CRK fiends, its time to come clean...

This Saturday I added my third to the collection (a micarta large tanto 21) to compliment the Wilson Combat models. I think I've come to the conclusion that the Sebenza 21 is the knife for me. After three years I have a very good idea of what I like in a knife finally, and the Sebenza is it.

I think my next pursuits will be a wood inlayed 21 (probably madagascar rosewood), gold leaf CGG, and way down the pipeline a damascus unique graphic model.
 
Just received a small micarta Insingo from TNK today, to replace the small plain 21 that I lost.............TWICE!!!

However, I would love to have a large micarta Insingo also, but I thought it may be larger than I care to EDC?

I'm at 4 currently.

1) Wilson Startac Umnumzaan
2) Sebenza 25
3) Small Silver Contrast Unique Graphic 21
4) Large Micarta 21

I'd like to someday add a Mnandi to the collection.
 
I've owned a few CRK's but never more than 4 at a time. In fact right now I am sebbie less while waiting for a sebbie from a vendor or direct from CRK (not sure where it's coming from).
 
I guess I'm a follower:
Small standard 21 box elder inlay
Large standard 21 micarta inlay
Large 21 Tamboti inlay
Large Insingo
Sebenza 25
2008 Umnumzaan.

I sit here reading this post with my first Chris Reeve, which is an Umnumzaan, still in the box that came in today from Knife Art. Based on what I have seen here, I am just moments away from contracting CRK collector disease :D

You have no idea my friend, I'm at the 10+ beyond the fiend level and still don't think I have enough. All it takes is one hit and you're hooked. I've moved a couple to help others, or so I thought. Won't be doing that again, so it looks like I'm stuck with what I have :)
 
I actually had to do some ciphering for a second. If you count the one "in the mail", then I have five.

I've narrowed down my strategy; there are three more that I want to buy while there are three that I'm considering selling (after enjoying them for a little longer). These are all folders - Sebenzas actually. (Now the Nyala is starting to pique my interest.....)

I have OWNED about 35 CRK's, but did you notice the past tense?:D

I really enjoy buying/selling/trading CRK's and just enjoy having them in my ownership for awhile.

I wish I could have kept them all, but alas the group has been whittled down to just a handful of them.

I find that I generally carry my small 21 .

This describes me exactly, rarely have 4-6 Sebbies, but oh, those sweet ones that passed thru my hands. Annuals, and inlays with Damascus.
But currently; 3 Sebbies that get EDC: Lg.Reg BG42, Sm.Micarta Tanto, and my current EDC Favorite, a Small 21 with DT Raindrop & a Barry H scale. Oh and a nice Inlay'd 21 stashed away for trading stock (African Blackwood)
Gonna add a Insingo of some version soon. Wish it was in Damascus...

Have owned 5 and currently have 3:
Large plain 21
Small plain 21
2008 Small Regular

Love them all. Will probably end up with a small micarta 21 before the year is out.
