Hey guys, decided to enter the world of CRK knives. Been collecting with my father for about 15 years . Mostly production folders (Benchmade, spyderco, Emerson etc.) finally decided to step up the my game and get me and dad a Sebenza. I ve narrowed it down to a couple of 21s. But I really like to handle them before spending 700$. Can't decided between a large or small. Any one know any dealers in the Massachusetts area. I'd be willing to drive to adjacent states NH, RI, Ct. Maybe 1-1/2 hours out of Boston. Please let me know if you guys know of as place .
 
If you go to Chris Reeve's site they have a list of vendors there. You might start your search there.
 
If your are getting two - get one of each! My opinion is that the small is less intrusive and the large is heavier duty. If you are in a more labor intensive lifestyle, work or home, the large would be better. Otherwise I recommend the small. But seeing first hand is the best option.
 
i got the regular small 21 and like it for edc but if you know you are going to do some harder tasks frequently maybe the large. Be prepared they are a bit stiff new, i was so mad when i got mine because i could barely open it without killing my thumb, just takes some technique and some oil and they break in nice
 
Bought a large 21 insingo as my first seb, if I could go back I'd probably buy a large clip point first. I really like my insingo but I can't wait to buy a regular!
 
Here's an image my buddy's Large CRK with inlays next to a Large 551 Griptilian:

I went with a large sebbie; i found it easier use and doesnt feel that large in pocket. It's thinner than the grip as well. Checking it out firsthand was what pushed me to buy a large. Secondly too is that if you go the wood inlay route, you'll want to see it first hand, or in my case where local dealers are non-existant, i went to knivesshipfree and checked out the inlays there. They have em individually photographed. Every inlay is different; some have more pits than others, all have uniqueness to them.

Smithfield smoke shop carries nice selection, the address is 20 cedar swamp rd I believe. Not too far of a drive. Good luck!
 
That bug out gear place in Saugus is no longer in business also, tried finding them one day and it is now a nail place, also tried calling and number is disconnected!
