GreenThorn Shirogorov Hati Clone


    Comes in a simple black box without logo. Free lanyard!
    Molded foam inside the case





    Impressed with the detail in the flipper tab. Nice and rounded edges.



    Nice jimping for extra grip

    Really surprised by the skeletonised handle. Usually only available on higher end knives (clone or not)









    Side-by-side comparison with the Kershaw Entropy

      - G10 and Milled Steel Handle
        - Double row ball bearings
          - Flipper + Framelock
            - Blade length: 3.74inch (95mm)

                • Impressive fit and finish. 
                • Comes in a black box with magnetic lid and no logo. (Mine had a free lanyard too!)
                • Pivot is a little tight out of the box, but can be adjusted.
                • Pocket clip is too tight but after adjustment, it works fine.
                • Nice textured G10 and jimping.
                • The stonewash is nice and even on both the blade and the steel handle.
                • Skeletonised steel handle to reduce weight. Well balanced.
                • Seems to be D2 blade steel, only time will tell.
                • Feels great in the hand, no hotspots. Its a fairly big knife too!
                • Excellent detent, just right.
                • Good blade centering and decent edge.
                • Affordable, great quality.

                This blade is 4% of the price of and Original Shirogorov Hati ($1000+)
                Ethical opinions aside, this knife (the clone) is really good value if you are going to use it (instead of collect it in a glass boxas you should with all knives...
