Hey guys I wanted to go through what I think Chris Reeve at his best. I have a small micarta Classic and I wanted to go through some differences. First I will start with the solid pins. I think this gives the knife extra beauty from the ones offered today with the hex on both sides. Now it does not add function to the pins I just think the look better.
The handle of the classic has three bevled edge something I think adds beauty to the knife. Don't get me wrong all crk knives are very precise cutting instruments, I just think this gives the knife extra detail.
I find that the thumb hole is better cut, and because of the 3 bevled edge makes this knife very easy to open. I am not mocking the work of Chris reeve today. I just going through the details of his older work. The 21 is a awesome knife, just as good as the classic, I am just going through some differences.
The s30v blade is awsome I have uses the bg42 and in my opinion I like s30v better. Some might say that he hardness is too soft, say it is perfect for resharpening, and the edge will not chip. I have not used the s35vn steel so I could not tell you it is better.
Now one thing I do not like about the new ones is the Idaho Made stamp. I have never had one and will not purchase one for that reason. I think the engraving could have been placed in a diferrent spot on the knife. I do like the engraving of the classic I think the engraving was put in a perfect position.
Tell me what you guys think, do you think attention to detail is better on crk older knives?
