Well...almost 3 years ago I thought I could get by with only carrying a Sebenza 25, being a one and only...I still believe it is a very exceptional folder...but I fell off the horse...and my collection went from a few (plus my wifes edc)....back up to 13 in a very short amount of time....and now I'm really digging the Regular sebenza again.


The 25 and Swedge get carried in sheaths, the rest get occasional pocket time, the only one that doesn't get carried or used is the 2011 annual. And of course my wifes EDC she carries most days.

Just recently got 1000 posts as well....so I'm going to have to come up with some kind of giveaway....but anyways, this is no where near LoneWolf's collection or others on the forums, but I also prefer more plain folders, so they are some of my favorites.

From Left to Right. - Can you tell which ones were most recently acquired??

And a Ti-Lock to round out the collection

















 
I'm really enjoying your collection Tyler and being addicted to Sebenzas is a blessing and a great way to invest. Just think Of what it cost to buy some of those rare Sebbies years ago and what they're going for today. Question for you, how does the Inkosi compare to the other smalls?
 
The inkosi is my favorite small folder. Super smooth, stout like the 25 and great ergonomics.

It def feels different than a small reg or 21.

Using it you almost feel like its bigger than it really is if that makes sense.
 
Nice table. Looks like quarter sawn white oak. You addiction looks bad, better go talk to someone.
 
Talking to this crowd about a CRK addiction is like asking your dealer if you should keep doing drugs. There is not much help to be had unfortunately. The fellas over at the Cold Steel sub-forum might be a better option to turn to. ;)
 
Wow that scaled picture of all the knives really shows the size of the inkosi. I want one more than ever now. Awesome collection!

You have a great collection. I just started my CRK collection with an Inkosi but it was slightly better in my hand then other models. Maybe we will get lucky and they will come up with some fancy versions.

It seems like what your collection is missing are some Mnandi's ;) some pocket jewelry to go with your other knives..

Not sure what will be my next CRK a Mnandi, or CF Small 21, or small Snakewood or Box Elder... its only money I guess. To bad I don't have more. Guess I need to sell some other knives to feed a collection.

No, no. We're here to help...

Fantastic collection BTW!
 
Where's the umm? Haha just jokes.
Beauty of a collection you have.

That's strange.. I feel like I've seen a collection of CRK's on a wood table like that somewhere
 
So I come back from a trip to see that another intervention is needed. I've been slacing, I should be here to help friends like you. So let me see what I can do to help you. First, pack up the UG, the damascus, and the Annual, and send them to me. Then if you think you can handle it, you can keep the others. If you still feel the pull, pack them all up and send them to me. :p :D

Beautiful collection Tyler. I think is a good starting point :) keep your wallet and credit card in a safe place :)
 
Excellent, well rounded collection, Tyler.!!!!!
You know, some think a bakers dozen is unlucky. You may have to consider rounding that up by one.
I'm glad to see you acknowledge you have an addiction, that's the first step to the road to recovery.
Unfortunately, there is no cure to this particular addiction.
When they find you sucking your thumb and your index finger on the buy button, you'll know you're in too deep, until then, enjoy the growing collection you have. :D
