Overview

The robust and recognizable design of RJ Martin mixed with the sleek and functional Shirogorov style! The Alutex scale and inlay combined with the ZDI-1016 damascus are ice cold! For those that didnt know, Alutex is an aluminum and glass based mixture that is very similar to carbon fiber in both looks, weight, and durability.. The two materials are layered together and then adhesively bonded to one another. The end result is a super strong, super lightweight material that thanks to the aluminum can achieve a wide array of color options! The handle shape is pure RJ, with a curving profile and single finger groove design. The floating titanium backspacer has robust jimping for extra grip. The scales are cut away at the rear end for the lanyard hole. The titanium lockside has been extensively milled out and windowed for weight reduction. The blade features a long drop point profile with raised, jimped thumb ramp. The blade features a stunning two tone finish, with brushed sating flats and a damascus pattern on the bevels. The blade is tuned to deploy with a very solid press of the flipper tab, just like you would find on one of RJ's custom knives, and deploys lightning fast and smooth on roller bearings. Lots of small details are present as you would expect from Shirogorov. The custom titanium pivot hardware has a two tone tumbled finish. The frame, floating backspacer and machined pocket clip all have a matching matte tumbled finish that ads a subtle contrast. The titanium scale has been milled out under the pocket clip for easier clipping and unclipping from your pocket. The scales have subtle scalloping for extra grip at the spine. The backspacer has been precisely machined to allow the blade to close within its footprint, allowing for the renown Shirogorov ratio of maximum blade size to frame fit.

  • Alutex show side scale and inlay with milled titanium lockside and steel lockbar insert
  • Familiar RJ Martin profile with some Shirogorov style for a superb design
  • Single Row Roller Bearing System (SRRBS) bearing pivot for super fast, butter smooth pivot
  • Superb feel in hand
  • Custom pivot and frame hardware.
  • Machined titanium backspacer with milled jimping and internal groove lets the full sized blade fully tuck into the frame's profile
  • Machined titanium pocket clip
  • Internal milling for weight reduction
  • Marked serial number inside the frame

Comes with original box and COA. Excellent condition. This is the final RJ Martin Collaboration for Shirogorov.

"I made my first custom knife in 1976, as a teenager. Being an avid fisherman, I loved to read the outdoor magazines, and the pictures in a Sports Afield article about Bob Dozier, peaked my interest. Those dropped hunters were beautiful! My father was an artist, and, I had already built fishing rods, lures, flies, and archery equipment, so I decided to build my first knife. It came out pretty well, and, the next was even better. You know the rest-I was hooked. I was so fascinated by steel and its heat treatment that I decided to become an Engineer. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY in 1984 with a BS in Materials Engineering. I started life in the professional world as an Airframe Designer with Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, CT. Over the next 17 years, I was privileged to work on some of the finest helicopter designs in the world. The S-92, shown below, occupied much of my time during the mid-90’s. I served as the Airframe Co-Design Lead for the cockpit, which was designed in Taiwan as part of a joint venture. The Canopy structure is an all-composite design, made largely of Carbon Fiber and Titanium. I received my first patent on this aircraft, for the cockpit window jettison mechanism. After the S-92, I served in the same capacity on the MH-60S. During this program, high speed machining was introduced as a means to produce components faster and more accurately. I was fortunate to become involved in this effort, and immediately recognized the benefits of CNC technology. I knew I had to have a CNC of my own, and, purchased a machine in 1999. The MH-60S provided me with my greatest design challenge: Designing a cabin floor that incorporated an integral roller system for loading and moving 3000 LB pallets of cargo within the cabin of the aircraft. My experience in making folding knives helped me develop some of the stops and latches that were used. I was fortunate to have Knife making as a second job! Many of the lessons I learned in Knife making helped me solve problems in helicopter design, and vice versa. We actually solved a difficult design issue by using KYDEX, a common knife sheath material, to fabricate some tricky air conditioning ducts! I served as Chief of Design of the MH-60S for two years, before I retired in 2001 to become a full-time knife maker. I cannot imagine a better combination of careers. I was privileged to work with some of the finest people I have ever met, designing the finest aircraft in the world. Now, I am privileged to apply the skills I acquired to design and build some of the finest knives in the world."
