Awestruck

...and amazed, flabbergasted, blown away, etc.

If there was ever a time I wish I had a better camera, it is now. I sold a few CRK's recently to fund this and it was completely worth it.

Without a doubt I have never been this excited about a knife.

I go through many, sometimes I only have one a few days before I put it on the chopping block, but I would sell every knife I own before even considering selling this one.

Forgive the quick cell phone shots, they by no means do this knife any justice.

Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sentiments exactly upon opening the box!

 

[keepright]

Very, very nice.

If there was ever a time I wish I had a better camera, it is now.

Send it up to me for a week and I'll do it for free.

Some knives I just want to open close a few hundred times when I get it. But this blade is one that you just hold and admire.

 

[RiverRat84]

Offer noted and I may take you up on it.

For now though, it's not going anywhere!

Agreed! I've always been steadfast against owning any "safe queens" and when I felt one was such I'd sell it, but this is different.

First thing I saw when I looked at your photo is what appears to be a wolf face complete with eyes next to the pivot. Very nice!

Very, very nice in deed. It looks like a picture of Mars or Jupiter from orbit in that 3rd pic. :thumbup:

Well deserve James! I'm stoked for u bro.:thumbup:

 

[atony]

That is a beauty James!

 

[lemmuhj]

Nice one bro! I see a evil looking owl's face just right of the pivot screw in the first pic.

 

[DBH]

That is a beauty. The wood grains show well with the cellphone pic!

 

[jwolf90]

Stunning Seb, I saw the wolf also, if you ever want to let it go let me know My last name is Wolf:thumbup:

 

[dwcliff]

Gorgeous knife sir! What is that inlay?

 

[RiverRat84]

It's a Large 2004 Annual with CA Buckeye Burl :thumbup:

Thanks for all your comments guys, I could totally see an owl and wolf!

Back at work, it's at home, bums me out!

 

[Tim616]

Make it a hard user

 

[jackthedog]

Very nice knife. I can definitely see the animal eyes.

 

[김원진]

Does your annual have the large jimping? I'm curious if all 2004's have the large jimping, or if it was just a certain run.

Very nice indeed :thumbup:, was wondering what made you throw up all the recent sales. My safe queen, if/when i ever get one will be a mammoth ivory annual/or not.
