Since I owned a CRK. The last one I had, I gave to my daughter’s fiancée a few years back and never replaced it - never missed it, until now. I’ve always had a weird sort of dynamic with CRK knives, the Sebenza in particular. I always liked them, but I never really liked them if you know what mean. I just never understood what in my mind I thought was hype. There were many other knives I just liked better, even if they weren’t as practical.

Being in law enforcement I gravitated more towards big, beefy, “Tacticool” types like Hinderer, or Strider, etc. I still like them but now, just two weeks shy of having been retired for five years, my tastes have changed. I’m enthralled with this knife. For whatever reason, I never really got it until now. It’s like when you finally notice the pretty girl you never really paid attention to before.

I love everything about it. The ergonomics, the aesthetics, the practicality of the overall design and the workmanship. If I could only carry one knife for the rest of my life, this would be it. Hands down. No questions asked. I know I’m gushing a lot about what to you guys must seem like just a plain old Sebenza, but man to me this thing is like finding the holy grail. I finally get it. This one’s gonna be a keeper. . .IMG_7512.jpegIMG_1083.jpegIMG_1081.jpegIMG_7514.jpegIMG_7515.jpeg
 
Welcome back! I had a similar journey with CRK, although it didn’t take me too long to love ‘em. Now I’m broke, but the collection is healthy! Ha!
 
Sometimes it takes a while to appreciate them for what they are as tastes and preferences evolve. There have been two times in the past that I owned multiple CRKs only to sell them all and have none. I currently have four Sebenzas and one Inkosi and can't really see myself getting rid of any of them.
