SBW Tetra

Limited SBW Tetra designed by Dmitry Sinkevich

SBW limited-edition Tetra flipper designed by Dmitry SiDiS Sinkevich.

Laconic appearance, well-thought-out ergonomics, modern technologies, and materials – all this let SBW shake the archaic market of Russian knives 10 years ago. Today Shirogorov Workshop is one of the leading Russian manufacturers.

Folding knife SBW Tetra features the majority of characteristics of its manufacturer plus recognizable SiDiS’s design (engineering + mad creativity, proportions unknown).

Looking at the Tetra’s shape you get to understand that every curve is not about great appearance. They are, first of all, about physics and anatomy.

The blade was crafted out of Crucible CPM® S90V™. This premium steel features exceptionally good wear resistance. It might require scrupulous sharpening but will reward you with a lasting razor-sharp edge. Usually, S90V blades have a stonewash finish or DLC coating. But Tetra’s blade has a longitudinal satin finish. Yes, it’s hard. It took a lot of time. Here it would be appropriate to quote the authors: “SBW knives is not a compromise, it’s a challenge!”

Liners of the handle, pocket clip, and hardware are made of titanium anodized to a blue color with purple shimmering. On the inner surface of the right liner, the SBW emblem and serial number 66/100 are engraved. The left liner has the Sinkevich emblem and “Sinkevich Design” engraving on it. Both liners feature the inner milled ornament. Scales on the handle are made of carbon fiber. Scales’ 3d texture provides a non-slip grip.

The tip-up pocket clip has a width-varied ribbing on it. Beautiful and ergonomic. 

A sturdy pivot with bushing and washers provides long life without risks of wearing out the tang end, liners of the handle, and pivot screw. Due to the careful individual adjustment of washers in every knife, there’s no blade play.

The collectible status of the limited-edition Tetra knife makes it a great valuable present for an understanding knife lover.
