I went to a local gun and knife show and I wasn't seeing a lot of knives, mostly just cheapo chinese knives. I eventually came across a guy that had some benchmades and kershaws, nothing that I've never seen before. Then in a separate case he had some microtech otf's and a chris reeve umnumzaan. I quickly asked to see the umnumzaan because I've never even seen a crk in person before and I really wanted to know why so many people are fans of the brand. It had perfect fit and finish, the lock bar had absolutely no stick, and it was smooth as glass to open. Needless to say I was extremely impressed and I definitely want to purchase a crk in the future. I will probably get a sebenza because although the umnumzaan is very nice, it's not quite my style. I just thought I'd share with all of you crk lovers out there that I now understand why you pay for these extremely high quality knives.

I love my Umnumzaan. CRK gets bonus points for making left handed models:

Sounds a little more wonderful than the one I handled, but they are very nice. ;)
 
This was my first CRK. I have a bunch of Sebenzas, but I carry this Zaan. I doubt that I'll ever sell it.
