Hey Guys,
Looking to pull the trigger on my first CRK and wanted to validate and discuss some things with you.
In Australia we are quite limited to trialling these blades, we only have 1 online stockist that I know of and reselling means taking quite a big hit. I want to get it right the first time.
I'm currently 83% decided on a Large Inkosi Drop point plain.
The small seems too small on paper. Going off my ZT 0450 specs which fits perfectly in my hand for handle length I wouldn't want anything smaller.
I can see the Small Sebenza is a little bigger then the Inkosi but still feel it might be cutting it too fine. I'd imagine a Medium size would be perfect. I'm guessing this has been discussed before.
I love the simplicity and reduced cost of the plain model. I also much prefer the look and function of a classic drop point given I have used this blade shape for decades so would prefer to stick with this. I like the idea of the double lug as I am ambidextrous and would 100% be opening it with both hands.
I just wanted to share my thoughts I am fully open to suggestions and comments from people who may have been in similar situation.
I know some people may tell me to try both but it's a very costly endeavour and I may eventually end up having to try both a large and small but would really like some input on other peoples decisions.
Much appreciate any help you guys can offer.
Cheers
Joel
