A Tom Mayo knife that received "citizenship" from Shirogorov Knives
The Russian Dr. Death Arctic is a knife from the elite limited series of the Shirogorov Brothers Workshop. Sergey Shirogorov continues to experiment with the Dr. Death model, originally created by American knifemaker Tom Mayo. The Arctic version of the "Dr. Death" turned out even more refined and aristocratic than its predecessors — an excellent choice for a gentleman's or villain's dress knife.
This weightless, elegant flipper with a damascus steel blade was released in a limited run of 100 pieces and instantly became a collector's treasure.
Before you is knife No. 26 — the corresponding mark is visible on the inner side of the titanium scale, as well as on the certificate signed by Tom Mayo and Sergey Shirogorov.
The "Doctor" features a single-row roller bearing at the pivot. This mechanism gives the knife a light, fluttering flip. Rest assured about your fingers' safety — the titanium frame lock spring securely holds the blade in the open position.
The swift, leaf-shaped blade profile is forged from high-grade Damasteel damascus. Notice how delicately the steel pattern is revealed. Every line of the Bjorkman's Twist ash-gray pattern is clearly visible and harmoniously complements the smoky tones of the scales.
The ergonomic handle cools the hand with its textured titanium on one side, and warms it with the velvety Alutex composite on the other. The scales feature a row of large perforations, which look especially striking when the blade is closed — like portholes through which steel waves of damascus ripple.
The jimping on the spine, the ergonomic handle shape, the three-dimensional titanium texture, and the contoured backspacer minimize slipping and give the hand complete control over the knife.
Weighing in at just 90 grams, this flipper is made for comfortable carry in a suit pocket or designer jeans. Thanks to its stylish and practical clip, the Dr. Death attaches equally well to lightweight summer trousers and rugged denim.
The Russian Dr. Death Arctic is a statement of style, mechanical perfection, and collector's rarity. This limited-edition knife, created by Tom Mayo in collaboration with Sergey Shirogorov, is an exquisite artifact that underscores its owner's status.
