a little more. I agree with the method that measures total protrusion from the handles as it matters for penetration when stabbing. Others makers seem to do the opposite and I find their knives are actually shorter than listed. I've also noticed some where I think they just do poor metric to standard conversions and seem to always be off by some amount (Reate, I'm looking at you) which is something I've also noticed with barrel lengths on European pistols. |

Honestly though, and I can't speak for all of them, but my example is so perfect it is boring. The action is perfect, fit and finish is perfect, the detail is perfect, the design is perfect, centering is perfect, the clip is perfect, the grind is perfect, the weight is perfect and the size is perfect. They maximized the blade to handle ratio. Personally I like the size of the 111 and the liner lock a bit more, but I can see why the F95 is the best selling model for Shiro. Mine is so perfect I am afraid to use it. I wouldn't think cutting edge length would be an issue for you. You could do worse than picking one up. But you probably should add that to the list of reasons to move out of your oppressive state. ETA: Those Russians are crazy... But you probably know that. |
