Since I got my large and small Sebenzas, I have not carried any other knives. Was wondering anyone else feels this way.
 
I try to carry my spydie millies and para1 but never make it out of the house here are my reasons why!


My three favorite edc's

Other folders come and go, but one of these are EDC rotated often.

I hear ya. I'm having a hard time justifying any other knife in my collection. Everything else has become a "fun" knife simply for playing around with. The only one I carry and use is my new 21.
 
My Large micarta 21 just got a younger brother, a Large micarta Insingo.

Since I joined the CRK club I've sold off all my other knives. I've been carrying nothing but a Sebenza for the past several months and will continue to do so until some of my customs start coming in. Not much else compares once you've had your expectations set unreasonably high by CRK fit and finish.
 
Since I got my Umnumzaan it literally has not left my side. I've since sold all my other knives and the only other one I might carry is the Strider I also just bought. After these 2 I think I might be ok till the end of the year. :D
 
Nah... I love my Sebenzas, but I always like variety. Granted, my most carried knife is a small Insingo, but I also rotate with a 3" XM-18 Slicer, a couple Alan Davis Ti framelocks, a SAK Cadet, and even a darn SOG Flash 1!

+1 , along with the sebenza I need to throw the spyderco or emerson in there. Maybe a busse small edc fixed blade or an esee izula.
 
I love my CRK's and find them in my pocket more and more. I still however carry my hinderers, striders, and othe customs. CRK IS HARD TO BEAT THOUGH!
 
I actually haven't carried for years until recently when I discovered CRK. I am in love like a schoolkid in spring.

This pretty much says it for me too. Although I did just get a Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 and I'm big time impressed ~ it will get some pocket time.

The Para 2 is the only other knife I carry if I am not carrying my Large Micarta Insingo. That is going to change soon since I am getting married in 10 days and I bought all my groomsman alox saks. It turns out I bought one extra:) I guess I will have to carry that one too!
 
Not me. If you haven't held everything, or tried everything, how do you separate the hype from the truth?
I love Para2's and their locking system; Sebbies for their smoothness; Zaan for the slightly tactical look; Striders for their bull strength.
There's a lot to like out there. I wouldn't be in a hurry to settle on one maker.

Ever since I got my Large Insingo, everything else I own seems inadequate.

Have to agree with Sonnydaze here. I love CRKs .... but unlike many here, I collect them. Being retired, carrying a knife for work purposes doesn't apply. I love the sheer beauty, design, and fit/finish of the Sebenzas and Mnandis. While I may carry a Mnandi or Sebbie on occasion .... they are mainly works of art for me to admire (and show off ... as I get just as much pleasure letting others admire them). But, there are so many other knives that I also like and actually carry more. The Spyderco models coming out of their Taiwan factory are just phenominal. Love the LionSteel SR-1 series. Just ordered a Fantoni that I am excited to examine. KAI makes some fine knives in its ZT line. And .... my Shirogorov model 95 flipper is super in terms of design and fit/finish. That said ..... I plan to be part of the CRK family for quite some time .... they are absolutely great .... otherwise, I wouldn't have purchased 17 in the past 5 months! However ... if you look in my pockets .... more often than not, you will see a Spyderco Perrin PPT and a Spyderco Dragonfly or Squeak. They handle most any cutting task that comes up in my daily routine and .... I don't worry much if they get damaged.
 
As much as I love all my CRK's and carry a couple of them "most of the time", I do prefer a small sheath knife for everyday use and carry unless I happen to be going into town. I have a few favored customs that are just too "perfect" for me personally and they just happen to hold an edge extremely well besides. But when I slip a folder in my pocket it's always one of my Sebenzas. ;)

I feel the same way about CRK knives, but for me it is more about the Mnandi.
