Congrats, great choice! Next up, you need to add a small Sebenza..... :)

IMO you got one thing right with your first that I didn’t get right. I started with a small and as soon as I received it, I realized I needed the large. As soon as I got my first large, I realized that I needed a large with inlays. On the third try, I finally got it right. Congrats on getting it right the first time!

On the third try, I finally got it right.
That was me as well, with different selections (pj insingo, micarta dp, micarta insingo). I wasn't thrilled with the feel of the 21, though; so it has basically sat unused for a couple of years - I think I may have pocketed it 8 times. I'm anticipating the arrival of a large micarta inkosi insingo; and, since I was able to confirm liking the 25 better than the 21, I suspect this will probably lead to the 21 going away (unless I replace the insingo with a tanto).
Congrats on the new arrival, E40!

I say this as a fan of the Inkosi - get an Umnumzan. I know people love the 21 and it's a classic for a reason but the Zan is THE CRK to own for me. I love it.

I'd have to try one in hand first. I know I like the feel of the 25 better, thanks to the generosity of a member that sent me one to experience (and it's somehow taken me a couple years to make this purchase)... and I have mixed feelings about the zaan, based on images.

A great first CRK that will serve you well only if you put it to use and not be a photo model ;)
That thing looks brand new, go make it yours and post some pics of a knife that gets used.:cool:
 
That should serve you well
Thanks!

I have to admit, I do like them. I will at some point.

Great choice for sure
Make a good use of it ;)
I buy knives as if they will be users, though not all do. I normally carry knives of this size and type as personal protection. Always have a true pocket knife as a utility tool.

As one who has smaller than average hands, I will get a small one and see if it fits that much better. This is comfortable for me. Thanks!

Congrats! I think your thread title should be First CRK (of many) because you’ll probably end up with more than one....:D
No doubt...

I may have one of each before it is all over.

This guy is having a good day.
Indeed. At least good with still having your clothes on!

It will get carried and used. Working on my photography skills.

Thanks!
 
That came out a little mixed up...but I think you said your day would have been better if lapedog was sans clothing??? :eek:
Yeah, I guess I could have been a little clearer in my statement.
