I'm pretty new around here and I've obviously missed something, but why don't Kershaw and CR get along? Some type of industry dispute?
I too am curious. Feel like chiming in and telling a story, Thomas?

I love ZT with INFI.
This is, of course, the correct answer.

:thumbup:Not trying to be a hater, but I really don't see what a CRK collaboration would accomplish. The main thing that makes Sebenzas and their CRK brethren unique are the extremely close tolerances to which they're machined as well as their fit and finish. Apart from that, there's not much else outstanding about their designs.
Many other knives have more innovative locking systems (yes CRK makes the Ti-lock, but to be fair that is a Grant & Gavin Hawk collab) and pivot systems. I believe there are other manufacturers/custom knifemakers that could collaborate on a design that would either be more practical or aesthetically appealing (or both) compared to a CRK collab.
Personally, I'd like to see more fixed blade collaborations. Bill Harsey, Landi, BRKT, Strider, Entrek, those are some of the few I can think of.
