Finally pulled the trigger on my first CRK knife. Just bought a large Sebenza 21 from TNF knives. Cant wait. Not sure why it took me so long. Guessing it will not be my last.

Certainly not. :) Welcome to the sickness. Took me over 25 years to finally pull the trigger and it was for a trade on a Small Plain Jane double lug 21 since then a CGG Small 21 with Diamond Plate Graphic and a Large double lug Gabon Ebony inlay 21 gifted from a friend here at BFC. Lot's of great people here to help with any questions or help you buy more. ;) :) .

Congrats fidedude!

Something romantic about researching, hunting down, pouncing on and then finally owning and using your first Sebenza. I really, really wish I didn't get rid of my first one but it was a bit small for me; small Micarta Insingo. I didn't quite understand what craftsmanship in a knife was until I handled a CRK. You'll love it.
 
Congrats on your 1st CRK... and welcome to the forums. Do take some time and browse around, as there are alot of information here.

Yeah, I just bought my first large 21 too. Then, I bought a used small 21 from the forum. Now, I am going to sell a lot of other knives I have to fund a large Inkosi.
 
Thanks for all the congrats and pics. Some nice knifes you all have. I think I am in the right place for sure. I am definitely not a one and done kind of guy. Don't think I will give you any kind of competition Lone-Wolf:D . You da man.

Congrats, Welcome to BF and pics or it didn't happen :)
 
Well I got her in last week. Having a hard time falling in love. Trying a little every day. I have read a lot of people go through the same. Fit and finish is outstanding of course. Very good quality. Just wanted to be love at first flip.

I was in the same boat as you. Pretty underwhelmed for the coin of my first CRK. Take it apart, admire the simplicity, clean, lube and open and close that thing until your finger falls off. Once it's broken in it's amazing.
