After searching the internet for 'the one', I finally found it! It just jumped off the screen and said "Take Me, I'm Yours!". After nervously scrambling my grey matter, I made the call and it will be delivered tomorrow! My hands were shaking after I got off the phone. I know I'm gonna need a lot of alcohol to get to sleep tonight. Hello SNPA!

Large Sebenza with a Unique Graphic Design, Blue Star Saphire and Blued Spirograph Damascus blade.

SNPA = Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - My personal favorite!
 
Now, the question is, are you gonna use it? I really don't think I could get myself to use such a beauty.
 
I have to agree that is a beautiful knife. I had a "Calvary" at one time that I eventually ended up selling when Lisa completed my custom "Raindrop" Graphic.

I really liked the way the front and the custom lock bar silver contrast thunderstorm graphic came out but I just couldn't bring myself to "use" it for things like cutting open boxes, etc. Not so much concerned about the blade so much as the graphic picking up a big scratch. I do carry some Unique Graphics as part of my EDC rotation of Sebenzas and if my dressy Graphic was my only large I guess I would break down and really use it. Maybe the solution is to carry a second knife along to use for beater tasks ;) I just got a P.P. Umfaan to go with the Sebenza for exactly that reason.
 
Thanks guys! Only approximately 10 hours, 650 minutes, 39050 seconds to go!

Dabno, no, don't think I'll be using this one. Coffee table display model. :)

Raindrop, that's a beauty ya got there. Woo Hoo!
 
Another beauty from CRK.

Precision engineering combined with beautiful graphics and damascus blade.

Aaaaaah life is good!
 
Wow!!! Two beautiful knives. Man the folks at CRK are some talented craftsmen (and women :D ). Congrats FivePointOhh.
 
Very nice knife. The colored damascus blades are just gorgeous. You would have to be a real nut to use one as the finish will not hold up. Very nice to look at though. I have one that never gets used (large Desert Ironwood Inlay/bronze damascus blade).

Raindrop, that is simply one awesome graphic on that blade! I am really surprised you didn't opt for a little "raindrop" damascus to complete the theme. Again, cool knife. :cool:
 
Blademan 13,

I have a "couple" of Large Wood Inlaids with Damascus and again I can't bring myself to "use" them due to concerns about scratching the blade. The original intention was to use my signature Raindrop Graphic but I just have too many other Sebbies that I carry as part of my EDC rotation. No denying the beauty of Five PointOh's colored Damascus and it will even work nicely as a dress up knife. I know there are some people out there that regularly use their Damascus on a daily basis :eek:

I just added a used Umfaan that I intend to carry with my Large Sebenzas and use more often ;)

Gentlemen, thanks again for the comps and congrats!!!

I'm so excited about today's delivery I feel like I drank a pot of coffee. :eek:

Blademan, I don't think I have ever seen one of those bronze damascus blades. If possible, could you post a pic?

Raindrop, you have a bevy of beautiful Sebbies! Nice Umfaan too. I saw your pix on another forum. Sweet collection man.
 
I have just begun to carry a large woodie (the knife boys, the knife) and I simply love it. It has just the regular blade but I would love to send it back and be fitted with an uncolored damascus blade. Damascus is actually quite resistant to wear and tear but the colored stuff is not.
 
Thats one thing i love about CRK, there is no limit to the creative works which come from that shop. Just when you think you have seen it all, they WOW you again. TWo awesome examples on this thread.
 
Dave,

Sorry bud, but no pics. Maybe one of the other guy's can post a pic of one. You don't see too many of the colored blades. I really wish I had a nice pic of it.
 
My baby came to me today at 2:15PM and boy is she a sweetie! :D
Photo's don't do her justice. She's a lot prettier in person. :)
She's finally mine....all mine. ***rubs hands together and grins***

WOW :eek:

That baby is f'n sweet man. Very nice knife.

Only thing I don't like about it is that I would be afraid of damaging the blade.

Wish I had the money to buy a Small Classic Sebenza...would replace my current BM 941BC1BL. Maybe a graduation present? :D
 
WOW~ The colored Damascus is great looking! Nice knife you ended up with. Try taking some pics outside at different angles to show off how the graphics tie into the blade colors :cool:
