Ok I'm going to be in huge trouble from the wife...

I ordered a zaan on Tuesday from Travis @ Edgedspecialties. Then today I ordered a Pacific, and then a Nyala since Travis still has several of the original Nyala NIB, so no "Idaho made" engraving.

All 3 from Travis so he's happy. That puts me up to 7.

And I still have a 25 on order and another 21.

When will the madness stop?

Anyone set a limit to the number of knives they can have to force them to sell one before they can buy another or something similar?

I need to stop looking at the forums or something.
 
It's easy to get carried away, I personally keep my whole entire knife collection at 8. Ideally I actually want to shrink it down to just 6. It takes a LOT of self-control..... LOTS! Stop checking the forums seems to be the only cure. Enjoy your new purchases.
 
Is the Tanto that good? I will admit it now and say I don't like the look of either of the other blade options. I'm preferring the original shape.

Maybe I'm just not doing what they are good at?

I have no clue man. I was just messing with you, as I don't own a CRK yet(I'm working on it). I don't care for tanto blades either.

Fair play. :) I will wait till you make your first. :p

Edit: I was trying to have fun as well, since I thought you were up & up on the Tanto since you mentioned it. I will just say it, the Tanto blade from what I know was made to penetrate body armour, for example the tip of a Japanese katana and other weapons as well. I think since someone in the military had some knives fashioned in that style it then became cool like all the other "tactical" stuff people are in to. I'm not going to be attempting to penetrate body armour anytime soon, but I guess you never know when what you might be up to if the SHTF. If I ever desire a blade made for stabbing armoured people, I hope to use something a lot bigger than a sebby.

First of all, congrats on your incoming CRK's and let's get some pics when they roll in.

Secondly, as far as far as the madness stopping, you'll have to ask somewhere else:p

I've stopped looking at dealers sites and I try my best to keep out of the for sale threads unless I'm checking in on my own. I broke down and ordered some bits and peices (clip insert, lube, some blue clothes for my Regulars, lanyard with titanium bead) in an effort to get some sort of CRK fix. That worked for the most part and is alot cheaper AND I get to have that puppy waiting for the mailman feeling so, next time buy some swag or something :D

I have a 25 on order too by the way, how pumped about it are you?:thumbup::cool:
 
Yep, Travis is "The Man"!! Sounds like everyone is happy, (with the possible exception of Justin's wife), but hey, happiness isn't a bad thing......:D and it sounds like Justin's wife is going to get the Nyala for her BOB.

This is, however, only the beginning........ ;)
 
Yes, I've put myself on a limit many times, but my problem is sticking to it.

Congrats on your new knives, I like all of those models.
 
Yikes -- how are so many people ordering the limited run 25 -- and what are you paying?
 
The Limited Edition 25's are only the beginning.
The 25 will become a standard offering from CRK in only a few months and at about the same price range as the current Sebenza 21 as I understand it.
It may be pre-ordered direct from CRK at this time with delivery scheduled in a few months when regular production becomes established.
Hope this helps. :)
 
Slow it down a bit otherwise before you know it, you'll be classified a Collector and that's when all hell breaks loose.

Glad to see someone else like me. I am actually down to 5, and a BM 3100 that I retired. At my age I don't need knives just sitting around, and I am not a collector. Contentment is difficult if you keep reading these forums, and visiting dealers sites.
 
Just bought an Umnumzaan :foot::o

I really love the blade shape and thickness of the Umnumzaan. Just enough tactical flavor and potential. I sit here playing with it and my large Sebbie. They're both nice. They are both so SMOOTH.

Hey River, hope you like your Umnum as much as I do...

Congrats! That's too funny, I recently ordered my 1st, 2nd & 3rd CRK's from Travis too. Already received the Small Sebenza & Boss (Zaan) and have one on order that's in the build process. Yummy, those CRK's are some fine blades indeed and I couldn't be more pleased. Travis is oustanding too, so glad I found links here at BF's leading to him.
