1000 and counting.

Thought I would make my 1000th post here on the CRK forum. Can't think of a better place! Guess I need some knife content, so here goes. I just sold a plain Classic. This was the one I had traded a couple of BM's for Sold it though to fund more Sebenza's Specifically the leather and hopefully a wood Classic. Large of course

So you have it.

Moving up to an inlay? and why not! Always good to have you here!

Well thank you very much St. James Yes the leather inlays have taken me by storm! I now await for Larry of Bladeart fame to get a wood inlaid Classic. My Large ironwood 2001 Sebbie would sure like to have a companion.

And speaking of colorblindness, we were weren't we? The blue leather and brown leather Classics I have BOTH appear to have black leather at certain angles. Yeah thats it.......its the lights fault! Nothing wrong with MY eyes

As my 7th graders tell me everyday; Peace out

I'm thinking of moving up to a large classic wood inlay to go with my large regular California Buckeye Burl inlayed one. Man, this has got to stop!

Artsig, can you see any way that the leather might have a way of freying on the edges? I know their inlayed but what is you view?

I emailed CRK when I got the brown leather inlay and asked about whether it would stand up to edc. The reply was; IT IS! Of course with leather you still have to use reasonable care. The leather is embossed and sealed which should have compressed it, and from what I can tell it did. The leather is not spongy to the touch or even when you press on it. The leather is perfectly inlaid in the pockets and is flush with the handle. The same tape that holds the wood inlays in is used on these. I guess to answer your question, no with reasonable care. If you use it in a humid subtropical, tropical, or maritime climate then you may have a problem down the road. Of course when I really expect to "torture" my knife I carry my plain Large regular. But for normal edc, at least for me, the large leather Classic is fine.....no, I mean FINE


I would have to believe if the leather did have a problem the good folks at CRK would stand behind it! !
