Anyone Celebrate Their CRK Birthdays? I have one turning 25 next month!

[bvo85]

Anyone here celebrate the birthdays of their old CRKs? I have one born in 1993 that's turning 25 years old next month! They grow up so fast...

Any ideas on how to celebrate? 25 is a big one!

I'll save the pics of the knife itself for his 25th birthday next month, but here's a sneak peak of his birth certificate.

Most of my CRKs are on rotation anyway but I make it a point to carry them on their B-days. This one's is tomorrow.

This one shares a birthday with my wife. I damn’d sure better not forget to celebrate something on that day.

My Decorated P Sebenza's 25th birthday is just minutes away!!! I will post pics tomorrow once the natural lighting is better

I'll give a teaser word...

Zebra

My P just turned 25 a few days ago also. Lemme see if I can figure out how to attach a pic.

Here she is! Sorry for the crappy pics, I really need to learn how to take better pictures and use light better because this thing is gorgeous but the pics don't do it justice. I'm not sure what the name of this pattern is, but I imagine it's a zebra hair.

Each groove is individually milled out on one side:

The other side where the smaller part of the hair meets the edge of the scale is smooth:


The color is a gorgeous pink-purplish effect:


The backspacer is flamed the same pink-purplish color to match. I've never seen customized backspacers before, I've always only seen one of the standard fixed colors:


The fact that it's in such great condition for a 25 year old knife is incredible!

Love it

Here’s the backspacer in mine made just a week prior to yours.

Wow! If I am seeing things correctly, did Chris mill out and shape the backspacer? Also please post a pic of my knife's week-older big brother!

Nowhere near as fancy or pristine as yours, but here it is.
