Awaiting My First CRK! Do you remember yours?

My first CRK was a small plain regular sebenza, nice little knife.

Yes.

Most people know the story. Here she is:

I carried her for about a year non stop. Then I was mugged and it was taken. Though the knife was made in 2006 it laid under the counter for 3 years and then I bought her.
 
I remember it all too well.
My obsession with the Sebenza started a couple of years ago, but for a poor student it wasn't really justifiable to spend 600$ for a knife (including international shipping, custom fees etc). So two years ago I was on vacation in California, where I finally could handle my dream knife. It was pretty much what I hoped it would be like, and the urge grew almost unbearable.
Half a year later, I finally places an order for one with micarta inlays and double lugs. The waiting period was about 6 weeks at the time, and you all know how this feels :) Then, finally, I got the confirmation that it was sent on its way. At that time I did my internship and was only at home during weekends. And of course, on a Monday I checked the delivery status and saw that the folks at home signed for the package.
It definitely felt like the longest week in my life, knowing it was only a 2.5 hour trainride away.
In the end, I told my brother to bring the package with him when picking me up at the trainstation on Friday :D
It barely left the pocket since, and I doubt it will be the last CRK.
