Got my first CRK today from a forum member, thanks @Silverstonev8! Large Inkosi, black canvas micarta. I have a feeling there will be more coming my way.

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!

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'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.

Thanks!
I have to admit, I do like them. I will at some point.Congrats, great choice! Next up, you need to add a small Sebenza.....
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.Great choice for sure
Make a good use of it
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!
No doubt...Congrats! I think your thread title should be First CRK (of many) because you’ll probably end up with more than one....
Thanks!
I may have one of each before it is all over.
Indeed. At least good with still having your clothes on!
It will get carried and used. Working on my photography skills.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.
Thanks!

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