Compared to a virus... thats just a cold

 

[RiverRat84]

Shew, I knew I had nothing to worry about

Three? Three! If you count Mnandi and yes, a Walking Stick, I bought ten or twelve in one month. I am afraid to go back and to the real accounting.

 

[RiverRat84]

See, this is the exact reason I posted this.

To people on a CRK forum, three Sebenzas is perfectly acceptable.

To a non knife nerd girlfriend, one is too much.

I will say, she stuck with me through every Dozier purchase, but she doesn't have to know how much a Sebenza actually cost so I might be ok

At first she got interested which was cool, now its:

"Hey babe, check this out"

Her reply "how much is this one?"

"Oh not much, nothing really"

Then she rolls her eyes, gives me a peck on the cheek and leaves me to drool over my newest acquisition

"three in a months time..." now go and tell her how much you saved on shipping!? I hope so....
You have to look at it in the long run...

Haha alas, nothing was saved on shipping. Well, one was acquired through trade and I didn't have to pay the shipping on that Perhaps I took your post too literally?

Speaking of the trade knife, that'll be arriving today!

At the beginning of this year, I had zero CRK knives. I bought a Mnandi in 2008 but ending up selling it last year.

This is what I've purchased since January of this year:

7 small Sebenzas
1 Umnumzaan
1 Mnandi
1 Nyala
1 Sikayo

Now I'm on the hunt for a large regular Sebenza. And maybe a large 21, no "Idaho Made" stamp. After that I should be done!

 

[moonwilson]

Sounds like a good month to me!

 

[Jan I]

After that I should be done!

Yea, sure. It could happen.

 

[RiverRat84]

After reading these responses im tempted to edit my post to "three Sebenzas in less then a months time, no sweat!"

Number two rolled in today and low and behold I love it! Sebenza 21 all titanium handle. No less impressed than I was with the Micarta inlay version. Even got over my fear of breaking it down and putting it back together. All went well and no stripped screws to boot

Number three rolls in early next week!

This is not all of them, but I was losing light and the mosquitos were hungry.

What I mean to say is, life is short, buy good tools.

Actually I would consider you in good company

 

[phantom357]

Number 5 or 6 would make you addicted

 

[RiverRat84]
