Past few months I've been collecting different brands and models. Problem I found with this hobby is you have to buy um to try um.

So i'm ready now to start selling the ones that are just not for me.

A/o 6/1/18 still available: small Sebenza is I bought it here on BF a within the past two months. It came with the blade slightly off center and the action was stiffer than it should be. So I called CRK customer service and she said it sounds like a pinched washer. I'm new and if I knew better I would have returned it to the seller and let him deal with it. But I figured no problem, I'll just send it into CRK as it only costs me $4.50 from my office account. I knew they would put it right and they did their Spa service at no charge. I also told them not to sharpen it. But they charged me $17.50 for return shipping and I had to wait 5 weeks to finally get it back just to re-sell it. I've never carried it.

My original plan was to only add onto what I paid for the models that I wanted to try out and just break even by only including the PP G&S fee and the USPS 2 day priority shipping with signature required delivery.

I'm just not a small blade type of user. Its a beautiful specimen with only the slightest snail trail when viewed at a certain angle near the rear as indicated in the close up pic.

*There are no marks on this blade. Its just reflections.

I can't break even on this one because I have to absorb the unexpected $22 it cost me to send and receive back from CRK. I can also post a pic of the CRK Spa paperwork Monday as its in my office.

$308 takes it (TYD). Best to email me at expidia@yahoo.com as I see that the fastest, but OK to PM me here too. I go by the time either the email or PM gets to me.

No sales to anyone under 18.
Continental U.S. only
Satisfaction assured.
2 day USPS with G&S, PP, delivery receipt included.

The story on this Mnandi *** SOLD*** is this is actualy the exact "Devin Thomas" rain drop pattern Im looking for, but in a large Sebenza 21 with wood inlays!

I bought this from Peter Bright last month here on BF. He seems to trade these a lot. Never carried, looked to be a safe queen and I have no reason not to believe him. I'm just not a small knife guy, but this specimen is simply stunning. I'm not a collector. If I buy and decide to keep a particular model, its going into my EDC rotation.

This is in perfect condition. Any marks are just reflections.

As with all my upcoming sales, I'm only trying to break even after trying them out.

*** SOLD*** $490 to your door (including PP GS and 2 day USPS priority shipping
with signature required). Selling on Blade HQ for $600.
expidia@yahoo.com I see that faster, but OK to PM.
Continental U.S.
Must be over 18 to purchase.

Satisfaction assured.

I'll be adding 4 more CRK's to this thread as soon as I can get to the pictures and descriptions up. .1 Mnandi Cocobolo plain blade $344. .2 “SOLD” Mnandi Spalted Beech plain blade $SOLD
(both Mnandi's the same story as my first Mnandi posted above, I bought all 3 from Peter Bright here on BF past few weeks). .3 Large Sebenza 21 CGG Raindrop handle with Damascus RD blade. Card says Devin Thomas, but seller damaged his blade and CRK replaced it last week for $300 with a Chad Nicholas Raindrop Damascus $525. .4 Large Sebenza 21 CGG "Gold Leaf" plain blade (a nice find as these are discontinued) $370.​

I'll follow up with pics and particulars, but you can also email me at expidia@yahoo.com if you need a quick pic before I get then all posted.

Darin, I replied back to you earlier from my yahoo email. I have you time stamped at 1:56pm. Please indicate which one you were taking as I have multiple posts now in this combined thread. Also post "I'll take it and which one" in this thread, so we can leave feedback for each other.
 
I'm close to getting the pics re-sized to post. I've already sent the larger ones to people that emailed me.
Once I get them up here I'll also post them on the FB BST Group, but time stamp any "I'll take its" as they come in from either site.
 
***Sold*** ... $275 Mnandi Spalted Beech (same story as the above Mnandi Damascus post as to why I'm selling).
Pic on the brighter blue CRK cloth was taken outside to give a better representation of its true color as the others are under my ceiling led lights. to your door. Use G&S. USPS 2 day shipping with signature required.

**SOLD** This Raindrop one is a Chad Nicholas raindrop Damascus. The previous owner damaged his blade and he sent it back to CRK and it came back last week. I thought they were replacing it with the same blade which was a Devin Thomas
bolder pattern. CRK changed from DT to CN, so the new blade is a CN raindrop which many people here prefer. I prefer the design like the Mnandi Devin Thomas Damascus in my post above. So I'm reselling this one and I'm on the look out for a DT large seb 21 raindrop blade with wood inlays.
I tried to capture a faint metal reflection near the rear hole when viewed at certain angle, but its real hard to see. I never noticed it until I was rotating it earlier outside. A future free spa treatment and they should be able to buff CGG as the CRK C/S rep told me.
I've never carried it or opened it. looks like the factory edge to me.

This raindrop CGG on knifecenter.com shows a $680 price (if they had it in stock).
It has the action of a brand new knife since the previous owner just got it back from CRK.
**SOLD** $525 choose PP G&S and I'm using USPS 2 day shipping with a delivery signature required to protect both of us.

Next up is a piece of art IMO. Its the *** SOLD*** "Gold Leaf" CGG large Sebenza. They have been discontinued and this should be one for you to hold onto. I'm a user . . . I dont keep knives in safes. This one's just too pretty for me to EDC.
A google shows if a store still had one in stock it would go for $485.
I'm selling it for *** SOLD*** $370. PP G&S and by USPS 2 day with a delivery signature to protect us both.

I tried to capture a faint scratch when viewed at a certain angle near the R. If you ever sent it in for a future free spa treatment I already checked with CRK C/S and she said they can usually buff out a light faint scratch on a CGG.
I'm still resizing the pics, I'll get them up after dinner tonight.

Both knives ship to continental U.S. only

Man that was a smoking deal in the Spalted Beech!

Let me know if something doesn’t work out I’ll take it!

Ya, thanks. Spalted Beech is one of my favorites. The Seb 21 Im using for my EDC is a large 21 Spalted Beech with a plain blade. When I saw that DT Damascus Mnandi's bold RD blade, I knew I had to start looking for a large 21 DT Damascus with wood inlays :D
Like I said I'm reselling all for the great prices I paid for them (thats why each Mnandi is a different price) and just adding in the G&S and the $10 + 2 day shipping. I'm just breaking even, but still short because the G&S is charged on the full amount. I don't care, I just wanted to handle each of them! I'm listing another 6 tomorrow, but of different brands on the other selling site here.
 
Which wood for the DT damascus?

Suggest running separate posts for each knife. This thread gets confusing.
 
Bog Oak on the raindrop Mnandi

a mod said its not fair to others to run separate posts so he combined my original posts. his rules say you have to start a separate post in another thread each day!

I did reply earlier that the Damascus Mnandi was Bog Oak.
 
Oh sorry, not specific. if I had my choice it would be snakewood. but I have a plain blade large 21 and its spalted beech. something to be said for light or dark. light does not show scratches as easily as dark. send me a pic if you have one in mind to sell. bold raindrop pattern is my current preference.
