About this run

The run with the most documentation and the clearest place in its model's life, and the one that comes closest to a Sergey Shirogorov full custom build. Zladinox ZDI-E stainless Damascus on deeply contoured 3D-milled titanium scales with internal pockets, a compound-ground blade with a spine window, and the lanyard-hole backspacer that carried over to the serial Astrum. Stamped 2023, on the market by early 2024, distributed to established collectors and three dealers in one batch. The Astrum Custom Division run, the First Production and serial retail all came after it.
