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

[TRfromMT]

Well, I will be celebrating them from now on... I am down to two, and inkosi insingo, and an unumzaan (on the way tomorrow). The inkosi has my daughter's birthday, and the 'zaan has my wife's birthday. My two favorite knives of all time and my two favorite ladies. I guess it all works sometimes.

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a date card written in EU date format

Same here! And the handwriting is different from the usual cards of that era... come to think of it, the date cards of that era always seem to have the same handwriting, so I wonder if the same one person was doing the cards for a decade or so?

Story I was told was this particular knife was Chris personal knife for a while, it’s written in the same manner as the South Africa made knives. I’ll try and find out some more info on it from whom I acquired it from.

I have a H Sebenza dated back to 1991 also with this date format, I have seen some like this but very few.
