CRK in 2017

Ceramic ball on any of the knives is a WIN! Get rid of the Raindrop or go back to the old pattern. The one CRK is using now is CRINGE WORTHY. Yes! Please bring us an Insingo Inkosi! Some type of Annuals on either the 21, Inkosi or even bring back the Regulars...MUST be a single piece inlay.
 
3. Either get Raindrop Damascus back to the old, tight pattern or replace it with something different. Seriously, the large smudges and lack of a true pattern on most of the current Raindrop is terrible. I just received in the last few days a knife I have had on order for quite a while, and the damascus is awful. Please get this corrected. PLEASE!

5. Limited edition runs of damascus. Lets get back to those special patterns such as "Reptilian", "Bubblewrap", etc. I'd be all for ordering a knife with something that sets it apart from what everyone else has.

Nice list! I am completely with you on your damascus topics. Fully supporting this. I think there is enough room for a new damascus pattern. Why only replacing wood inlays?

Although I love both, the regular Sebenza as well as the One Piece Knife range, I think it wouldn't be smart to bring them back. Currently both knives do have a classical status today, which should not be terminated by re-establishing those models. Also I think each manufacturer has to move forward. Bringing back already discontinued models to the market is most likely seen as "okay, they are running out of ideas and innovation". I wouldn't recommend this.
 
1. Bring back Annuals.
2. The current Raindrop patterns range from not good to hideous and embarrassing. Fix it or get a different pattern. Devin offers 15 known patterns of his Damascus, most of which look really neat and would sell really well.
3. Bring back Regulars. My favorite CRK design ever.
4. Large Mnandi.
5. Damascus Insingo!!!
6. Wood inlay options for the Insingo.
7. One-piece Inlays for all CRK's.
8. Captured lanyard pin for L21/ all CRK's.
9. Double thumb lugs standard on all CRK's.
10. Damascus Insingo!!! (Yes, twice. Honestly... DO IT!!!!!) :)

I love CRK's very much. I have EDC'd them exclusively for almost two years. I have never done that until CRK's came into my life.

My perfect CRK would be a Regular Annual in Bog Oak with Damascus Insingo blade.
 
A Tanto Large Inkosi maybe a damascus model thrown in
Some more of those awesome damascus blades in colours that i have seen around ie blue
+1 for double thumb lugs as standard on all knives
Option of anodised handles on all knives
YES!
A large Tanto Carbon Fiber, damascus, double silver lug...
 
Medium sized Umnumzaan - in carbon fiber.... that's the ticket.

Oh, and I'd like to see CRK offer the "Regular" style blade shape in both small and large configurations. I like the bullnose look of it.

Another vote for Insingo Inkosi, large and small (but especially small).
 
LARGE MNANDI. All Ti, inlayed canvas micarta, CF, I DON'T CARE. PLEEEEASE just make one... or two. I'll buy two. But probably 3 or 4. 3.5" blade length.
 
I would love to see a run on one piece "annual style" inlays and the return of the one piece knives!

Count me in on this, but only if they keep the pivot bushing and NO ceramic ball interface.

I am all in with both of these!!!!
 
Remove the "Idaho Made" stamp. Doesn't add any value. Chinese knock-offs still say "Idaho Made." It has always bugged me since they put it on. Make it clean again. No need for special snowflake s..t.

Just my meaningless opinion...
 
I am only i9nterested in one thing. Non perforated washers.


And bringing back the regular along with them.
