First CRK....a 25!

HWF · Mar 26, 2014

After hearing so many great things and being without one for so long, I ordered a Sebenza 25 yesterday from TNK. I couldn't stand the thought of waiting longer than I had to so I got next day shipping and it arrived this morning.

WOW!

Everything about it is perfect. I'm in love.

I always believed when I heard about the quality, but actually holding one of these makes me a believer on a whole new level. I can't find a flaw and can only add to the 'You must get one!' train. What an awesome knife!

Congratulations on your 25! Personally, the 25 is my favorite CRK model and addresses everything I felt was lacking in the Umnumzaan and 21.

Love my 25. It was my first CRK as well. Really like the ceramic lock interface. It's genius. Enjoy.

Congrat. It's one hell of a knife.

Awesome! Great EDC...maybe the best all around.

Congrats! I envy people who experience a CRK for the first time! Excellent first choice.

Congrats on a fantastic knife. The 25 was my first choice also and I couldn't be happier.

Mr. HWF. . . Good choice my fellow CRK brother.

I bought a used/customized 25 off the exchange several months back and I couldn't ever warm up to the mods made on it so I sold it after just a couple of days.

I then traded into a NIB 25 from another fellow forum friend on the exchange and again, just couldn't warm up to it, generally speaking. So, it got sold on the exchange.

THEN

I read this post by another fellow CRK'er:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1163430-Sebenza-25-**Update**-from-Last-June-2013

I said to myself: "how on Earth do I NOT own a 25 right now!" So, I scurried over to the exchange and found a very, very gently used 25 for a reasonable price. I pulled the trigger and in my pocket she rests--never to be let go.

As others have said it is a true masterpiece and the ceramic ball interface is truly brilliant.

Use and enjoy.

She might be the one.....don't tell my wife.

I have lusted after a 25 for quite a while and just recently picked one up from a fellow Canuck forum member. This is

By far the best knife I have owned to date. I was hoping it would live up to the accolades and it did and exceeded them.

Awesome knife!! Congrats!!

congratulations on your 25, it will serve you well and is a part of CRK history. I have two and love them equally.

HWF · Mar 30, 2014

Thanks guys!

The 25 is an entry drug!

Next it will be a micarta 21, then maybe a micarta Insingo, then an Unumzaan...

At least it was for me!

And after watching various videos on the company and the family, I am glad to support the strides they have made here in the USA. And am glad they decided to come here and continue their craft.

Truly an American success story and well deserved.

I recently acquired a 25 on the exchange and I am very pleased with as I'm sure you are.

Good score...:thumbup:
